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!

  • Fun Swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with Sneak Peaks from the Holiday catalog


    Today I'm sharing two swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  I love seeing their style & creativity!

    Karen made this fun fold card using the Bunches of Fun stamp set seen here. 

    Her colors are Black, White & Crushed Curry.  She also used a fun technique called Paper Piecing.  She stamped the gal onto Pattern Party DSP and fussy cut the dress out.  Love this!!  

    See that texture on the large Crushed Curry layer?  That's a sneak peak from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  

    Measurements:

    • Black – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4", 2 3/4" X 4"
    • White 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"

    Next is another Sneak Peak card made by Lori.  She used the new Penguin Place bundle in the Holiday catalog.  It includes a cute Penguin punch!  

    She added a layer of White to her Balmy Blue card base and torn the upper edge. She added a bit of Wink of Stella to the torn area for snow.  A super fun winter birthday card!

  • Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!


    I created this card for an online swap I participated in.  I love to join card swaps!  I can create one card and make multiples of it.  Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of!  Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style.  Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!  

    I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper.  I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card.  They can be very easy on the eye.  

    I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine.  The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers. 

    The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog.  If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now.  This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too! 

    In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!
