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!

  • Pretty Pumpkin bundle in Gold!


    Marilyn made this card for my display last week using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle seen here. She used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic specialty paper here on her layer and die-cuts.  She got the idea from a card made by Christi Redding. It's gorgeous!  

    I had a hard time getting a great photo of this card.  The gold metallic paper is so much prettier than this photo shows! 

    She fussy cut her greeting and added some gold cording underneath. The texture on the Vanilla layer is from the Tasteful Textile folder.

  • The Pretty Pumpkins bundle slipped right by me!


    I regret not ordering the Pretty Pumpkins set after seeing what my friend Marilyn made with it.  Look at these gorgeous images!

    She made them for my New Catalog launch last week. I think they're simply beautiful and that greetings font is beautiful!! 

    She made 3 cards for our display and this is the second one.  I'll share the last one soon.  

    The pretty paper is from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper.  I believe she used the baby wipe technique for the left pumpkin.  For the right one she added Wink of Stella to the die-cut pumpkin.  

    Again; look at the stunning font on this fabulous greeting.  I have so many friends I'd give this card to!

  • Peaceful Cabin card; easier than I thought!!


    Tomorrow is an exciting day!  The Holiday AND the 2nd  Sale-a-Bration catalogs go live tomorrow.  Tuesday August 3rd you can now order from them. 

    *If you do not have a demonstrator or either of these catalogs contact me and I'll send you them.  

    I wanted to have a sample of this pretty bundle at my Holiday Catalog Launch party last week so I had a play with it.  I was so surprised on how easy it is to create with! 

    I stamped everything in Smoky Slate for a soft look. The card front is mostly two pieces.  The trees were stamped on the upper part of a 5 1/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White card stock.  The cabin and greeting were stamped on the same size piece.   

    Then I used the cabin edge die to cut the silhouette of it.  I adhered the tree layer to the Basic Gray card stock first.  Then added the cabin layer with dimensionals.  I added a few silver foil trees to the side; these are also dies in this set. 

    Remember you can order this bundle tomorrow Tuesday, August 3rd here. 

    Join me for my FB Live BOGO Sale tomorrow at 11 am CT here.
