How To Make A Fun By The Bay Birthday Card – Casually Crafting Blog Hop

Feb 18, 2023 | Birthdays, Blog Hop, Celebrate

Welcome to our monthly Casually Crafting Blog Hop! and my By The Bay Birthday Card.

Casually Crafting Design Team Blog Hop

The Casually Crafting Design Team is a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world, gathered together to share our passion for creativity with you. Our focus is to bring you inspiration featuring projects that are easy to create while still packing a powerful creative punch. The projects are made with a few products, making them ideally suited to a beginner or casual crafter. From time-to-time, we may also include a project that is stepped-up for the added wow-factor

We will be sharing our ideas on the 3rd Saturday of each month and you can hop around the group and gather loads of inspiration. So grab yourself a cup of your favourite beverage, sit back & enjoy the hop!

Sketch Challenge

This month we have a sketch challenge. Have you tried one? Its a great way to inspire your creativity.

The rules are easy. You can rotate the sketch and resize/shape the elements if you want to as long as the original sketch layout can still be recognized.

By The Bay

Today I am using one of my favourite Patterned Papers from the January to April Mini Catalogue- By the Bay.

Its images are based on the sea, It reminds me of holidays and long walks on the beach.

48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ patterned paper: 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. One of which has wonderful iridescent foil patterns for some additional glamour.

Can you believe that pretty much all these layers and images are from the DSP above

The pretty variegated ribbon has been wrapped around the first and second layers before attaching to the base card

The two layered circles were created by drawing around the inside of a roll tear & tape and fussy cutty just inside the pencil marks creating a wavy edge

All the shells are fussy cu form the DSP & arranged on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals

The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy and trimmed down to fit

Finish with some flat adhesive-backed Pearls and I added a silver starfish charm that I had in my ephemera box
