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?

    I've been sharing projects Annette made as part of my Team's Artist of the Month series.  My Flowerbug's team members have a chance to opt in to create projects featuring a stamp set or bundle they choose.  They get to keep the product for creating project for our group.  

    She chose the Bewitching Bundle from our 2022 Holiday catalog seen here. 

    She made a slimline card from Gray Granite cardstock and added three of our newest In colors.

    She stamped each one in Black Memento ink and colored each one with Blends markers.  They're popped up on stitched White squares from the Stylish Shapes dies.  

    She also added trim from the Silver Mesh ribbon.  Love the spiders hanging in each frame!  

    ~~~

    Next up is a sweet treat bag with Starry Sky.  You can find these bags in our 2022 Holiday catalog on page 35. These bags have star cutouts that make it easy to add color by inserting a piece of paper behind.  Here she added some 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper.  

    She tied the bag closed with Silver Mesh and 1/8" Starry Sky metallic ribbons.  Love the many rhinestones on the hat!  

    ~~~

    I hope you enjoyed all of her projects. If you missed them, click on the heading of this blog and scroll back to see each one.

    She showcased the Bewitching bundle wonderfully!!

    After seeing these fabulous projects I had to get this bundle!

  • Amazing Bewitching Bundle projects; WOW!


    I previously shared some of the incredible projects Annette made here and here  She was our Artist of the Month in August; as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She chose to use the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

    First is a card that reminds you of  'candy corn'.  

    Details:

    • She used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry & White CS – texturing them with the Timeworn Type 3D folder.  
    • The scalloped square is from the Scalloped Contours dies. She colored in the hat & boots with Blends markers.  
    • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 
    • The glittery hat band is the new Glitter Washi tape seen here

    ~~~

    Next is a fun card made with Parakeet Party, Black & White. 

    Black & White with a 'pop' of color can be so striking!  The circles are from the Layering circles dies; the stitched background is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies.  She added a band of glitter paper on the hat – from the 2022-24 In Color 6" Glimmer paper.  

    ~~~

    And lastly today is another Black & White with a pop of color – this time with Real Red. 

    Details:

    • Painted Texture is the embossing folder used on the White panel. 
    • The Black & White DSP is from the Black & White Designers DSP in the Holiday catalog
    • She colored the hat with Blends markers and popped it up with dimensionals.  
    • I love the knot of Silver Mesh ribbon on the hat!!
    • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 

    Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle soon!
