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!

  • Pretty Florals cards with video tutorial


    Here's another pretty card I made on last week's Live video: 

    Most of this card is made with the Florals in Bloom designer paper.  Both large pieces of DSP and the small flowers & leaves are fussy cut from it.  The large flower is die-cut from this DSP using the Pretty Florals dies. See the bundle here. 

    My colors include Petunia Pop with Secret Sea and White. 

    Which card do you prefer?  

    I didn't create a project sheet for this card so I'll share the measurements here.

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score/fold at 5 1/2"
    • DSP on the left 3" X 4 1/4"; DSP on the right 2 1/2" X 5"
    • White circle die-cut 3" X 3 7/8" (Spotlight on Nature dies) 
    • diagonal strip 6" X 1 1/8" 

    During the video I shared another neat card using the Florals in Bloom suite.  Check it out here. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and a fun fold too. Both are made with this upcoming bundle from the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog.

  • Pretty Florals fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


    Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video.  It' features lots of new products from the 2025-26 Annual Catalog. Yay! This catalog & lost of new product goes live tomorrow! 

    My colors include Misty Moonlight with Timid Tiger and White.  The floral stamp set is called Pretty Florals and will be available on May 6th. The greeting is from the Blooming Phrases set.  

    I believe this fun fold is called a diamond fold.  It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" card base with two score lines.  Where the diamond layers are added is the second score line.  Simply trim off the excess on the left side of the diamond layers.  *watch the video here to understand

    This is one of those cards where the video helps you more than a tutorial does.  Please watch the video below to understand how this fold works. 

    But if you like having the instructions with measurements here's the free project tutorial for you.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Pretty Florals diamond fold

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more too. Both are made with this upcoming bundle from the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog. It goes live on May 6th.
