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!

  • Dutch Door fun fold card with gift card option on tonight’s FB Live!


    Join me tonight for this week's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  We're making these neat fun fold cards.  It's a Dutch Door card with a gift card option.  

    I shared the measurements & supplies list (seen below) on Saturday here on my FB page so stampers could prep their items ahead of time.  This way they can stamp right along with me!  

    Has the Ice Cream Corner suite caught your eye yet?  Such cute products!  I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle (stamps & punch) here along with the Ice Cream Corner DSP and sprinkles.  You can see it all here or on pages 48-49 of the Spring catalog. FYI; the Ice Cream punch is on low inventory. 



    I made a bunch of cards using this bundle for February's kit to go.  You can still see them and/or get the tutorial for them here. 

    I used the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set for this card too. I chose the True Love designer paper and added a cute Magenta Madness flower made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here; I love these!  

    Here's the inside view where you can see the gift card enclosure.  Use any circle punch and adhere the upper and lower edges closed. 

    Measurements:
    Card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2",
    Gift card piece 2 3/4" X 7" score at 3/4" & 5"
    Inside layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    DSP bottom is 2 1/2" X 4", upper vertical piece is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"
    Vertical CS is 2 3/4" X 4 3/4"

  • Quick Hey Chick card


    Last week I received this cute card from Donna from the Stampin' Up! home office for reaching a sales milestone.  I think it's sweet & simple!  Two stamps and a bit of coloring. 

    It's one of those cards you could make a bunch of to share with friends for just about any reason. 

    This card is a great reminder that we don't have to always layer everything evenly. Choose some random pieces from your leftover pieces (that coordinate of course) and place them on the card at will.  Play around until you're happy and the card feels balanced.  

    The little 'hey chick' greeting and rhinestones add the perfect finishing touch! 

    See the Hey Chick & Hey Birthday Chick bundle here

     

    New Catalogs are coming soon!!

    **Reminder that if you are a current customer (ordered $50 or more in the last 10 months) of mine and would like a new Annual Catalog sent to you please contact me to get on the list!
