Happy happy happy Thursday my friends! I got up bright and early this morning to create today’s TEACH ME THAT project and I must say, for only having 3 sips of coffee when I started, it turned out pretty darn cute!
I am calling this a FLOATING IMAGE CARD because as you can see, the image just kind of “floats” in the window.
Are you ready to learn how to do it? It’s SO easy to do and I’m going to show you step-by-step how it’s done. Here we go!
FLOATING IMAGE CARD
HERE ARE THE SUPPLIES YOU NEED:
- 11” x 4 ¼”, score and fold at 5 ½”
- 4″ x 5 ¼” cardstock or Designer Paper
- Stampin’ Trimmer
- Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape
- Begin by trimming off 1 ½” from the card base.
- Trim another 1 ½” from the card base.
- Line up one of the pieces inside the card. Where you place this piece should be determined on where you want your focal image. Do you want it on the left, right or center?
- Place Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape at the top of the strip.
- Fold the top of the card over and press.
- It should look like this.
- Place Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape at the bottom of the strip.
- Line up the remaining 1 ½” strip with the bottom of the card and adhere.
- It should look like this.
- You want the inside to have some contrast. This helps give the illusion the image is floating. You can use cardstock or Designer Series Paper.
Now you’re ready to create a card using the technique. Here are the measurements for my card but get creative with your project.
- Soft Suede – 11” x 4 ¼”, score and fold at 5 ½”
- Coffee Break Designer Series Paper – 4” x 5 ¼”
- Pumpkin Pie – 3″ x 6″
- Very Vanilla – 2 ¼” x 3″
- Old Olive – 1″ x 2 ½”

Connie, I love this technique to make a fun card. Love your cute card. Thanks for all the pictures and great instructions on how to make this great card. I have made something similar using an acetate sheet but not with the vertical piece as support. This looks easier than using acetate. Thanks for getting up extra early to get this on your blog. Enjoy your day!
