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?

  • Beautiful Plaid card featuring the Grow with Love bundle


    I shared this pretty card on a recent video.  I made it for our Team swap which had a plaid theme. 

    It features the Grow with Love bundle seen here.  My colors include Basic Beige, Old Olive and Lost Lagoon – taken from the pretty Timeless Plaid layer. 

    The basil and stamped frame are all done with the Grow with Love dies.  The greeting is from the Mixed Label dies. I did sponge the edges and the leaves with Lost Lagoon ink.  The herb images in this set are so pretty and have Stampin' Up!'s distinktive style which shows off multiple hues with one inking.  The coordinating dies cut off the herb names; a great option if you do not want to include them.  

    The pretty embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here. I'm so sad it's retiring!  This textured piece is made from our 2-toned Olive 12 X 12" card stock. When embossing this white core paper the texture reveals the white core just enough to enhance the texture.  I could have sanded it to reveal even more texture but I did not.  

    I created a free project sheet for this pretty card.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Grow with Love Plaid card 


    And here's the video tutorial for this card and a super-duper fun fold card:

  • Another sweet card with Wildflower Birthday & Labeled with Love


    Here's one more card featuring the beautiful Wildflower Birthday specialty DSP. 

    I changed up just a few things from the card I shared yesterday to make a totally new fun fold card.  Here I used Soft Sea Foam as my card base with Pretty in Pink and Blueberry Bushel accents.  

    I used the Labeled with Love stamp set & coordinating punch.  Unfortunately this stamp set just sold out; it was on the Last Chance/retired list. 

    Here's what it looks like opened.  

    Measurements:

    • card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Blueberry Bushel 3 1/4" X 2 5/8"
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP – left panel 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", cakes panel 3" X 2 3/8"

    And here's the video below. Besides this card I created another similar card with just a few adjustments to the original.

  • Easy Wildflower Birthday fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I'm excited to share this card with you today.  

    It's a type of Z-fold but different than I've seen before.  With two quick score lines you have an easy & unique card fold! I love how this card gives you three ways to show off our coordinating DSP.  

    I featured the Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper on these pretty cards.  It's filled with floral & birthday prints with splashes of gold foil.  It also comes with 2 sheets of die-cut elements as shown below which allows for super quick creating.  See it here. 

    I still have a few of my pre-cut kits to go available with this pretty DSP or the PDF tutorial. See it here. 

    Here's how the cards look fully opened.  For greetings I used the So Sincere which is retiring & Simply Said which is carrying over.

    This stamp set just sold out but the Labeled with Love punch is carrying over into the new catalog.
