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?

  • Easy Kite Delight Fun Fold card with video & measurements


    I cannot believe I forgot to share this neat card!  We made it at my April card clubs; it's a fun fold featuring the Kite Delight stamp set & the Pattern Party designer paper. 

    This stamp set is on the Last Chance list and is on sale at just $12.60 instead of $18. 

    The color combination includes Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Black & White.  The kites are colored in with Blends markers and the Cloud Punch adds a fun detail for the greeting banner.  


    Here's how it opens up to reveal the other side of your double sided designer paper.  The Pattern Party DSP is retired now; it was in the annual catalog and free for hosts. 

    As you can see I changed the cards up just a bit.  I swapped the yellow kits and used two different greetings too.  

    Measurements: 

    • Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", layer 2 5/8" X 3 7/8"
      • DSP 4" X 10 3/4" scored at 3" & 8 1/4"
      • White die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5" 
      • Yellow greeting strip 3/4" X 3 3/4"

    I shared this card during last week's FB Live.  Watch it here and see all three Kite Delight cards I made.

  • Slim Sayings bundle is so versatile!


    Here are a few more samples featuring the Slimline Sayings bundle that is retiring this month.  See yesterday's cards here. 

    This first card features the Hues of Happiness designer paper. 

    The pretty ombre design in the Hues of Happiness DSP is beautiful with the beautiful die-cut design.  I used the Tailor Made Tags for my greeting layers and stamped the 'one' on a piece of So Saffron to make it pop. 

    Here's the Slim Sayings stamp set; I love this greeting set so much. The variety of fonts and occasions are so versatile.  

    The card on the right below is simply three colors of card stock – Navy, Soft Succulent and Just Jade.  I cut out one in each color to be able to make 3 cards!  Just mix & match to fill in the center with the chevron pieces. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
    • die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • DSP 8 3/8" X 3 3/8"

    Here are some wonderful samples from Stampin' Up! with this unique bundle. See it here; but don't forget that the dies are sold separately at 50% off right now.

  • Fabulous card made with the Slim Card dies; they’re 50% off!


    This is one of the cards we made at my May card clubs. It features the Slim Sayings bundle in the retiring Jan-June catalog by Stampin' Up!  

    However, right now the dies are on sale at 50% off with the Last Chance list. See everything on sale here.  

    My card base is White and I added a piece of Sun Prints Designer Paper behind the chevron die-cut.  Scroll down for measurements and the video too. 

    Did you know we have Slimline Envelopes that perfectly match these dies and a typical slim line card?  They carried over into the new Annual Catalog too.  They come in 3 colors; White, Smoky Slate & Soft Succulent. See them here.  

    I used the Slim Saying stamp set along with the Nature's Prints bundle from the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog.  See the Slim Saying stamp set here and the Nature's Prints bundle here. 

    At club they chose either a birthday card or a graduation card; it works for both. And some made theirs into a wedding or anniversary card! 

    The Slim Saying stamp set & Slim Card dies are both retiring and are while supplies last.  I'll be sharing more cards with this bundle today on my FB Live here at 11 am CT and also this week right here on my blog.  

    Measurements:
    White card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8", White for die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2", greeting 4 1/2" X 5/8"
    • Soft Succulent for greeting layer 3/4" X 4 1/2" & scrap for leaf die-cut
    • Smoky Slate scrap for fern die-cut
    • DSP 8 3/8" X 3 3/8"
