Floating Panel DSP card

Floating Panel DSP card . The theme in June for the Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop is to use Designer Series Papers. The papers I used is from the Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection on pages 54 – 55 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. They have the 2024-26 In Color palette in its Unbounded Beauty 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.

An idea for this month’s theme using DSP had been buzzing in my head for a while. So I hope you like it!

Welcome to June’s Tech 4 Stamper’s Blog Hop.

The Tech 4 Stampers is a monthly subscription group run by Louise Sims. She mentors and enables members to understand IT jargon and equips them with a fountain of Technical knowledge to build or manage their own websites. It takes the mystery out of “tech” and I’ve certainly grown in confidence thanks to her expertise, patience and guidance. Not only that, I’ve met and made new friends with my fellow “Techs” and love the camaraderie within the group.

How to create a floating panel card with DSP

Floating panels

1. Cut two squares of Window Sheet large enough to die cut the largest and second largest Stylish Shapes Circles.
2. Select three patterns of Unbounded Beauty DSP and cut them in ½” strips and ⅝” strips.
3. Apply dry adhesive e.g., Stampin’ Seal + to back of strips. It is not advisable to use wet adhesive when working with acetate/window sheets. Adhere these strips to the window sheet by alternating the strips with ⅛” gap in between each strip.
4. Die cut the window sheet squares with the largest circle and next to largest circle.
5. Align and stagger circles as shown.

Card base and mat layers

1. Summer Splash card base : 4 ⅛” x 11 ½” (10.5 cm x 29 cm). Fold in half.
