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!

  • Spooky Treats alternative card with Aspen Tree dies


    Here's one of the projects I shared on Tuesday's FB Live video this week.  I focused on the Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit.  

    Good news!  This kit is still available – you can get the full kit here.  Or if you're a subscriber you can get the refill here.  

     In the video seen here, I share a bunch of alternative projects with both my Paper Pumpkin subscribers AND my Flowerbug's Team. 

    Here's the stamp set that is included in the kit; it's so cute!

    Here's what the Spooky Treats kit makes if you follow the kit directions as directed. It includes 18 nice size treat boxes; perfect to add your candy or Halloween treats in.  

    I look forward to getting these kits in the mail each month.  I know that October's kit is Christmas cards.  We always get a hint on what it will be. That way you can opt out or even choose to get more than one kit!

    You have a few choices when purchasing Paper Pumpkin.  You can subscribe to get one kit each month here.  Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here.  You can choose from a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription.  

    You can see how I stamped the inside below.  The card base is Orchid Oasis. 

    I used three inks and our blending brushes to create the smooth background under the Aspen Tree dies. I share a few tips on getting smooth results in the video.

  • Apple Harvest Fun Fold card


    We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September.  I love the bright colors paired with Black! 

    The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black.  As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms.  And inside the card is a single apple. 

    The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here. 

    All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet.  I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

    This card fold is super simple.  Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.  

    Measurements:

    • Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
    • Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
    • White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside
