What’s better than a mini catalog go live day? Well nothing LOL but how about learning a fabulous new technique? Even better how about combining two fabulous techniques on one card! Today’s card is all about techniques using one new and one past highlighted technique and combining them into one super card! A split front card is a very simple variation on a normal layout cutting each side of the card front at 1 1/4″ from the sides. The Floating elements technique I highlighted on my August 10th, 2022 post last year, it uses a window sheet to make strips of DSP or cardstock appear as if it’s floating off the page!
Measurements:
BASE: Pebbled Path CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4
Pebbled Path layer: 2 3/4″ x 4″ and scrap for
sentiment piece
Basic White Layer: 2 3/4″ x 4″
DSP pieces: (2) 1″ x 4″
(1) 3″ square cut into strips
Window Sheet: 2 1/2″ x 4″
The Mini catalog is now live and the current hostess code in case you have to have something is 4RZZKTH7
Score the card front at 4 1/4″.
Cut from each side 1 1/4″ in from the edge of the card front to the score line.
Run adhesive on the back side of the two outer strips and adhere to the back of the card.
Cut from each side 1 1/4″ in from the edge of the card front to the score line.
Run adhesive on the back side of the two outer strips and adhere to the back of the card.
Adhere the 1″ x 4″ strips of DSP to the two cardstock strips you just adhered to the card base.
Adhere the Basic white layer 2 3/4″ x 4″ to the middle section of the card base.
Run the Pebbled Path layer through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card front’s middle section.
Cut the 3″ square DSP section into incrementally smaller strips. I cut mine at 5/8″ from each outer edge, then 1/2″ from each edge then split the last strip in half at about 3/8″.
Adhere the strips on the window sheet and cut off overlap.
Adhere Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the underside of the middle strips ( as the window sheet will hang over the split front flap and you do not want the mini dimensionals to show.
Stamp the Winter Wishes from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Pebbled Path scrap and die cut with the second smallest banner die in the Nested Essentials die set.
Adhere the sentiment piece to the floating element and adhere the floating element onto the middle flap of the split front card.
Add Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems in Silver to the card front and this dynamic duo of technique cards is complete!
Try combining your favorite techniques and go make some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
