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!

  • ‘Ornament’ Christmas cards for quick & easy card making!


    We're making ornament cards on tonight's Stamp with Me Live.  It's a quick & easy idea for your Christmas cards!


    The designer paper is the Santa Express seen here.  It's filled with lots of great patterns; not just Santas & trains.  

    Join me here Live at 7:30 pm CT.  The video will be on my YouTube channel by Tuesday, November 29th too. 

    I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special. 
     
    I added a Wonderful Snowflake to the designer paper circle for a quick, beautiful iridescent element.  These snowflakes will be well discounted on Thursday with the Last Chance List seen here: Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance
     
    The greeting is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set. 
     
    Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight. 
     
    Gather these supplies:
    • Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
    • Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    • 'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
    • Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
    • Twine or thin ribbon
    Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
     
    I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set. 

    The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents. 

    To catch all of my videos, follow me on my FB page here.  Or on YouTube here.

  • 2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!


    Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

    We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.  

    ~~~

    Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.  

    Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.  


    Measurements are: 

    • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
    • Evergreen layer 4" square

     

    Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card.  She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here. 

    Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5" X 10".  Score at 2 1/2" & 5".  You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark.  From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners. 
    • Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark.  Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners. 
    • Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
    • Designer paper squares are 3"

    Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!  

    I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I?  They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.
