For tonight's projects I have used Sahara Sand as the base for two Floating Cards.
The first card uses the Brewed For You Bundle.
I stamped all of the glasses images on Basic White card stock.

The images for the front of the card were cut out with the Brewed For You Dies and for inside the card the images were cut using square Stylish Shapes Dies.

For the second card I used the By The Bay Specialty DSP for the front. The shell on the front is from the Seashells Dies and Embossing Folder. I used the Gilded Leafing Embellishment to add texture and sparkle to the shell. The leaf sprig behind the shell is Distressed Gold Paper embossed and cut with the Seashells Embossing Folder and Dies.

Inside the card I heat embossed a couple of shells in Gold Embossing Powder and stamped the greetings in Sahara Sand.

As the Brewed For You card did not stay closed I mounted the center shell on the second card on a band around the card instead of attaching it to the front of the card. I just realised that neither of these cards has a greeting on the front, oh well, easily added when I have someone to sent them to.

Two very different cards with the same base colour, shows what a versatile neutral Sahara Sand is. I probable don't use this colour as much as I should, Crumb Cake is my usual go to neutral.
All of the products used to make these cards are available though me online Stampin' Up! website.

It's time to head to the next stop on our blog hop. I am looking forward to seeing what my very talented team member Tina Gillespie has to share with us.
Next we'll be back featuring Shaded Spruce. Only a few weeks left of this year's Catalogue blog hop as the new catalogue starts on the 2nd of May. Very exciting!
See you next week.
Happy stamping,
Rachel

Raschel, your floating cards are both wonderful. Such a lovely surprise when you open them up. I really like the way you've made Sahara Sand look so different with the different colour combinations.
ReplyDeleteWow, your cards are fantastic! The pop up elements inside will be a wonderful surprise for the recipients.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely same but different cards Rachel. The surprise on opening each of them is very effective. Theresa
ReplyDeleteWhat great cards, Rachel. I particularly love the sea shell one with the gold gilding, it is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteRachel your cards look stunning with the surprise pop up bits. Both cards showcase the different colours really well.
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards, Rachel. One colour card base - two totally different cards! Love the sea shell one with gold accents, and the pop ups are a lovely surprise on the inside.
ReplyDeleteI love the fun fold you have used to highlight Sahara Sand as a great neutral colour Rachel - I should use it more often too. Great cards.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this style of card before Rachel, the pop ups really do add an element of surprise. A great idea to share two different versions, but the elegance of the second card has my vote this week.
ReplyDeleteRachel your floating cards are fabulous. My favourite is the shell one but I do love that you chose such bright contrasting colours for your first card. The same fun fold but two very different cards. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSahara Sand is a great neutral card base, and you've used it beautifully on both of your cards, Rachel. I especially like how the colours pop on the first card; what a great colour combo!
