The card I am sharing is a called a Floating Center Fun Fold or that’s what I am calling it.  It is created using Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set (retiring very soon) and a new stamp set from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, Thoughtful Expressions.  I also use the Splash 3D Embossing Folder from the soon to be retired Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.

These are the card cuts you will need to create this card.

• Basic White cardstock
  • card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″  score at 2-1/8″ & 4-1/4″
  • floating center panel — 2-5/8″ x 4″
  • floating center support box  — 4-1/2″ x 2  score at 1/2″ x 1″ and 1-1/2″
  • embossed layer  —  2″ x 5-3/8″
  • art piece card front —  2-5/8″ x 4″
  • hummingbird — 3-1/4″ x 2-3/4″
  • back panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • greeting — scrap
• Boho Blue cardstock
  • inside mat –4 1/8′ x  5-3/8″
  • mat card front — 2-3/4″ x 4-1/8″
  • floating panel mat — 2-3/4″ x 4-1/8″
  • back panel mat — 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
• Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper
  • inside panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″

 

I am entering the Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge for this card. I went down the left side, across the bottom, and diagonally, I realized when posting the card.

On the two pieces  of Basic White cardstock that measure 2-1/2″ x 4″ stamps flowers using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set.  Color the flowers using a Real Red Stampin’ Blends and the leaves using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.

On the piece Basic White cardstock that measures 4″  x 5-1/4″ (this is the back panel) repeat the above instruction.

Stamp the hummingbird on the piece of Basic White cardstock that measures 3-1/4″ x 2-3/4″.  Color using Real Red, Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake, and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends.

Using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink.  Stamp the sentiment on the panel that will become the floating center panel using a sentiment of your choice.  Mine is from a long retired stamp set.

Emboss the Basic White piece that measure 2″ x 5-3/8″ using an embossing folder of your choice.  I use the Splash folder from Stripes & Splatters  3D Embossing Folders.

This is a view of the card from overhead once you have scored, folded and inserted the support for the floating center panel.

Adhere the embossed piece to the front left panel of the card.

Mat the two pieces of Basic White cardstock that measure 2-5/8″ x 4″ to the Bobo Blue mats that measure 2-3/4″ x 4-1/8″ then adhere one to the embossed panel on the card front and the other to the support for the floating center panel.

Adhere the hummingbird from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set to the front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.    

Pop the Misty Moonlight Gems from Tinsel Gems Three Pack around the card front and inside on the floating center panel.

Adhered the Basic White back panel to the Boho Blue mat and adhere to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

I have the honor of being the Guest Chick for Krafty Chicks Challenge for the month of March.   This is week my final week as a Guest Designer for Krafty Chicks and it has been quiet an experience.  Thank you Krafty Chicks for inviiting me.   The theme this week is All Occasion.  This probably is the easiest challenge because you can choose your theme. Literally Anything Goes, card, gift box, scrapbook page, etc.

The card I am sharing today is created using Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set.

 

Start with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock.  Score at 2″, 3-1/8″, 5-3/8″, and 6-1/2″.  Fold the first one as a Valley Fold, the second as a Mountain Fold, the third as a Mountain Fold and the fourth as a Valley Fold.  This will give you the fun fold.  

Cut a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock, embossing with the Crosshatch folder from the Basic 3D Embossing Folders.  Adhere this piece to the center of the cardbase as shown in the above photo.  Cut two pieces of  Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and adhere on the right and left side of the card front.  From a panel of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper fussy cut four flowers with leaves. From Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green cardstock die cut leaves and stems using dies from Simply Zinnia Dies.  Arrange these over the Granny Apple center piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Stamp a greeting from the stamp set in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  Die cut the greeting using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies.  Pop it over the flower stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut a panel for the back of the card.  Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up!
