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?

  • Sweet Citrus video; a Grapefruit version with optional gift card


    We made this CUTE fun fold card at my February Card Clubs and it was a big hit!  Everyone loved the fresh color combo and how cool the textured fruit images are.  

    I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya and Granny Apple Green.  You can sure see the texture in the photo above.  Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once?  It's super cool and saves a step. 

    I show how in the video along with how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus.  Perfect every time! 

    The card is a bit different in that the lower panel can be left open to add a gift card or money into.  Or seal it up; your choice.  

    Card measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4" & 9 1/2"
    • White 4" X 3 1/2" for textured front, stamped front panel is 2 7/8" X 4", inside is 4" X 3 1/2"
    • Granny Apple Green 3" X 4 1/8"
    • Pale Papaya strip 4 1/4" X 3/4"
    • Dandy Designs DSP 4" X 1 1/4"

  • Sweet Citrus bundle with a Hybrid embossing folder; you can texture & cut at the same time!


    In a recent video I shared multiple projects featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle.  Every card I make with this set is my favorite!  How can that be?

    Let's start with colors – they're Balmy Blue with Daffodil Delight and Garden Green.  So fresh and spring-like.  

    The designer paper is called Country Gingham seen here. 

    The images and greetings are all from the Sweet Citrus stamp set. It comes in a bundle with dies AND a Hybrid embossing folder. See it here

    What is a Hybrid embossing folder?  It's one that allows you to cut AND texture at the same time.  You can use it the usual way as well.  But using the die & folder together eliminates a step.  I show how it's done in the video here. 

    There are many reasons to get this bundle but the greetings are a big one.  So perfect and coordinate nicely with the stamp theme.  

    I shared lots of samples in the video; I hope you watch it!  Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on YouTube here.

  • The Hello, Irresistible card kit to go is here!


    I had to use the new Hello, Irresistible designer paper for my March card kit to go.  It's absolutely gorgeous with fresh spring colors plus deep, rich tones too.  

    The colors include Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Soft Sea Foam.

    *Did you see that Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock are included?  Stampin' Up! shared that we ARE getting a Color Refresh with the new Annual Catalog in May. We'll know which colors are retiring on March 29th.  

    4 of the 5 designs are fun folds in this kit including an explosion and a shaker card.  It was difficult to get a good photo.  But they are gorgeous in real life!


    This pre-cut kit to go includes the 10 pre-cut cards & all elements, 1/2 pkg. of the new Hello, Irresistible DSP, a share of White Glittered ribbon and In Color Opal Rounds. The PDF tutorial is free!  That's $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28. Reserve your kit to go here.    *This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive. 

    Or choose the PDF only for $15 here. 

    Be sure to opt in by March 19th to get this kit to go. The PDF will be emailed to you immediately after payment from my Shopify site.  The pre-cut card kit & products will be delayed due to the DSP is out of stock.  It will be sent to you in early April. 

    You will need a paper trimmer (to cut your new DSP), adhesives, greeting images and a few ink pads.  I used the Irresistible Blooms stamp set for greetings but you can substitute others if needed. 

    Add on the Irresistible Blooms stamp set or bundle at 10% off!  Message me here for that option and I'll send you an invoice for it all. 

    I have another new kit to go available in March – the Rain or Shine fun fold card kit.  See that here.   Get both and save $$.*Add on any other card kit with it and save on shipping costs!  Go here to see them all.
