Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! Today is my Father-in-law’s birthday and I know he loves planes! So, I am sharing My Floating Hexagon Card using the Adventurous Sky Bundle by Stampin’ Up! This bundle is retiring and if it was on your wish list, now is the time to get it!
I received a swap card from another Demonstrator recently and she used a Half Hexagon Pop Up Box Card using the Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection, but I thought the Adventurous Sky Bundle would be a fun alternative. When I was researching this fun fold, I discovered that another Demonstrator used this Bundle but made it floating with Window Sheets. So, I combine the two ideas and made my card as a Floating Hexagon Box Card (could also be called a Bandstand Pop Up Card). Don’t you just love all the inspiration out there!
The Details of My Floating Hexagon Card
For my card, I decided to use the cloud DSP for the front and side panels and the airplane DSP for the inside panels. I knew that I wanted to use the DSP also for the body of the large die cut plane. I love how it looked on another card that I made (I will post this card at the end). It gives the plane a texture like it was rivetted together.
Next, I fussy cut two planes from the DSP. I wanted one of them to be pulling the Happy Birthday banner along the bottom of my card.
To create my scene, I used Tear & Tape Adhesive to hold the Window Sheets in place. I tried liquid glue, but it wasn’t strong enough. Then, I decorated them with Boho Blue stamped clouds using liquid glue and then dimensionals for the clouds on top. I added the large plane that I built with liquid glue to the centre window panel with dimensionals.
The finishing touch was to add another cloud and a fussy cut plane to the top of the panels to balance out the plane and banner below.
I placed a Basic White piece on the back for the message.
