More incredible By the Bay card samples!


Yesterday I shared 5 gorgeous cards my team member Bobby made with the By the Bay suite. See the entire suite here. 

She is our Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team and chose the Seaside Bay bundle for her projects.  She is a very talented stamper and a fabulous photographer too! 

This first card is unbelievable Pillar Pop-Up card and was cased from Rachel Tessman. 

It's so cool!  This card truly shows off this suite and the stunning gold accents in the By the Bay designer paper.  

Can you see the little DSP pillars in the photo below?  The entire upper panel is adhered to two little pillars and they fold flat for mailing too.  I had to make one myself and chose to use the Adorable Owls for my card.  You can see it here on my video.  Measurements too! 

This next card is a Book Binding fold. Her card base is Balmy blue and that pretty shell designer paper is adhered to narrow White layers. 

It also shows off the soft Balmy Blue variegated ribbon that's new in our Spring catalog.  

When making a book binding fold card you will adhere the front left edge to the back so only the large layer on the left opens.  Tip: If adding ribbon you may want to wrap it behind before you secure the scored edge together.  

Measurements:

  • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/2" & 5 1/2"
  • White 4 1/8" X 7/8" and 4 1/8" square
  • DSP 3/4" X 4" and 4" square

See the By the Bay 6 X 6" specialty designer paper here.  It's so beautiful I chose it for one of my January card kits to go.  I have just 3 left; see the kit or PDF here.  

Next is a simple but super pretty card with just a square of the By the Bay designer paper set onto a layer of Gold Foil.  The nice thing about doing this is you can die-cut your elements from the center of the Gold foil and no one can tell!  


Cards with mostly White draw your eye to the main element as you can see here.  She stamped her greeting on the White layer before texturing it with the Timeworn Type embossing folder seen here.  Pool Party is her accent color.  

Measurements:

  • The DSP is 2 7/8" square and the gold foil is 3" square. 
  • The white layer is 4" X 5 1/4" and Pool Party is 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" 

Her next card is an easel card and it shows off the clam shell die in the Seaside Bay bundle.  It is scored and hinges open to reveal a pretty pearl gem inside.  

She cased it from Julia Quinn.  That pretty clam shell and the designer paper layer is what holds the easel up.  So neat!  

Measurements:

  • Balmy Blue 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
  • Sahara Sand easel 5 1/4" X 8" scored at 4 and 6"
  • White – 2 pieces measuring 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
  • DSP one at 5 X 3 3/4" and one at 5" X 1 1/2" 

Next and last is an exquisite card featuring just Sahara Sand, foils and white.  Love the soothing colors here!

This pretty card was cased from Gail Ellis and shows off the textured die-cuts when done in foil. 

Measurements:

  • White 5 1/4" X 4" and 5 1/4" X 2 3/4"
  • DSP squares 1 1/2"
  • Sahara Sand squares 1 5/8" squares & two strips for the torn edge on the shells area 
  • two gold strips 1/2" X 5 1/4"

I hope you've enjoyed seeing the beautiful cards Bobby created to show off the Seaside Bay bundle. She sure did a fantastic job didn't she?

    Today is the last of the swaps from our Flowerbug's September swap event.  I've sure enjoyed sharing their talent with you and hope you've been inspired by them.  If you haven't seen them all, click here and scroll down.  

    First up is a a card by Ginny who featured the Painted Pheasant stamp set seen here.  I just love the colors she achieved on the bird!!

    She inked the stamp with markers; spritzed with water and stamped.  A clever way to get multiple colors on this image.  

    Her card base is Petal Pink with a bit of Soft Succulent and Cajun Craze added too. 

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty card made by Marilyn with the Gathered White bundle seen here.  

    She used the Deckled rectangles & Stylish Shapes dies in addition to the dies in the Gathered White bundle.  Her colors are Crushed Curry with Early Espresso & White.  

    ~~~

    Lastly is Tracey's cute card made with the Cheerful Basket bundle.  There's so much life & texture to this card! 

    Her colors are Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, White & Soft Suede. The embossing folder is called Gingham, the letters are stamped on the Celebrate Everything host DSP and the apples are colored with Blends markers. 

    The 'apples' is made with the adorable Alphabest bundle seen here.  This punch & stamp bundle is so easy to use!  It's photopolymer and allows you to easily and quickly customize your projects.  See it here. 

    I hope you've enjoyed seeing the many incredible swap cards my Flowerbug's created for our September swap.  Here's a photo of them all:

  • Beautiful fall swap cards by my Team!


    This week I'm sharing the incredible swaps my Flowerbug's Team created for our September swap event.  Each month our group has an optional swap event that anyone on my Team can join.  This time it was fall or Halloween themed. 

    Did you know there is a new special on the Starter kit in October? You can become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and enjoy all the perks too!  No worries on holding events or 'selling' if you don't want to. Most of my team are happy shoppers and just enjoy the discount and perks of being a part of the Stampin' Up! family.  Email me here if you'd like to learn more about this.

    Brenda made this gorgeous card with the popular Aspen Tree dies which were unavailable for awhile but they're back but now in low inventory again!  See them here.  

     

    She die-cut the large die from Early Espresso card stock and added a few die-cut leaves, also from the Aspen Tree dies set.  The 'Hello' is from the Hello Harvest stamp set, stamped on a white stitched rectangle die-cut.  

    Her amazing background is done with our Blending Brushes; it's a beautiful way to create a striking horizon for this die.

    Next is a stunning card made by Marla. This card has tons of texture that does not show in the photo. 

    She featured the Texture Chic, Gold & Rose Gold and Distressed Gold designer papers.  The leaves, acorn and grid die-cuts are from the Chic dies seen here The greeting die-cut is from the Floral Gallery dies. It's so pretty!

    Measurements: 

    • Coastal Cabana CS 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" & 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
    • Early Espresso 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Texture Chic DSP 4" X 3" 

    ~~~

    Next is a card made by a couple; Miles & Laura, featuring the Gnomes bundle.  


    Isn't it a fun fall themed card?  The Kindest Gnomes bundle is quite versatile and don't have to be just for Christmas!

    Products used: 

    • DSP – Celebrate Everything host paper (Holiday catalog page 87)
    • Kindest Gnomes bundle seen here
    • Watercolor pencils & linen thread
    • Crushed Curry & White card stock, Black ink

    Next is a sweet card made by Kim; she used the Hello Harvest bundle seen here.  Unfortunately the dies are unavailable now; they should be back around October 24th.

    I have two more fabulous swap cards to share with you from our September Team swaps.  My Flowerbug's are so talented and creative. 

    Paula made a Waterfall card!  These are not difficult but a bit intimidating maybe….  I shared a FB Live video here on how to make one.  

    She featured the Scary Cute bundle seen here as well as the Black & White designs DSP here.  The colors are Black, White & Gorgeous Grape.  

    She also used the Blossoming Happiness dies for her bottom border so she'd have a spot to add the Orchid Oasis 1/8" metallic ribbon for the pull.  

    Measurements: 

    • Black card 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Basic Gray strip 5 1/2" X 1 1/4", waterfall strip is 2 1/2" X 10" scored at 5 1/4", 6", 6 3/4" & 7 1/2"
    • Gorgeous Grape squares are 2 1/2"
    • White squares are 2 1/4"
    • DSP is 4" X 5 1/4"

    Here's a peak of the last inside panel with the die-cut & spooky scene.  She stamped the greeting on the long inside strip.  

    Again, if you want to know how to make one of these waterfall cards check out my video here.

    Next is a colorful Halloween card made by Sharon using this same bundle.  She also added stamps from the Best Witches & Bewitching stamp sets. 

    Her colors include Rich Razzleberry, Parakeet Party, Black & Daffodil Delight.  She used the Deckle dies for her front layers and inside as well.  

    Here's a photo of this cute bundle.  Click on it to see it in my store. 

    I hope you're enjoying these card swaps and getting inspired by them too!  There's lots more to come!!
