Sunrise Sailing Bundle - Floating Strips Background Technique - Crafty Collaborations - Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

 

I'm happy to be part of today's Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop showcasing background techniques. I'm sure you are just as excited as I am to see the many background techniques shown in this blog hop. So be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post!  

Is that background floating? 

I love optical illusions and this background is so fun and easy to create! If I show you a close up, can you see how it is done? (Scroll down a little to see the how-to video) 

I used 2 of the colors in the BEAUTIFUL BOKEH Designer Series Paper pack to make my 3/8" (1 cm) strips. And the sailboat, clouds and "ahoy!" sentiment are from the SUNRISE SAILING Bundle. Then I embellished with the HOLOGRAPHIC RESIN DOTS for a final touch. 

Watch my how-to video on my Stamp With Joy YouTube channel and then start making some of your own easy floating strips background projects!

Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder - Stamping With Friends - Blogger's Choice

 

Welcome to our Stamping With Friends Blog Hop. This week I am excited to say that each project is "Blogger's Choice." It's going to be extra fun to see what the demonstrators in this blog hop have created! Be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post 😊

A Die That Creates A Fun Fold---FABULOUS!

Don't you just love it when there is a die that makes things easy? I DO! 

The BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES dies have a large butterfly die that sits on the fold of your card base and cuts out a big butterfly shape. How awesome is that? 

For my project, I took it to another level by using the debossed side of the SUNFLOWER 3D Embossing Folder on the butterfly die cut. Then sponge daubers and ink (Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie and Old Olive) were used to color in the sunflower images. Lastly, I ran a Melon Mambo ink pad over the whole embossed image in a direct-to-paper technique to color the background of the butterfly and make the die cut butterfly really "pop" off the card front! 

You may also have noticed that the area behind the butterfly is also embossed. For the back half of the card, the BIRCH WOOD 3D Embossing Folder was used. 

I also added an additional small die cut butterfly in the Bubble Bath color, and the "hello" sentiment from the BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES Bundle. 

Watch here the how-to video here, or from my Stamp With Joy Nelson YouTube channel, to see how this fun fold card was made:
