Simple Stamping Techniques Blog Hop Floating Frame Technique

Hello and welcome to another Simple Stamping Techniques Blog Hop. This month we are featuring the Floating Frame Technique - another simple technique that packs a wow in your card making. You simply create a frame, raise it on dimensionals and place some stamping or die cutting behind the frame. Then add some more die cutting or punched shapes in front of the frame.

For my sample I used the "Winter Woods" stamp set and the "In the Woods" Dies, along with "Dashing Deer" and "Detailed Deer Dies". All of these products can be found in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

I started by using a combination of the new Pigment Sprinkles (Bermuda Bay) combined with one of the older Brusho colours - Prussian Blue, onto Shimmery White card. Then a quick spritz with water created a gorgeous background. I manipulated the flow of colour in the centre with an Aqua Painter as I wanted to create the impression of an horizon.

I stamped the bare tree images in Night of Navy and Delicata Silver - a beautiful ink that is available in the Holiday Catalogue. The deer is die cut in Night of Navy and enhanced with Wink of Stella. It is also popped a little with Small dimensionals. The card base is Seaside Spray - one of the 2019 -2021 In Colors.

The name Floating Frame Technique demands a floating frame! So I cut mine out of Seaside Spray card, embossed it with a patterned embossing folder - you could use any that you like - then sponged on some Night of Navy Ink to highlight the pattern. The frame is cut with 2 Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I cut the tree on the outside of the frame with a die from "In The Woods" die set and Night of Navy card, then dabbed it with Delicata Silver directly from the ink pad. The greeting is heat embossed in Silver, decorated with a few Rhinestone Jewels and placed over Silver Metallic Thread.

It was lots of fun creating this card and the Floating Frame Technique gives your cards some added impact. Frames can be any shape or size, and can be placed at any angle. 

Now it is time to hop along to the other demonstrator blogs to see more fun examples of this simple stamping technique.
