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?

  • Crane of Fortune Split Diagonal card with video; a great way to show off your Designer Paper


    I love this card layout!  It is an easy way to show off a peak of your pretty designer paper!  I'm calling it a Diagonal Split card.  

    I created this during a Facebook Live on Tuesday.  Every week at 11 am CT I share a few projects to inspire YOU to stamp.  Follow me here on Facebook.  Click here to watch the video; there are three projects! 

    The card base is Gray Granite with white & gold accents.  I used the Crane of Fortune bundle seen here.  This bundle is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog; it will retire at the end of June.  

    Here are the measurements so you can try your hand at this card layout.  

    I love the gorgeous dies in this bundle.  You can see it here.

  • This quick Fun Fold design makes the most of your double-sides Designer Paper!


    Have you ever made a card that surprised you with how easy it was and amazed you with it's simple beauty?  This beautiful card did that for me: 

    I chose the Symbols of Fortune suite which includes the Crane of Fortune stamp set and the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP that is on sale right now at 50% off!

    Other products include the Hippo & Friend dies (retired now), the Layering Circles dies and the 1/4" white seam binding ribbon.

    Here are the simple measurements: 

    • Black card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/4" scored at 1" on the 5 1/4" side 
    • DSP 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip & 4" X 5 1/4" for the front flap
    • White inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

    See how it shows off the other side of your Designer Paper?  I love it!  Think how many pretty cards you could make with this layout and use up your designer paper too! 

    See the Symbols of Fortune suite here; it will retire when the list comes out at the end of May.  

    Here's another version with the new Hues of Happiness designer paper and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.  

    My card base is Granny Apple Green and the greeting is stamped twice; once on the Label Me Lovely punched piece and again on a strip of Melon Mambo CS. 

    This paper is so gorgeous I decided to feature it for one of my Card kits to go this month.  See the PDF tutorial option here. This fun fold card is included in the tutorial!

  • New Product Sneak Peak; the incredible Sun Prints suite!


    Today I'm sharing a pretty card made with two new In Colors, a new stamp & die bundle, embossing folder, ribbon and Designer Paper!  Whew! 

    The new In Color I used here is called Orchid Oasis.  The greeting and one fern image are stamped with another new In Color called Starry Night.  They coordinate beautifully!  

    This card is a sketch my Flowerbug's Team is currently creating with.  We have bi-monthly challenges of sketches or color combos with prize patrol.  I thought this sketch would work well with some of our brand new product. 

    The Nature's Prints stamp set comes with beautiful ferns, leaves, a flower, an ink splat and gorgeous mixed font greetings. It will be super popular!  In fact I may feature the Sun Prints Designer Paper in a card kit to go in May; I love it so much!  

    It's hard to see the fern background on the White layer here.  I sponged a bit of Orchid Oasis ink onto the textured fern CS.  I wrapped the new 1/8" Orchid Oasis metallic trim around it and added a bow on the right; just like the sketch above.  The white embellishments are the Classic Matte dots in the current Jan-June mini catalog. 

    You can see a peak of the pretty Sun Prints Designer Paper in the background.  It is filled with botanical prints in Navy, Pacific Point, Starry Sky & Gray Granite.  I'll share more projects featuring this suite next week.  

    One of our favorite perks of being a Demonstrator is getting to see AND order new products early. Did you know you can get these new products early? Add any of the New Catalog items from our big pre-order list to your Starter Kit.  You'll also get a stack of new catalogs free to share!  It's $99 and you can pick out $125 in product with FREE SHIPPING!  Click here to get yours.
