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?

  • I love gold & glitz on Christmas cards!


    Here are another set of gorgeous holiday cards made by my Flowerbug’s Team.

    First is a pretty card made by Kim who chose the Peace on Earth bundle seen here.

    That stunning designer paper is called Season of Elegance and can be seen here. She embossed the DSP with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. Simple & stunning.

    Check out this pretty fun fold card made by Paula:

    She featured lots of new products! The stamp set is Branching Out and is stamped on a tag from the Patterned Tags dies seen here which is also where that cute bow is from. The Designer Paper is the Traditions of Christmas specialty paper and the embossing folder is Forever Plaid. Whew!

    Her measurements are:

    Vanilla card base 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, Vanilla scored layer is 2 3/4″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″, textured layer is 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ & the DSP is 2 strips 3/4″ X 5 1/4″

    I’ll share the last of our Team swaps next week.

  • More Christmas card swaps; creative ideas for you!


    Yesterday I shared an elegant Christmas card swap made by one of my Flowerbug’s; today I’ll share a few cute ones. Which is your style?

    First up is a sweet card made by Candace who chose the Gingerbread Man bundle seen here.

    She heat embossed the gingerbread outline on Pecan Pie card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating die. She also stamped the hat and scarf images with heat embossing too. Love the sheet-pan effect the Silver Foil paper gives here! So cute!

    Next is an adorable card made by Joan who featured the Homemade Treats bundle seen here. Another sheet pan with gingerbread on it! So cute.

    Her colors include Basic Beige, Real Red, Silver, Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. Each of the elements are stamps & coordinating dies from this cute Homemade Treats bundle seen here.

    The next card is made by Kathy who used the North Pole Delivery designer series paper for this gatefold card:

    Her colors include Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink. See this cute suite here. It’s great for the animal lovers out there.

    And lastly today is this center fold card made by Barb who used the Festive Friends bundle seen here.

    She also used the Waves 3D folder in the back and the Christmas Tags & More DSP for the plaid strips. Here’s the inside view:

    Stay tuned; I’ll share more swaps tomorrow!

  • Modern Christmas card idea


    Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
    This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

    Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

    The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

    She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

    I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

    I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!
