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?

  • Multiple amazing ‘WOW’ cards featuring the Legendary Ride bundle!


    Each month in our Flowerbug's Team a member is featured as 'Artist of the Month' and shows off a bundle or suite of projects.  In February it was Jane and she chose to use the Legendary Ride bundle.  She did an amazing and creative group of cards!

    Take a look at these incredible samples:


    Do you see the orange racks holding up the bike?  She used the 'seat' dies to create it.  She also sponged on them a bit so they were 'well used'!  Ha!  

    The background with clouds and the checkered bottom are all from the Ready to Ride DSP.  Look at the detail on her motorcycle!  The dies are incredibly detailed. 

    This next card is a center step card.  It also features multiple pieces of the Ready to Ride designer paper. It's hard to see in the photo but she die-cut the seat from the Black foil in the DSP.  

    She sure made the most of this unique Legendary Ride bundle by Stampin' Up!  You can see it here online. 

    This next card features a pocket greeting on the front. You can pull it up and remove it to use as a bookmark. She textured the front panel with the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder seen here.  Perfect texture for this guy card.  

    She added color to the Ready to Ride floral paper above using a Sweet Sorbet Blends marker. She really showed off this unique designer paper on her projects.  I LOVE the shiny black foil accents.  See it here.

    Next is a great guy birthday card that doesn't feature a motorcycle at all. She added elements from the He's the Man DSP in the Annual Caalog.  

    And last is this neat card with a road map and bike tread with a more colorful bike.  See the Adhesive Backed studs on the upper corners?  They pair wonderful with this suite.  See them here. 


    Thanks for sharing your creativity with us Jane! Your creativity & talent is amazing!

  • Sweet Citrus; in a Lime version too!


    The Sweet Citrus bundle can make any citrus fruit you'd like.  I've even seen people make coconuts! 

    I've shared three other cards featuring oranges, grapefruit and lemons but today I'm sharing my 'Lime' version.  

    I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Granny Apple Green. I cased it from a card made by Maheswari Rajaguru.  I think these colors are stunning together. 

    That pretty texture on the card front is made with the new Basic Embossing Folders 3D seen here They're in a 3 pack and in our Online Exclusives product line seen here. 

    Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once?  You can use the dies and folder separately as well but together it's faster and saves a step.*Watch in the video below to see how it's done. 

    I also show how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus.  Perfect every time! 

    Here's a photo of the inside: 

    Below is a photo of all 4 cards I shared in my recent video featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Oranges, limes, grapefruit and lemons!  This bundle is a true gem!
