Many thanks to Dawn Griffith of Dawn's Stamping Thoughts for her video technique for a Floating Gate Fold card (https://youtu.be/1aU7DknzwZI) which I used as my inspiration this month!
Such a fun card to make and so many different possibilities! For this card I used:
Card Base: Mint Macaron 21cm x 14.8cm scored at 5.25cm and 15.75cm
1st Layer: Pretty Peacock 14.5cm x 4.75cm (x4) and 14.5cm x 10cm (x1)
2nd Layer: Vellum 14cm x 4.25cm (x4) and
Whisper White 14cm x 9.5cm
I embossed the vellum with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and attached with Tombow.
TIP: When attaching vellum apply Tombow with a sponge evenly over the whole piece (not like I did, just squirted around the edges) and it won't show.
I used the Ornate Layers die with Pretty Peacock as a background for my front piece of Whisper White 5.5cm x 9cm.
On the inside my floating strip is Whisper White 13cm x 2.5cm scored at 2.5cm, 8cm and 10.5cm (x2).
I stamped my images on Whisper White and then die cut them with Stitched Shapes (approx. 4cm circle). Then using approx 4.5cm scalloped circle in Mint Macaron and 5cm plain circle in Pretty Peacock from Layered Circle dies.
Here's my first effort using Special Someone stamp set and retired DSP.
TIP: Make sure the shape you use on the inside is large enough to cover most of the strip (between the folds) used to make it 'float'!
