Floating frame technique 2 cards

Welcome to my channel. Although my videos are in a tutorial type format, I only really want to give you ideas on ways to use your stamps and dies in different ways, to get the most out of what you purchase. You don't have to keep buying all the new products, most of my videos will translate to stamps you might already have, I will use old products I have, which may not be available anymore, but use something you have or can get. Most of my videos will be floral cards and aimed at the more experienced card makers, but I will endeavor to put some more simple designs in for the beginners.
This card is a technique i haven't tried before, but I am really pleased with the result, and you get two cards out of the one technique, so that's a bonus!

I like that you include your mistakes helps us to figure out how to salvage a card!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Maria, most mistakes are salvageable 🌷🌻🌷

[@NiteOwlCrafter]

Your card is just beautiful and the press n seal trick I had completely forgotten about. Thank you for sharing!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Tammie, yes the press and seal makes it much easier if you have it 🌷🌷🌷

[@judithsigler9644]

Hello, Helen! SO LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE! Sure do appreciate the “tips” n’ even the “boo-boos” in the video to help us all should WE encounter some of them, too! THAT IS ALWAYS HELPFUL! LOVE BOTH of your designs! And like you, LOVE when we get a “two-fer” with our materials! YAY! TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’! Have a LOVELY day! :-)

[@bjsmoker]

Thank you for showing your human side! They are both beautiful cards and the technique is one I have never tried, but looks like a fun thing to do-- or exasperating! I’ll let you know when I give it a go! Thanks so much!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

You're welcome Jeanne, yes a bit exasperating but worth it 🌻🌻🌻

[@spremier9626]

Helen this is a beautiful card but what was really invaluable to me was seeing you fix the crooked frame. I mess that up at least 50% of the time but it never occurred to me to use the metal edge ruler as a guide. I usually keep trimming and trimming until I only have about 1/2 the frame left. With what you e shown here, I could easily lay down a template or frame die at center and do an easy correction. You just made my day! Thanks a million ✌🏽

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Glad it helped Sheryl, there is usually a way to fix something 🌻🌷🌻

Thank you for sharing , these cards are just beautiful . Thank you for keeping in the mistake as it was so good to see how you rectified it and that is how we all learn . Best wishes

Gorgeous cards think I'm going to have a go at this technique, not sure if I can get that clingy paper you have as I'm in the UK but I will have a look in the supermarket. Thanks for the inspiration Helen xx

Love both your cards Helen.. they are stunning.. I am not sure what press and seal paper is .. don't think we can get it in Australia.. but I will try.. can you please explain what masking paper is please.. I would to do this technique.. thanks for sharing it with us,. :)

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Henny, Masking paper is paper that has a low tack backing to it, that you can use when you want to mask a stamp off to do other stamps around it. Then when you take the masking paper away, it shows the stamp behind the stamp you masked. I'm sorry it is hard to explain. Essentially it is a low tack paper, so would work for this technique instead of the press and seal. Equally a repositionable tape would work too.

[@BoDee92]

@@handcraftedbyhelen1963 Thanks Helen for your reply.. I will do a search for something like that .. I only have Jac paper and that would be too sticky..

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Two brands that have marking paper is inkadinkadoo or Gina K

[@elizat.7544]

So pretty.🤗

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Eliza

[@paulawastel8315]

Marvelous idea. I am going to give it a go. I just do not know what I am going to use in the place of the press and seal. I saw in one of the comments I can use masking paper. I will try and source that here in South Africa.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Paula, making paper should work or even a low tack wide painters tape would work 🌷🌷🌷

[@heidiwest3720]

It would have been easier if you left the centre in makes it more stable and remove it after it’s on the card.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Yes very true, I will try this next time,, thanks Heidi
