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!

  • Sand & Sea Spinner Fun-Fold card


    For our Team swap this month Candace created this pretty spinner card with the Friends are Like Seashells bundle and the Seashell embossing folder.  

    This gorgeous embossing folder has been unavailable for a few weeks; but it should be back in stock on the 29th of March.

    Her colors are Sahara Sand, Navy & Calypso Coral. She used the Oval dies and the Stitched Shapes dies for her spinner.  She also added beautiful shimmer to the shell but it doesn't show up well in this photo. 

    To make a spinner card you need to adhere a length of twine between two ovals adhering the twine under another layer on the main card.  It's not hard; just a bit fiddly. 

    She went above the window card theme and added a surprise flip up layer! 

    Stop back in for more window cards all week long!
