Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of Seven Cardmakers to try a new technique. This month we have Floating Frames for you. The idea is to create a frame using die cuts and popping them up on foam. This can be done with or without Press N Seal.
I used the BetterPress butterfly set and lay them out on a piece of card. Once I was happy with the position of the butterflies I use Press N Seal to hold them down. I die cut through the Press N Seal and used both parts, one as a frame and the other the central focus of the card. I couldn't resist adding an extra butterfly on both cards.
Even though this technique was a little bit fiddly I am going to try it again with some Christmas die cuts. I hope you check it out with us at Group of Seven Cardmakers
