Paradise Parade, Floating strip technique
Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! Today’s post is short and sweet since I’m heading back to school! Today’s Card!!! This was my first attempt at the floating stripe technique and […]
Technique Tuesday this week is the Floating Elements technique. This was something I found on Splitcoaststampers.
Good Morning Everyone Happy Sunday!! Today for Share it on a Sunday, we are all CASEing each other. I'm CASEing Karen from Crafty Karen Designs. As you know, other people's creations can be a huge source of inspiration and CASEing has a couple of meanings... Some Say Copy And Share Everywhere - Basically using the original and sticking pretty much 'word for word' to the design. Others Say Copy And Selectively Edit - so take their design and fuse it with your own ideas to create something based on the original. I tend to do a bit of both, and today I've taken Karen's Card and used her layout and used different products to create a card that looks very similar in terms of positioning, but very different by using a different decoration. Here's the Card I've CASE'd Measurements Rich Razzleberry Card Stock 1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8" Basic White Card Stock 2pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" Wonderful You DSP 1pc - 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" 1pc - Fussy cut flower Window Sheet 1pc - 4" x 4" -------------------------------- Take the Rich Razzleberry Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding one of the Basic White pieces of the inside. Stamp the sentiment in Orchid Oasis into the bottom left of the remaining piece of basic white and add to the card front. Bring in your Cut and Emboss Machine and cut a 3 1/4" approx circle from the Layering Circles Dies from your window sheet. Now, cut your DSP into 1/4" strips - I wanted the DSP design to follow through so I made sure I laid out the paper in order off to the side so it was easier to get it in the right place. As I'm working with a full pattern I started from the edge and worked my way across. Adding a thin line of adhesive to the back of the DSP, Place these strips all over the window sheet circle to cover it, leaving even spacing between each strip. Once Dry trim off the overhanging DSP to get the circle shape. Add this circle to the card front towards the top with mini dimensionals. I will admit, due to the thin strips I did need to cut these in half so that you couldn't see them through the circle. It made it a little more faffy, but I think the results make it worthwhile. Figure out the positioning of the fussy cut flower and add dimensionals to the back of the flower that will sit on the basic white, then add a small amount of liquid glue to adhere the parts that lay over the circle. I hope you liked my card today and will give it a go yourself. I really enjoyed creating it.

***This Blogpost is in English and Dutch!*** Welkom bij deze bloghop van het International Totally Techniques Designteam! We hebben ook deze maand weer een leuke techniek "uitgediept" en laten je samen diverse voorbeelden zien! Leuk dat je er bent! Welcome to this Bloghop of the International Totally Technique Designteam! This month we have chosen another fun technique again and together we will show you several examples of it! Happy to see you here! Deze maand gaan we een vleugje magie toevoegen met de Floating Elements Techniek! This month we will have some magic fun with the Floating Elements Technique! Met deze techniek wek je de suggestie dat je bepaalde onderdelen laat "zweven" boven de kaart! With this technique you can create the illusion that some element of your card is floating. Zoals ik ook hier deed met de Kiwi's! Like I did here with the Kiwi's! Deze keer pakte ik deze toffe set er weer eens bij: Hello Kiwi! Dit is zo'n superleuke set, en zo realistisch, en ook zo makkelijk om mee te werken! This time I selected this stampset for my project: Hello Kiwi! This is such a fun set, and so realistic and easy to work with! Ik begon met het stempelen van een lekkere hoeveelheid kiwi's! Eerst stempelde ik de detailstempels in Black Memento, en met Lemon Lime Twist stempelde ik de binnenkant er overheen, zodat ik de stempel in een keer inkleurde. Als laatste stempelde ik de spetterstempel er overheen in Granny Apple Green. Zo kreeg ik wat meer kleurvariatie en diepte! I started with stamping several kiwi's.First the detail stamp in Black Memento, and with Lemon Lime Twist I filled it up. That way youcan colour the images, in one stamped impression. Next I stamped the splatterstanp in Garden Green to create some colourvariation and depth! Alle kiwi's knipte ik uit met de Paper Snips. Door de eenvoudige vormen is dat echt een makkie ;o) Vervolgens sneed ik een stukje Window Sheet en schikte hier de kiwi's zo secuur mogelijk op. Toen ik tevreden was plakte ik ze op de Sheet met Multi Purpose Liquid Glue.. Toen dit droog was knipte ik met mijn Paper Snips alle uitstekende stukjes weg. Deze "afknipsels"bewaarde ik zorgvuldig voor de volgende stappen. All kiwi's were fussy cut with my Paper Snips. Since all those shapes are very simple, cutting them is very easy! Next step was cutting a piece of Window Sheet and arrranging all the Kiwi's on it. When I was happy with the composition I adhered all the pieces with Multi Purpose Liquid Glue. When the glue was dried I cut off all the overhanging pieces. I made sure I kept the cut of pieces for a next step! Nou, dat ziet er geinig uit, maar van zweven is nog geen sprake! We gaan dus snel verder! Well that looks like fun, but I do not see any floating yet... Let's move on rightaway! Nu nam ik de Nested Essentials Dies er bij en koos daar deze mooi lange zeshoek uit! Hiermee stanste ik deze vorm uit de kaart zodat een frame ontstond! Dit draaide ik om, en op de achterzijde plakte ik dimensionals, precies waar de kiwi's zaten zodat ik ze niet meer zou zien als ik het weer omdraaide. Het frame plakte ik vervolgens op een paneel in Granny Apple Green, waar de kleur van de kiwi prachtig bij afsteekt. En... er is diepte ontstaan. Zie je het? Now I took the Nested Essentials Dies, and chose this lovely shape from the set. I diecut it out of the Window Sheet. That way I got a frame! I turned it around and added Dimensionals exactly where I had glued the kiwi's on the other side. That way you will not see them when you turn the sheet back. I adhered it on a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock, which is a lovely combination with the Kiwi’s! And look, we have created depth! Do you see it? Het frame verwerkte ik vervolgens tot een kaart! Now I used the frame to make a card! De tekst heat embosste ik in wit op een stukje Basic Black Cardstock! The text was heat embossed in White on some Basic Black Cardstock! Maar toen vond ik het natuurlijk zonde om het uitgestanste deel dat over was weg te gooien. Then I realised it would be a waste not to use the centre part I had cut out! Dus ook daar maakte ik een kaart van! So I turned that into a card too! Om het effect van de "zwevende kiwi's" niet onder te sneeuwen hield ik de verdere indeling van de kaart heel simpel. Less Is More is hier zeker van toepassing! To make sure not to overwhelm the effect of the "Floating Kiwi's" I kept the rest of the cards rather easy! Less is more, does definitely apply here! Wat subtiele accentjes zijn genoeg! Some subtle accents are sufficient! En oh ja! Ik was dit bijna vergeten: Die overgebleven "afknipsels"gebruikte ik om de binnenkanten van de kaarten een beetje gezellig en in stijl aan te kleden. Dat maakt het altijd net even compleet, vind je ook niet? And wow yes! I almost forgot to tell this: The leftover "offcuts" were used to decorate the insides of the cards a bit! That is such a nice way to complete a card, don't you think? Heel erg leuk dat je vandaag bij de Kijkkast bent komen kijken! Heb je vragen? Stel ze mij gerust!

This Prismatico Glass Chandelier in Amethyst is the compact version of the Prismatico collection, featuring 91 blown glass elements and a 65 cm (26") diameter. The design incorporates pencil-shaped glass elements arranged to form a compact barrier, concealing the hardware and offering a seamless glass view. The concave sides of each prism act as a magnifying lens, effectively hiding the hardware and creating the appearance of floating glass elements. Technically, I used light dispersion through refraction rather than the traditional diffraction method. This approach allowed me to avoid the rough or hammered texture typically seen in multiple blown glass elements, resulting in smooth, clean surfaces with crisp edges. This unique technique sets my design apart. Created by Silvio Piattelli in 2021, this collection presents a modern approach to multi-glass fixtures. The hardware is finished in warm satin brass, with glass elements secured by solid brass fittings. The chandelier can be installed with a hardwired stem for flush mounting or with an optional chain for high ceilings. The showcased version features light a special Amethyst glass, not the classical purple deep but a warm Antique Rose color that makes it unique. Other colors are available, including options for transparent elements for increased brightness or taupe for a dramatic effect. See the other listing. With a capacity for 5 bulbs, each up to 60W, the chandelier delivers 3400 lumens, suitable for both bright and subdued lighting needs. The Prismatico chandelier is offered in various sizes to suit different spaces. Specifications: Height: Chandelier canopy and chain 32" (90cm) Chandelier Body: 13 inches (32,5cm) Diameter: 26 inches (65 cm) Weight: 44 lbs (20 Kg) Bulbs: 5x E12/E14 base
