Floating Panel Card

Happy Holidays! I hope your Christmas or Hannukah celebrations were memorable and shared with those you love.  We celebrated Christmas with our sons and their families.  We feel blessed and fortunate to have been able to enjoy the holiday with them.

And yes, Christmas has already come but I’m sharing a holiday card (was just too busy with holiday tasks to spend time blogging!). However,  I thought you would enjoy the technique on this card.  It’s a floating panel card and is easily adapted by changing the papers and sentiment.  The floating panel technique makes the card unique.  Plus you can use all those strips of paper you’ve been saving!  

Below is the list of project materials for this card and a video tutorial highlighting the Floating Frame technique:

Sneak Peek: Christmas to Remember

Today’s Christmas in July project offers a sneak peek of the Christmas to Remember Bundle from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog.  You’ll be able to order products from the Mini Catalog starting August 3, 2021. (Yes, catalog date is July but due to product and global shipping delays, launch had to be delayed.) The Christmas to Remember bundle is just one of the offerings in the Painted Christmas Suite. This was one of the first bundles on my preorder list. With the array of holiday greetings in the stamp set, I have plenty of greetings for holiday cards.  When combined with the coordinating Christmas Pinecone Dies as a background, beautiful holiday cards are easy to create. For my project, the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper creates the background for layering the die cuts.
