Floating Hexagon card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing Floating Hexagon cards, also known as Bandstand card. I have made my card, inspired by a Youtube video from Sue Campfield  using the Wildflower Birthday and Perennial Lavender dsp.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the floating hexagon card you will need:

For the Card Base

Thick Basic White card – 5½” by 4⅛” – scored on the short side at ¾” and 3⅜”
Pretty in Pink card – 5⅜” by 2½” x 2 – for the centre inside and back panels
Perennial Lavender dsp – 5¼” by 2⅜” – for the inside panel
Basic White card – 5¼” by 2⅜” – for the back panel
Window Sheet – 4” by 1⅝”
Pretty in Pink card – 5¼” by ⅝” x 4 – 2 side inside panels and 2 side back panels
Perennial Lavender dsp -5¼” by ½” x 4 – 2 side inside panels and 2 side back panels

For the Pop Up Bands

Thick Basic White card – 5 ½” by 1 ¼” x 2 – scored on the long side at ¾”, 2”, 3 ¾” and 5”
Basic White card – 1⅛” by 2⅝” x 2 – for the centre panel
Basic White card – 1⅛” by1⅛” x 4 – for the side panels 

Scrap Basic White and Gold Foil

 

Card Base – Front

Adhere the larger panel of dsp to the larger Pretty in Pink layer and glue to the card base.

Glue two of the ½” strips of dsp to the ⅜” strips of Pretty in Pink card and adhere to the side panels

 

Pop Up Bands

Emboss the six small pieces of Basic White card – I used the Starstruck Embossing Folder and glue these into position with the larger pieces in the centre and a smaller piece either side.

 

Add a strong glue to the inside of the 2 remaining flaps and adhere to the back of the side flaps, one at the top and one at the bottom.

 

Add the Window Sheet to the back of the pop up bands using Mini Glue Dots.

The birthday cake image from the Wildflower Birthday dsp was added to the Window Sheet with Mini Glue Dots.

 

Using the Birthday Celebration Dies, I die cut the 80 from scrap Gold Foil and glue the numbers to the card front.

The sentiment, from the Cake fancy stamp set was stamped in Blue Berry Bushel ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed down and added to the card front.

 

Card Back

Adhere the remaining panel of Basic White card to the larger Pretty in Pink layer and glue to the back of the card, decorate with images from the Wildflower Birthday dsp.

 

Glue the last two ½” strips of dsp to the ⅜” strips of Pretty in Pink card and adhere to the side panels

A trio of Adhesive-backed Sequins finished the card.
