Today I'm sharing a little different for me. I've created a Triple Diamond Floating Card for The Scrap Room craft store using the Merry & Bright collection from Ciao Bella.
The base was created using DDW Cardstock in Warratah. I chose some of the pattern papers from the Merry & Bright 6x6 Fussy Cut Pad for the patterned panels. The front diamond panels were cut from papers in the Merry & Bright 12x12 Paper Pad for the base.
The diamond panels are a little tricky. I'm not gonna lie, this took some engineering and I had to get inventive for this. The reason being is that when you cut a square and then rotate it, you have to make sure that the image/pattern is going the right way. To get around this I and a diamond (square) template from scrap paper to the panel size. Once I decided which papers would work for the panels, I placed the square over the area that I specifically wanted to use for the panel. Making sure that the square panel was rotated as a diamond to mimic the card panel design. I lightly taped it to the paper then trimmed it down to the correct size. If you are using patterned papers that work in every direction, you won't need to do this but these papers didn't allow that flexibility so I improvised and it ended up working out.
The sentiment and bow were cut from the Merry & Bright 12x12 Paper Pad and the bow from the Merry & Bright 6x6 Fussy Cut Pad. The poinsettia flower is from Uniquely Creative. If you are mailing this card then leave the flower off so it will mail flat.
To finish I went around the diamond panels, the sentiment and bow using Stickles Glitter Glue in Platinum.
