I stamped the cake stand in the Pebbled Path ink above the sentiment.

The layers of the rainbow cake were then stamped starting with Daffodil Delight, then Calypso Coral, Petunia Pop, Granny Apple Green and Azure Afternoon inks. The stamped panel was then glued to the Pebbled Path layer.

A floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge made using the So Refreshing stamp set and dies by Stampin' Up!

So Refreshing Floating Panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on June 6, 2023May 29, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. Love fun folds and today I am sharing a floating panel card made using the So Refreshing stamp set and inspired by Susan Campfield – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn3Lrs-aNu4.

The colours used in this card are:

To recreate the so refreshing card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 2 1/16” and 4⅛”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅝” by 1⅞” x 2
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 3” by 2” – scored at ¾”, 1½”, 2¼”
Scrap Basic White card

I folded and burnished the score lines on the Thick Basic White card base and glued the panels of Stargazing dsp to the card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I die cut rectangles from 5” by 3½” and 4” by 3” panels of Basic White card. I trimmed off the left side of the larger rectangle. Using a Blending Brush, I added Berry Burst ink, lightly around the edges of both of the scalloped rectangles. The sentiment was then stamped at the top of the smaller rectangle in Berry Burst ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The outline of the jug was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card and added the infill in Lemon Lime Twist ink. The glass was stamped next in Pebbled Path ink and added the infill using the same Lemon Lime Twist ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The outline limes, outline leaves and slice of lime were all stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and the infill of the leaves and limes in Lemon Lime Twist ink all on Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The spray of flowers was stamped on scrap Basic White card, the stem and leaves in Granny Apple Green, outline flowers in Berry Burst ink and infill flowers in Bubble Bath ink. I stamped an extra flower and trimmed it out using Scissors.

The two scalloped rectangles were then decorated with all the die cut pieces.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The larger rectangle with the cut down side was then inserted onto the back panel. I didn’t do this correctly………. I didn’t actually watch Susan’s video to the end as I thought I knew what she had done……….. haven’t we all made that mistake. What I should have done was fold in the two outer pieces of the 3” by 2” panel and place them, folded side down, straddling the scoreline and adhering them with a strong adhesive. The rectangle panel should then be glued to the left had side.

The smaller rectangle is then added to the front piece with glue only on the left side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The card was completed using a scattering of Festive Pearls.
