When it comes to stamping, I always love to learn new techniques. Today;s projects feature the Floating Frame Technique and with it you can create two cards at once. So first you need to look through or kitchen, or head on over tho the grocery store from some Press & Seal Plastic Wrap. No regular cling wrap will do, it MUST be Glad Press & Seal for this technique to work. It’s hard to tell from the photo but there is so much depth & dimention to this card because all of the flowers and leaves are popped up.
My friend Lee created this card and shared it with our stamping co-op group and now I’m sharing it with you. Enjoy!

Instructions:
- Stamp 5 Flowers from Healing Hugs and 5 sets of leaves and cut them out.
- Lay the flowers on top of the 4” x 5 ¼” Mat where you want them.
- Cut off a piece of Press n’ Seal and lay over flowers securing to mat.
- Trim excess that is hanging over the mat with your paper snips
- Run that Mat through the Big Shot cutting out your Rectangle piece
- Now you have two designs, one a frame and one a center image for your two cards.
- Gently lift the Press n’ Seal off the mat with the flowers and leave still attached to the Press n’ Seal. Turn over and add a ton of Dimensionals to the back of the images.
- Remove the covers off the Dimensionals and lay the piece back down over the frame to adhere to piece and complete your card.
- Stamp saying in Black Memento in the center of the frame
- For the Tall Card attach the Bottom Mat that you have cut using adhesive. Attach the mat that you have cut from the first image piece using Dimensionals. Make sure you have repeated the process of adding Dimensionals to the back of the flowers on this piece too.
- Add Pearls to embellish and the sentiment and you are done.
