Petals & More Alternative Floating Frame Technique (No Press & Seal)

Welcome to Mitosu Crafts and thanks for stopping by. It’s Jay here and today I have an alternative card idea to the Floating Frame Technique to share with you using Petals & More Thinlits Dies and the coordinating stamp set, Petal Palette.

 The Floating Frame Technique has been very popular recently and I first saw this technique used by Artisan Jackie Aitken on her Instagram feed a couple of months ago. Jackie used a household product called Press & Seal which we do not have. A couple of weeks ago, I had an idea of using a different product which we did have. I wasn’t sure whether it would work so instead of doing a whole frame, I only did the topper. Here is the result of my Floating Topper…

The household product I used, pet owners will have 😉 Can you guess what I used for this alternative Floating Frame card?

Card Details

Before I tell you here are some more details to my card

Cardbase 14.5cm x 21cm, folded in half at 10.5cm

OR

Cardbase: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, folded in half at 4 1/4″

I stamped the flowers from Petal Palette stamp set in the colours mentioned above with some in 2nd Generation ink then die cut with the co-ordinating dies from Petals & More Thinlits set

I then took a square die from Stitched Shapes Framelits set to determine how big the area I need to cover

The product I used to lay the flowers onto was none other than a lint roller refill! I imagine it’s more sticky than the Press & Seal. So if you do use it for your Floating Frame card, take some stickiness off by patting on your clothes first, easy right?!

Once happy with the layout, I ran the sticky sheet through the Big Shot (the pressure from doing so does adhere the die cuts on the sticky sheet even more)

Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the flower die cuts to pop them up and create the illusion that they are floating

I added the trellis which was die cut from Petals & More. This was shortened before adhering

The sentiment from Petal Palette was stamped in Memento and die cut. This Petals & More label die was shortened by running through the Big Shot twice

What do you think of this alternative Floating Frame card? Did you guess what I used before I told you?

Thanks again for stopping by. Until next time, BYEEE!
