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?

  • Santa Suit candy bar pull-up treat with measurements


    I shared this cute candy bar treat on my Tuesday FB Live video this week. Need a last minute treat or stocking stuffer??

    When you pull the ribbon it brings the candy bar out of the 'suit'.  So fun! And quite easy to make too.  It fits a standard full size Hershey candy bar but would likely work for others too.  

    Measurements: 

    • Real Red 6” square scored on one side at 1 ½”, 1 ¾”, 4 ¼” & 4 ½”
    • Black strip ¾” X 6” scored same as above, Black 1/2" 'buttons'
    • White glimmer ¾” X 6”
    • Silver buckle is from the Potted Succulents dies

    The  greeting is from the Holly Jolly Wishes  stamp set.  I used the Tailor Made Tags for my White greeting tag. 

     

    I wish you a very Merry Christmas! 

    I hope you can spend it with your favorite people!

  • Snowflake Vellum fun fold card with video


    We made this pretty card at my December Card Clubs.  I thought snowflakes would be perfect for many occasions coming up. 

    I used the Snowflake 12" specialty vellum that 'was' in our Holiday catalog.  They ran out of stock in early December.  And the Wonderful Snowflakes (large white snowflake) was discounted on the Last Chance list but they've run out now too!  This time of year is so difficult to plan for.  

    But they loved the card and thought the fold was fun too. 

    I shared how to make it on my FB Live yesterday.  Click here to watch. 

    Details: 

    • The back of the card is simply a quarter sheet of Starry Sky card stock – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".  
    • The fold is 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". 
    • The large piece of vellum and the white inside are 3" X 4".  The side pieces of vellum are about 1 1/2" X 4".
    • I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set (retiring) & dies for the inside of the left card.  The Frosted Flurry dies are now out of stock. The birthday greeting on the right is from the Celebrating You stamp set (annual catalog)
    • The Starry Sky stitched circle is 3" around; a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  They are also out of stock right now!  Sheesh!  I picked popular items for this card, didn't I?

  • Splendid Day projects; deeply discounted and while supplies last


    The Splendid Day suite is on the retiring list and most of these items are discounted on the Last Chance list; while supplies last.  

    I thought I'd highlight a few of my past projects featuring them.  

    The bundle is retiring in about 2 weeks; it's while supplies last. The Splendid Stems dies seen here are currently marked down to $13.60 from $34.  The Open Leaf trinkets are marked down from $8 to $3.20.  See them here. I can't believe they're still available at these prices!  

    This gorgeous Splendid Day specialty designer paper seen here is now just $6, marked down from $15.  The Soft Sea Foam seam binding ribbon is super thin and soft.  It's super easy to work with.  It's also on sale, while supplies last, for just $3.20.  See it here.  

    The Splendid Thoughts stamp set has some beautiful greetings in it; I love the fonts! 

    The colors in this designer paper are so soft & pretty; they include Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Sahara Sand and Copper.  

    Below is a video I shared featuring these products:
