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?

    Here is how Stampin' Up! describes the kit: 

    While the cellophane bags in this kit are food-safe, the packaging is sized for both treats and gifts. Have fun with the festive designs of each box—a sweet snowman, a tree with all the trimmings, or a playful pile of presents—and surprise your friends and family with treat and gift packaging that even Santa would be jealous of!

    • The Kit contains enough supplies to create nine treat packages—three each of three designs—and nine food-safe bags. 
    • This all-inclusive kit includes printed die cuts, die-cut boxes, cellophane treat bags, adhesive, and more!
    • Includes an exclusive stamp set and a Classic Stampin’ Spot

  • Nuts About Squirrels fun fold card with Stamparatus video


    We made this cute card at my October card clubs.  See the video towards the bottom of this post. 

    It features the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in the Holiday catalog.  Click here to see it. 

    My colors include Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Vanilla & Pear Pizzazz.  See the tag?  We stamped directly on the die-cut tag using Soft Suede ink. This tag is from the Pretty Pillow Box dies on page 9 of the Holiday catalog. 

    Measurements:

    • Soft Suede 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" plus 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
      Pumpkin Pie 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
      Very Vanilla 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" for front & inside
      Cork paper – scrap for die-cut tag (Pretty Pillow Box dies)

    The Stamparatus made stamping the squirrel images so easy & perfectly placed too! See that here.  It's the best stamp positioning tool out there!

    Watch this video below for lots of tips.

    I have a few more Eden's Garden cards to share today.  This first one features the stamps & dies.  I know many of you are loving the Ever Eden Designer paper but the stamps & dies are also lovely!  

    This card is one of the cards in my free 4 card class this month.  Anyone who places an order over $50 receives a pre-cut card class & PDF.  The kit does not include stamping but everything is die-cut for you; even the bow is done!

    Do you see the texture on the large Soft Succulent layer?  That is from the die itself; not an embossing folder.  You can see how that's done in the video shown here. 

    I used Evening Evergreen & Cherry Cobbler ink and the Eden's Garden stamp set. 

    The next card features the pretty Ever Eden Designer Paper as well as the stamps & dies seen here.  It's a unique layout with just a few layered 2" squares, a stamped background and the pretty greeting label die-cuts. 

    Note the layering effect on these dies.  I share how to do that on the video link above.  

    Did you know you can get the entire collection in your Starter kit?  Get your customized kit at over 40% off!  You actually get $50 free product right now instead of our usual $25.  And shipping is free as well! It's a fabulous deal and a great way to get a bunch of Stampin' Up! products.
