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?

  • 2nd set of Incredible In Color card swaps by the Flowerbugs


    Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more. 

    The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A.  This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

    She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

    For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4".  The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card.  The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4". 

    Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    Next up – Annette used the same stamp set; 'Nothing's Better Than'. It coordinates with the Love you More Than dies.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet and Black with just a bit of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis for her coloring.  

    She textured her Sweet Sorbet designer paper with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    The tag dies are the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

    Next is a fun fold card made by Marilyn featuring the Cup of Tea bundle.  Her main colors include Starry Sky and Parakeet Party.  

    She used the Layering Circles and Stylish Shapes dies for her circle element.  The pretty texture is the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder seen here.  

    Her measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/2" & 6 1/2" 
    • DSP  5 1/4" X 2 1/4" 
    • textured layer 5 1/4" X 1 3/4"
    • inside White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8" 

     

    The last card I'm sharing today was made by Miles & Laura and features the Flowers & Leaves punch and the 6 X 6" In Color designer series paper.  Isn't it fun!?!

    I'll be back with the last set of wonderful swap cards tomorrow!

  • 1st set of Amazing In Color card swaps!


    Last weekend our Flowerbug's Team met and swapped cards featuring at least 2 in colors.  I can't wait for you to see them all; they're fabulous! 

    This first card was made by Jacki featuring two punches!  The Ladybug Builder and Medium Daisy punch.  

    Here in colors include Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis.  She also used the Painted Texture embossing folder on her White layer.  

    Next is a card made by Mary.  She used the Framed Occasions stamp set in Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis. 

    This stamp set coordinates with the Beautiful Shapes dies.  The Designer paper is the Tea Boutique DSP.  

    Deloris made this vibrant card with the Amazing Year stamp set.  Her in colors include Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide. 

    She used the new Stylish Shapes dies and the Hive 3D embossing folder.  I believe she colored in the image with Blends markers. 

    Lastly is a card made by Tracey; she featured a bunch of the new In Colors along with Crushed Curry.

    Her card includes stamps from the Color & Contour stamp set and the Scalloped Contour dies that coordinate with it.  

    I'll be back with another set of wonderful swap cards tomorrow!
