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?

  • You Are Amazing cards with Blending Brush ideas


    Last week on my Tuesday Live I shared three cards featuring the You Are Amazing stamp set & the new blending brushes.  I've always loved sponging and these new brushes are incredible!  They are so popular they are currently on back-order; but you can still order them! 

    This cute stamp set is on page 7 of the Spring catalog.  Click here to see it.  It coordinates with the You Are Amazing card kit.

    Join me here for my weekly 'Facebook Live on Tuesday, February 16th here at 11 am CT. 

    On this first card I used the Happy Dies to create a colorful title banner. 

    This was my favorite and also loved by many others too.  I created a few 'star stencils' with the Stitched Stars dies and sponged in the windows.  

    I added a few Artistry Blooms sequins for extra bling. 

    And on this card I sponged on the True Love polka dot paper.  It was Black & White but is now two-toned!

  • Use Sketches for inspiration!


    I've recently started sharing sketches on my Flowerbug's Team page and this is one of the firsts: 

    I think it's a fun layout and quick too.  I decided to use the designer paper from the Boho Indigo product medley.  I love these tones of blue!   

    The card stock is Misty Moonlight and White. Below is a list of products I used. Click on each to see them in my store.

  • Welcome cards made with scraps & Field & Flower DSP


    This week I've been sharing cards made with this beautiful Flower & Field DSP; it's free with any $50 order in February during Sale-a-Bration See it here. 

    I created a colorful group of cards for my new Team members last week.  I had a bunch of random pieces in the pack of Designer Paper and I decided to challenge myself to use mostly extras & just create! 

    Look at the fun colors and layouts!  I grabbed my bags of scraps and a pile of White CS strips and just played.  Have you ever done this? 

    This Flower & Field DSP (seen here) has so many different color combos in it; all with a Black background.  Honestly at first I wasn't sure I liked it. However I love to accent with black; it seems to make a card stand out beautifully.  Looking at these cards now I just love i

    This Designer Paper is free with any $50 order this month.  But it ends February 28th!  Plus you never know if they could run out.  So don't wait!  

    If you have a nice size wish list I hope you'll consider purchasing the Stampin' Up! Starter kit.  It is such a great deal and no one on my Team has ever regretted it!  In fact most say they wish they'd done it sooner!

    While I'm very, very grateful for the $100 orders I'm getting I cannot help think that the order could be a Starter Kit purchase!  Free shipping and 20% off future orders.  

    Did you know?

    In the Starter kit you get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), a free past Paper Pumpkin kit ($21) with no shipping on any of this ($20.35).

    So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What?  Amazing!
