Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Symbols of Fortune Floating Gap card & video tutorial

A few weeks ago I posted a Floating Gap card which I had made for my Mum for Mother's Day. You can see it here. As I've received a few queries about the card, I thought I'd share a short video on how to make it.

Here's the Symbols of Fortune card made during the video which features a Basic Gray, White and Gold colour scheme.

I used the Fabulous Frames dies for the centre frame, but did add photo corners from this die set onto the card after the video was finished. The sentiment is from the Celebrating You stamp set. Again thanks go to Iced Images for the inspiration behind the design of my card. The floral embellishment on the card comes from the Good Fortune die set. 

Here's the video on how to make this card.  Please note it is an unedited Facebook Live replay.

              

This card is quick and easy to make and can be made for any occasion.  Why not give it a try.  If you're wondering what products were used on the Blackberry Fern version at the beginning of the video, it was the Stampin' Up! Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper, Forever Flourishing dies, Stylish Shapes dies and Celebrating You stamp set.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Forever Fern Joseph's Coat card

Today's card features the versatile Stampin' Up! Forever Fern stamp set and co-ordinating Forever Flourishing dies. This set can be used for many occasions.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Forever Fern Joseph's Coat card

To create the background of the card, I used the Joseph's Coat technique to get this effect. It requires:

  • Randomly inking a white piece of card stock in your favourite colours. I used an assortment of Stampin' Up! green ink pads for my background.
  • Stamp the Forever Fern images in Versamark ink, cover them with clear embossing powder and then heat set using your Heat Tool.
  • Cover the whole card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink by swiping the ink pad across the card stock.
  • Now the magic begins - using a piece of kitchen towel, wipe over the card stock.  The black ink will be removed from the clear heat embossed images and they will shine through the black background.
You then decorate the card to suit the occasion.

Angela's PaperArts: Floating Gap Mother's Day Card

In one of my recent posts I shared how to make a Split Panel Card.  This card is an extension of that concept where the card base is split in two pieces and a focal element is used in the middle to join the card together.  I made this card for my Mum for Mother's Day later this week 


Angela's PaperArts: Floating gap mother's day card with Stampin Up Encircled in Beauty dies

I had only seen cards using imperial measurements in either landscape or portrait style for this card, so I designed my own square version using metric measurements.  

My card is a 14 x 14cm square card and features the sadly retiring Stampin' Up! Encircled in Beauty dies as the focal element.  The sentiment is from the Celebrating You stamp set and it has three of the little Brushed Brass Butterflies as embellishment underneath it. Thanks go to Iced Images for the inspiration for this card style. For the centre focal image you don't have to use a diecut, you can use any shape e.g. circles, squares, rectangles, diamonds etc., but I did like the look of this pretty diecut for this card.

Here's a side view of the card.
