You’ll be using this card tutorial year round….just change the sentiments for whatever occasion you need a greeting card for!

Floating Frame Christmas Card – Details
Like you, I love to try new techniques. The floating frame card got my attention a few months ago and uses Press N’ Seal to hold the images in place. In all honesty, I struggled. Every time I tried to secure my image using the Press N’ Seal, they would rip while removing the plastic wrap. I tried again and again, each time applying less pressure. Although the tearing improved, there were still small areas where the color would lift. I even attempted using designer paper. Same results so I benched the idea. I can’t in good conscious teach a project that I myself can’t master.
I recently revisited this technique. And guess what? I found an easier way – and it works flawlessly!
Instead of Press N’ Seal, I used Post-It-Note flags. I purchased mine on Amazon but you can find them at any big box or office supply store. You’ll get a good look at them in today’s video. I have used these for several years to hold my dies to the cutting mats when die cutting. They work famously and a small investment for die cutting sanity.
The best part of the floating frame technique is that it’s a 2 for 1 project. The die cut opening for the frame leaves you a solid negative to be used on a second card. The die cut frame leaves the images only within the perimeter of the frame but the negative provides the images towards the center.
