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!

  • Easel card fold with Modern Christmas with a free project sheet! Mystery boxes are still available!


    On last week’s video I shared two fun fold cards featuring the Modern Christmas suite. I shared one yesterday and today I’m sharing the Easel fun fold card. I haven’t made one of these for awhile and forgot how quickly they come together.

    Black, White & Gold are so classy. I did use one bundle and two sets of dies to create this card.

    I used the Traditional Labels bundle seen here for the greeting heat embossed in gold. And the Peace on Earth dies for the center die-cut. Plus the Peaceful Greenery coordinating embossing folder seen here. And lastly the Scenic Adventure dies here for the trees die-cut. Whew!

    There’s just something about a mostly white card that makes it elegant.
    I did create a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.

    Below is the video for this card and another fabulous Z-fold card. I hope you watch it and if you’re not already subscribed to my YouTube channel please do!

  • Modern Christmas Triple-Z card with video & free project sheet


    First; I’ll let you know I still have several Mystery Boxes left. Don’t miss the opportunity to get over $200 in free products! See the details here.

    I shared this super neat card on last week’s video. I love this fold! It looks like work but it’s so easy!

    Isn’t it fabulous?! I found several others online and had to try it. I chose to feature the Modern Christmas suite seen here.

    The scored lines to create this fold are simply 1″ & 3″ for both the card base and the 3 strips. Watch the video below to see how it’s put together.

    The main image of trees is stamped on the die-cut from Branching Out. See these dies here; they coordinate with the stamp set but stand alone too. The greeting is from the Traditional Labels bundle seen here. I cut a second die-cut in Gold and split it apart across the middle so it shows.

    Here’s how I stamped the back side:

    The trees & greetings are from the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the playful style of the stamp set.

    The card bekiw is the card I made during the video. I changed it up a bit.

    The beautiful gold & black paper (and the above trees DSP) is from the Modern Christmas DSP seen here. It’s so elegant and fits with the star die-cut from the Modern Christmas bundle quite well. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

    I created a free project sheet for these cards. Click here to print or download it. I do recommend you create a file for project sheets or card ideas. It’s so handy to access it quickly.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another as well. Both feature this beautiful Modern Christmas suite. I’ll share the other card tomorrow.

  • Two more of my favorite kits. There are still Mystery Boxes left!


    My mystery boxes are selling well; be sure to grab yours while there are some left. *see below

    I wanted to share two more of my favorite kits from our Kit Collection seen here.

    First is a thank you kit called Thank You Kindly’. It’s an elegant set of cards that are both special & easy to make.

    They’re mostly white with gold foil accents & that stunning black pre-printed greeting. This is a non-stamping kit. It’s currently in low inventory so it will likely sell out soon. It’s just $14 and can be seen here.

    Next is the gorgeous Harvest Home Garland that can also be made into a wreath. It would be great for your Thanksgiving table or used as a wreath.

    It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make mine. I even added some sponging/blending to the paper leaves (which wasn’t in the directions. It have everything you need except hot glue – recommended to attach the leaves to the rope. It’s so pretty and I love the non-traditional colors that still have an autumn look. See it in the store here.
