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!

  • Playful & unique cards with Oh So Ombre’ Designer paper!


    Do you have the fabulous Oh So Ombre' Designer Series Paper yet?  If not here are three creative reasons you need it!

    Aren't they fun!  I really wanted to show you how amazing this designer paper is so I played and came up with these neat card ideas.  First is a starburst card in two colors; Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss.  

    I used the fabulous Stitched Star dies and the Oval Occasions stamp set.  Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to make one of these gorgeous cards. 

    Next I played with the Dandy Wishes dies (2021 Spring Catalog) to create these 'Retro' style cards.  I first die-cut a bunch of 'windows' in the White panel.  Then added punched circles of the Oh So Ombre DSP behind them.  Next I textured the entire thing with an embossing folder.  

    For the last card I wanted to use those retro style die-cuts so I created this Ombre panel card.  The stamp set is from Field of Flowers. 

    Thanks for stopping in today; I hope you like these unique cards.  If you do and want to get your own package of Oh So Ombre' Designer Paper you can get it free with a $50 purchase.  click here to order.

  • You Are Amazing cards with Blending Brush ideas


    Last week on my Tuesday Live I shared three cards featuring the You Are Amazing stamp set & the new blending brushes.  I've always loved sponging and these new brushes are incredible!  They are so popular they are currently on back-order; but you can still order them! 

    This cute stamp set is on page 7 of the Spring catalog.  Click here to see it.  It coordinates with the You Are Amazing card kit.

    Join me here for my weekly 'Facebook Live on Tuesday, February 16th here at 11 am CT. 

    On this first card I used the Happy Dies to create a colorful title banner. 

    This was my favorite and also loved by many others too.  I created a few 'star stencils' with the Stitched Stars dies and sponged in the windows.  

    I added a few Artistry Blooms sequins for extra bling. 

    And on this card I sponged on the True Love polka dot paper.  It was Black & White but is now two-toned!
