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?

  • More Team Swaps include multiple ‘WOW’ cards!


    Every month our Flowerbug's Team has an optional card swap and I always think it's the best group of cards ever.  Then another month comes and they get even better!  How is it possible?!  

    This first card today features the Brightest Beauty bundle seen here.  It's in our Holiday catalog and has been on my wish list for awhile.  I think she pushed me over the edge with her card!  

    Her colors include Old Olive & Crushed Curry with White.  I LOVE the frame she made with the Fabulous Frames dies!  The rest of the dies are from the Brightest Beauty bundle.  That stamped background behind the frame and the main image are wonderful together.  The plain white behind the pretty flower & leaves really show the stamped image off.  And that greeting die! 

    ~~~

    Next is an amazing card made by Candace.  She is the expert at sponging backgrounds.  Always so smooth and blended.  

    Who would think of adding a Hippo to Snowflakes?!!  But it works perfectly.  

    Details:

    • Colors include Gorgeous Grape, White, Highland Heather & Pacific Point
    • The Hippo is from the Hippest Hippos stamp set & dies from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. 
    • The snowflake frame is from the Snowman dies & the Red & White glimmer paper
    • The embossing folder is from the Wintry duo in the Annual catalog
    • She achieved her beautiful background by using Blending Brushes.
    • The pretty 'iridescent' snowflake is from our Wonderful Snowflakes seen here  
    • She printed the greetings on White card stock using her printer! 

    ~~~

    Next is a simple yet beautiful card made by Annette. She let the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder take the prime spot on her card. This folder comes in a bundle with dies seen here. 

    Her colors are Old Olive with Very Vanilla.  The greeting is from the Color & Contour bundle.  The offset circles add a playful touch. 

    Come back for more incredible swap cards tomorrow!

  • Rings of Love Triple Panel card with video & measurements


    Here's one more card I made during last week's FB Live with the free Rings of Love designer paper in our Sale-a-Bration offering.  

    I cut a 3 1/4" X 3" piece of the designer paper and then cut it into three 1" strips.  I then layered it onto three strips of Evening Evergreen CS. 

    I textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber embossing folder – it's also a new Free Sale-a-Bration choice in August; with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.   

    I love how the three panels create a 'scene', making the DSP the star of the card.  See the Rings of Love DSP here.

    Measurements: 

    • Poppy Parade 5 ½”X 8 ½”
    • White is 5 ¼” X 4”, Crumb Cake 5” X 3 ¾”
    • Evergreen is 5 1/8” X 3 7/8”, DSP is 1” X 3 ¼”
    • Evergreen strips are 1 1/8” X 3 3/8”
