A Card a Day in May--Day 6!!

/

Hello friends! This is a card share featuring a technique I have used quite a bit lately—the Floating Strip Technique! It is such a good way to use up those strips of paper we all seem to have in our scrap bins!

After I designed this card and shared it with my card making group I realized that the floating strip section looks rather like a baseball! It wasn’t what I was intending but it works with Your Biggest Fan Bundle as a bit of a happy accident!

The base of the card is Sahara Sand and I layered Basic White with a panel of DSP from the Hey Sports Fan collection. It almost looks like this DSP has been run through an embossing folder but it hasn’t, it really is that amazing.

For the Floating Strip component, I ran my strips of Sahara Sand cardstock through the Timber 3D folder to mimic the DSP. The window sheet and strips are die cut with the largest circle from the Layering Circle Dies. Once you have the shape die cut, add it to your card base using the Foam Adhesive strips on the backside of the circle. I like to use the strips because they do have a little more height than a regular Dimensional.

I used a few of the ticket dies from the Sports Event Dies to accentuate the sentiment which is die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (a craft room must have, hit #addtocart ). I also used the twine and Resin Stars embellishments to complete this card!

 

The inside of the card is stamped with some Crumb Cake stars from the Your Biggest Fan stamp set and a cute die cut ticket with “Happy Father’s Day” is added over top as a little extra happiness on the inside!

Sometimes its an unexpected surprise to have something on the inside!

I hope you enjoy this Father’s Day themed card and if you have not purchased this bundle, you definitely need to before it is gone for good at the end of June. It is a keeper for me as I find it is unique and has a lot of potential.
