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!

  • Use both sides of your DSP on this neat ‘back fold’ card; so easy!


    I joined a few online swaps in December so I could get lots of samples for my New Catalog Launch on January 18th. I love to showcase lots of products from the new catalogs each time. 

    This is one I made featuring the Friends of the Ocean DSP

    My colors include Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie.  You cannot tell from the photo above that it's a fun fold card but it is. And it's so easy! 

    The Friends of the Ocean DSP is so colorful and fun; here's a peek it. 

    The layered greeting is attached to the right sided edge and it holds the left side closed. 

    How? There's an extra score line 1" from the edge.  The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1" and 4 1/4". 

    I used the new With You in Mind stamp set for this card.  I love it because the greetings are nice & large and it's my friend Julie Davison's million $ stamp set!  The greeting fits onto the new To the Point punch well and that layers on our 2 3/8" circle punch perfectly.

    **All of these products are coming out in the Spring Catalog on Tuesday, January 7th. 

    If you'd like to download or print the free project sheet (with photos, directions & measurements) for this card click on the following link: Download Friends of the Ocean back fold

    Here's a link to the video & a different version of this neat, easy fun fold card.

  • Happy New Year! Check out my January Specials


    I hope you enjoyed your New Year's.  If you didn't celebrate hopefully you had some relaxing time in.  That's what we did. Plus organized a few cabinets.  It always seems like a great time to go through our stuff and toss or donate some things we don't need. 

    Today I'm sharing a few of the specials I'm offering to my customers in January. 

    First is a big stack of free card kits.  I put together some printed card bases and envelopes plus Memories & More cards. These will be wonderful for easy card assembly. Or jazz them up with more layers, embellishments & other items if you wish. They're a great starting point to your creative processes. 

    If your online order is over $55 in January I'll ship one directly to you.

    In addition, every online order will also receive a free PDF tutorial featuring the new 'Friends of the Ocean' suite. This tutorial includes fun folds and unique layouts for not only this designer paper but you can easily substitute any you already own! It will be emailed to you within a few days after an online order from my store here.   

    Remember that Sale-a-Bration starts on January 7th where for every $60 you spend you get to choose a free item from the SAB catalog!  I'll share the link on Tuesday, January 7th. 

    The catalogs have been mailed out and are starting to arrive to my customers.
