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!

  • Adorable Turtle-y Cute fun fold card


    Last weekend we held our monthly Team swap and Lori made this super cute card. 

    It's a vertical book binding card fold.  I love how this fold allows you to show off so much fun products like the DSP and the embossing folder. Her turtle & balloon are fussy cut from the Turtle-y Cute DSP.  

    She used the Turtle-y Cute suite seen here. So many fun elements! Unfortunately the Turtle Textures embossing folder is currently unavailable.  

    Measurements:

    • Base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score 1 3/4", 3 1/4" & 4 1/4"
    • yellow is 2 5/8" X 5 1/2"
    • green textured 2 3/8" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP 2 pieces at 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • white inside 2 1/8" X 5 1/4"
    • banner greeting 2 3/4" X 7/8"

  • Fun Team swaps with new In Colors!


    Today my husband and I are off to Orlando for the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip.  We're pretty excited to be there and see all of our SU friends. *less than 1% of SU demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year and I am so blessed to be one of them!  Thank you all for your support!!

    Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

    The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion.  I love how she used them as the focal point of her card.  She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers.  She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer. 

    She added even more dies to the inside!  

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.  

    She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects. 

    Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here.  Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge.  Genius!  

    The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here.  And even her gems are from this suite! 

    Here's the inside view.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base – Vanilla – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4". 
    • DSP on the inside left 2 5/8" X 5 1/2", on the right 1 5/8" X 5 1/2" 
    • Cloud Cover layer is 2 1/2" X 4"
