Floating Frame Card Ideas using the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set
About a year or so ago, Floating Frame cards were all the rage. They've slipped in popularity, but they are as gorgeous looking as they always were. So, I decided to go back to this card making technique that's an oldie (but not that old) but a goodie. 

I'm also hopping with the Stampin' Friends today. I love hopping with these amazing card designers. If you've been hopping along, you've joined me from Lisa Ann Bernard's page. If you haven't gone through the whole list of designers, I hope you'll hop back to the beginning of the list and Jo Blackman's blog when you are done here. 
Since the theme for this month's hop is Giving Thanks, I have some thank you cards and a wrap for a box of Merci chocolates to share with you today. All of these hand stamped projects feature the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. ​So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I've created a video for you with complete instructions on how to create this covered chocolate box with a floating frame top.

Happy Day Card Design

I just couldn't seem to stop making floating frame cards. For the previous card and gift box, I had stamped the sunflowers with Soft Suede ink. For this card and the next one, I stamped the flowers with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. This card uses the center piece cut from the next card. I also created a thin white frame using two of the Stitched Rectangle dies, one being one size smaller than the other.
