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?

  • Apple Harvest Fun Fold card


    We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September.  I love the bright colors paired with Black! 

    The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black.  As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms.  And inside the card is a single apple. 

    The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here. 

    All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet.  I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

    This card fold is super simple.  Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.  

    Measurements:

    • Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
    • Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
    • White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside

  • A new fun fold card with This Birthday Piggy; join me Live tonight!


    We're making this cool fun fold card tonight on my Stamp with Me live here on Facebook. It's called a 'pillar' fold card.  Join in and watch or prep your pieces and stamp along with me Live. 

    I'm featuring the This Birthday Piggy bundle seen here.  You can get them separately also, but you won't save the 10% then.

    The stamp set is in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog seen here.   These coordinating dies are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here.   

    The side pillars fold in toward the middle so it fits in a standard A2 size envelope.  

    My colors include Polished Pink, Parakeet Party, White & Black.  The designer paper on the sides is our Black & White designs seen here. 

    I used our Blends markers to color the images – Polished Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Basic Gray & Parakeet Party.  

    See those neat confetti pieces?  Those are actually 'windows' die-cut in the White CS so the Pink CS shows through.  They're part of the Playful Piggy dies. Same with the grass, banner and pennants.  The stars are punched with the Witch Hat punch. 

    Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT.
