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?

  • Grab the May’s Paper Pumpkin kit by Wednesday, May 10th – Exploring In Colors!


    I'm looking forward to the May Paper Pumpkin kit this month.  It looks like it's full of nature themed cards.  

    I love that they give us a hint about what we'll receive each month.  This lets subscribers decide if they want to get it, order an extra or opt out.  I spy wood rounds, flowers and pinecones.

    This May kit includes:

    • All the supplies you need to create 9 card, 3 each of 3 designs, plus 9 coordinating envelopes.
    • A 7-piece all-occasion stamp set that celebrates good friends and great adventures!

    What a fantastic deal!!  I always get these; the value is incredible!  18 cards and 18 envelopes for just $10. To me it looks like all these pretty cards need is a greeting to finish them off. See them here. 

    It's one of the perks of being a subscriber.  They offer us some fun add-ons now & then.  I also like that we get to order kit refills if and when they become available. Refills of the monthly kits are usually $11 and include everything in the original kit except the ink spot & stamps. 

    Want to receive a crafty kit each month?  Here's the link to subscribe.

  • Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog


    I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator. 

    Here's one of my recent projects: 

    I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace. 

    My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.   

    I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge.  It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed.  Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel. 

    Measurements are: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
    • left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
    • front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
    • Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside)  & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
    • Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
    • Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”  

     

    All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog.  If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5.  If you order from me online first I'll send it free!  

    Remember that my new catalog designer paper share is still open for a limited time.  Get 80 sheets of 6 X 6" DSP – all from the new catalog for just $28.50 plus shipping.  Reserve your spot here.

  • Crafting with You; one more way to use it!


    During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog. 

    This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it.  I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp.  I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.  

    I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.  

    I shared the following photo last week to show you the newest In Colors but since I made a video showing you how to make this card I'm sharing it again now.  

    Which color is your favorite?  From left to right – Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve & Boho Blue.
