Angela's PaperArts: Noel Floating Gap Christmas card

My cardmaking for Christmas this year is well on its way.

This 'Noel' Floating Gap card features some gorgeous Stampin' Up! products including the Joy of Noel bundle, Christmas Classics dies and the Joyful Speciality Designer Series Paper.

Here's a side view of the card which also folds flat for posting in a 15x15cm/6x6" envelope.

Here's how I decorated the back of the card. The rectangle panel has plenty of room to write a message to the card recipients. 

If you'd like to learn how to make a this style of Floating Gap card, please see my YouTube video tutorial here. 

The current Stampin' Up! products used on this project can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

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: 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 

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.
