Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the By the Bay Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle that I shared on March 1st.
Today I’ve got for you a fun fold card idea that is new to me. I got the idea from my friend and fellow demonstrator, Susan Campfield (my upline). She calls this fold the “flying seagull” fold which makes total sense, because it looks like a bird with its wings outstretched when open. I’ve also got some Sponge Dauber techniques to share.
A few hours ago I was live on YouTube and on Facebook and went through step-by-step directions for how to make this fold and do these techniques in four eye-catching cards that feature the By the Bay Designer Paper, the Seaside Bay Stamp Set, Fine Shimmer Paper, Sponge Daubers, Masking Paper, the Seashells Embossing Folder, and the Splatters Embossing Folder.
And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).
