Today I’m sharing a Floating Strips card, where you get 2 cards from your focal image.
Here’s how to create the focal image:
- Strips of various colors of card stock or even designer series paper
- Piece of Window Sheet, my card used a 3¾” x 3¾” square
- Add the strips (use seal+ or tear & tape) of paper to the window sheet, leaving a small space between each
- Now pick a die cut shape and die cut from the middle (may need to make a few passes to get a good cut since window sheet and card stock layered together)
- Add die cut shape to one card front and negative space to another card base either directly or with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Add die images and greeting to finish the card
The first card using the negative space for the background with a palm tree and grass die cuts added. Any greeting works with the card. I recommend using a dark ink that coordinates with the die cuts.
For this card I’ve added the circle die cut to a Thick Basic White card base and seashells. Images stamped using the Friends are like Seashells stamp set and Seashell Dies.
