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 & Simple Treat pouch with free project sheet & video


    I shared this neat treat pouch on last week’s Live video. It’s super simple and requires a 6″ X 12″ sheet of designer paper.

    I made one before and one during the video. The left pouch above features the Made with Love designer paper. The right one uses the Lovely & Beautiful specialty designer series paper.

    What I like about this is there’s no special measuring; just score on the lines on the template in the project sheet seen below. The belly band makes closure easy and you can decorate the front in any way you’d like. It’s 1 1/4″ X 10 1/2″. Watch the video to see how I form it around the pouch. There’s no need to score it; just bend at the folds leaving a bit of room for sliding it off.

    I used the 1 3/4″ circle punch and the To the Point punch. The greetings are from the Words of Beauty bundle seen here. The little heart punch is retired.

    I created a free project sheet with template for you. Click here to download it or print it.
