Stampin' Up! - Floating Card Technique

 Floating Card Technique


Wow Tip: Magical Floating Cards
Take a look at this standard card. Completely ordinary, right? We ask you to leave reason at the door as we demonstrate . . . floating cards!

Okay, so there’s no trickery involved, but your customers will love this stunning floating card that reveals the magic of crafting with Window Sheets. To create the illusion that the decorative panels are suspended inside the card, simply sandwich the Window Sheet between coordinating die cuts to conceal the adhesive and achieve the floating effect.

A few tips before you begin: Window Sheets have a strong memory and require a deep score line. For best results, score several times or score in both directions. To create a crisp fold, place a scrap of cardstock over the score line as a buffer and burnish with a Bone Folder.

Give this project a try, then CASE it or add your own creative twist to this clearly magical design!

Thanks for stopping by, I have done this technique in class and it a fun way to make a card that says "WOW!"

Take care,
Cindy
