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!

  • Happy New Year! Who’s ready for new product?!


    Happy New Year!!!  It's officially 2021! 

    In some ways I cannot believe the actual year.  When I was young I thought we'd have flying cars by now and would have people living on the moon!  Ha!

    I've been playing with lots of new product lately; getting ready for my New Catalog BOGO event on Tuesday, January 5th.  I thought I'd share a silly card featuring a few new products with a little play on the end of 2020.

    The cute donkey is from a stamp set called Darling Donkeys and it's a free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order.  I colored him in with Blends markers.  The card is Crumb Cake and the confetti & number die-cuts are in Pacific Point, Bumblebee & Magenta Madness.

    Woo hoo!! Sale-a-Bration & the new 2021 Spring Catalog officially start on Tuesday, January 5th!  

    Products Used:

    • The fun confetti die-cuts are from the Dandy Wishes dies in the new 2021 Spring Catalog; I love this retro style! 
    • The numbers are from the Playful Alphabet in the annual catalog; you get 58 dies for just $34.
    • The greeting is from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's in a bundle with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (scalloped rectangle used here.)

    Have a wonderful New Year's weekend everyone!

  • Life is Beautiful fun fold cards with video!


    Here are the two cards I made on FB Live last week.  I had to ink up my Life is Beautiful stamp set one more time. Sadly it's retiring on January 4th.  

    This first card is made with Purple Posy & Gray Granite.  I cut off 1 1/2" from the front layer to reveal a bit of the inside.  I used the Stamparatus to stamp both the tree and greeting at the same time.  I love it for mass producing!  Perfect every time!

    I used Highland Heather ink for the bokeh dots in this set; stamped off a few times.  That neat texture is a new folder in the upcoming Spring catalog called Painted Texture. 


    Get your Life is Beautiful stamp set here before it's gone for good. It's such an easy set to create with! 

    There are tons of samples on Pinterest featuring my stamp set. Click here to see them.

    • Whisper White – front 4" X 2 1/2", inside 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"

    This neat easel card is made with Just Jade, Smoky Slate, Black & White.  Watch the video to see how I did the birdhouse in two colors. 

    Measurements:

    • Smoky Slate – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Just Jade 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", inside strip is 3/4" X 3 1/4"

  • Oh So Ombre cards; quick & easy with my 2-cut template!


    Check out these cute cards made with the upcoming Sale-a-Bration FREE designer paper called 'Oh So Ombre'.  I created them on my Stamp with Me FB Live Monday night.  I created a template to chop up a piece of designer paper into 4 pieces. See the video below. 

    It's a pack of 48 sheets in 6 X 6" size with beautiful colors & patterns with a gradual color change.  One side is smooth and the other features the fun dots.  

    You'll be able to earn this paper pack FREE with a $50 order during our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It starts in just 6 days and runs from January 5th – February 28th, 2021.

    I made these 3 cards with the Dandy Garden Designer Paper (another sneak peak; from the 2021 Spring Catalog) with my template seen below.  

    Start out with a piece of double sided Designer Paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it into 4 pieces using the template below.  Then, mix & match your pieces on a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.  

    Tips:

    • This is easiest if you use patterns without a direction on them; such as flowers that grow up from the bottom or words. 
    • Choose one pack of DSP that coordinates well and cut 2-3 pieces in a variety of patterns.  It's fun to mix & match them. 

    Watch the video below to see how and get some creative tips:
