I have intended to try the floating object card for quite a while. And today I have given it a shot. I will not say mastered it, but I am happy with the outcome. The Thoughtful Journey DSP is easy to make a great card with.
Papers
The floating picture and the DSP are the stars of this card. This beautiful paper is from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. These papers all look like a watercolor painting that have been turned into DSP. And honestly some of Stampin’ Up!s papers are just that. But I am not sure about this pack, so I will not say that is the case. However it was created, the paper is gorgeous. Additionally, this paper is part of the DSP Sale that is almost over!!
To get the card basics, I pulled the colors from the DSP. The card base is Old Olive and is paired with Blackberry Bliss. Sadly the Blackberry Bliss is so dark that you cannot see I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder on that layer. It really stands out in person.
Dies
The circle for the floating picture is made using the Everyday Details Dies. I used the largest one and it was the perfect size. This die has circles around the edge and I would have preferred a solid circle. Any circles you have in your stash would work however.
The sentiment Die is a fabulous new one. It is from the Unbounded Love Dies. I die cut the piece twice. Once with Old Olive and once with Basic White. There is no extra cutting involved. The center that I stamped on is cut out when you use the Die. And they piece back together perfectly!
Sentiments
The sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. I love the beautiful font. It is not shown, but I used another thinking of you type sentiment on the inside with a strip of the same DSP along the bottom. I really need to remember to photograph the inside!!
Extras
The little bow on the sentiment is from a single strand of the 2023-2025 In Color Twine. I had another card where I pulled the strands apart since it so thick. There are about four strands together. I am really loving the thin and simple bow. The bling is from the Purple Shimmer Gems. A single of the darkest color was added to the sentiment also.
Directions for the Floating Picture
The largest circle from the Everyday Details was used to cut Basic Black card stock. Next I took a piece of the DSP that I cut 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 and then cut it into 1/2″ strips. I began placing the strips at the bottom and used the edges of the Stampin’ Dimensionals. You can use the Foam Strips, but I have a lot of Dimensional sheets with only the edges remainig. I tried to think of a method to equally space the strips, but ultimately ended up just eyeballing it. Once they were all attached, I turned it over and cut around the black circle.
