Incredible By the Bay suite projects by our Artist of the Month!


Each month one of my Flowerbug's team is the 'Artist of the Month'.  This month Bobby is the featured Artist and she chose to use the Seaside Bay bundle with the By the Bay Suite seen here.  It's filled with beautiful fold & pearl foil specialty designer paper, Flat Adhesive-Backed pearls & blue & white variegated ribbon.  

This pretty fun fold card was cased from Melva Peters

The Thank you sentiment is cut out with the Stitched Rectangular Framelit dies; she ran the long edge of the die over the sentiment at an angle to get the angled effect.  

Measurements:

  • Navy Card base 8 1/4" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"; second piece is 4 1/2" X 2 3/4" scored at 4"
  • DSP 2 1/2" X 4" and 3 3/4" X 2 1/2"
  • White inside is 5 1/4" X 4", scrap for greeting and clam shell die-cut

Magnetic closures are used to secure the card closed.  

Next is a pretty card cased from Leonie Stuart. 

The pretty texture is done with the Seashells 3D embossing folder.  She also used a vellum circle, Night of Navy ink, Wink of Stella, the Natural Finish ribbon and linen thread.

This next card is her own creation; she did the floating technique with the By the Bay DSP seen here. 


The floating technique is where you add strips of paper to a window sheet leaving spaces between.  Then die-cut it out and it looks like it's floating.  She used the Stylish Shapes dies for the circle.  

More details:

The bird is cut from the By the Bay Designer Series Paper. Leaf Sprig is from the Framed Florets and the embossing is from the Seashells 3D embossing folder in the annual catalog.  

Here's the inside view – all done in Navy & Starry Sky inks.

Next is a gorgeous card cased from Gail Ellis.  

She added 1 3/8" squares to a die-cut stitched rectangle measuring 3 3/8" X 4 3/4".  I love the white on white with that pop of gold and sea greens & blues!  The Faux Sea Glass shapes are added too.

Lastly for today is a card cased from Evelyn Rosborough. A beautiful monochromatic card – some of my favorites! 

The DSP measures 3 1/4" X 5 1/2", the White layer is 3 1/2" X 5 1/2" on a Sahara Sand card base.  

The seashell is cut from the Texture Chic DSP and the greetings are cut from the Stitched Rectangle dies.  Love that foil sea grass accent!  

I'll share details on the other half of her cards tomorrow!

  • Everyone needs a Card Organizer; you’ll love this kit to go! Limited supply available…


    I was thrilled with the Birthday Card Organizer kit Stampin' Up! created and knew it would be super popular.  I was right; they are now out of stock.  It will be available again; but we don't know when. 

    I ordered a bunch of these kits and have jazzed it up for a kit to go this month.  

    The basic Birthday Organizer kit includes the card organizer (it has 12 months & 14 pockets for cards), adhesives, adhesive-backed sequins & everything needed to make 12 cards & envelopes. 

    I'm adding 4 bonus cards & envelopes, a spool of Sahara Sand ribbon and all pre-cut pieces needed to complete the design element on the front of the card organizer.

    In the PDF tutorial you'll also see a few alternate designs for the 2 card designs included in the base kit. Of course it also includes instructions for the bonus cards and design element on the front. This PDF is sent to you immediately after payment via email. 

    To complete this organizer and cards as shown you’ll need the following products: 

    • Stamps – Biggest Wish, Peaceful Moments (or other greetings)
    • Ink – Black, Soft Succulent, Petal Pink

  • Country Wreath’s Vertical Slider fun fold card; with video tutorial


    A few weeks ago I shared multiple projects with the Cottage Wreaths bundle on my weekly FB Live.  This Vertical Slider card was one of them.  It's so cool and surprisingly easy.  

    It's a simple gatefold but the center element holds the card closed so it stays flat.  It's so neat!  I made a second version as well and shared that one here. 

    I used the Santa Express designer paper here as well as the Joyful Flurry bundle and Brightest Glow stamp set. 

    How it works is to have three squares or circles on the back of the center element.  Fold two in half and adhere to the back of your center layer.  Then top it with the third one.  The two must be positioned so the grab the two front panels of the card and can 'slide' down the center seam.  *watch the video below or here to see how it works.  

    Click on the photo below to watch the video.  There's another neat fun fold card AND an easy treat box/bag too!
