I made these three cards using the By the Bay Suite.  The collection is gorgeous, but it is retiring.  If you love the ocean as much as I do, go to my store link and see if you can grab one before they're gone.  I used a sketch from Paper Craft Crew (#511) for my team challenge in April. It was a fun sketch to work with.  I made one and proceeded to make three or four more!  The Seashells 3D embossing folder is on clearance.  Grab one of those too.  It's so pretty!!

Another sketch two ways

I have a monthly team challenge, and this month we are using a sketch from my upline, Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty.  I usually come up with a few cards using the sketch.  I enjoyed working with this one!

I started with a new suite from the Stampin’ Up! January to June mini catalog.  This one is called By the Bay.  I love everything ocean, so this was first on my list.  The dies coordinate with the designer series paper.  I used Cloud 3D embossing folder on Balmy Blue cardstock along with Crumb Cake.  The bird was cut from the dsp.  On the second one, I changed the Crumb Cake out for Night of Navy and I think I prefer that one.  Let me know your choice in the comments!

I used the sketch on a third card to make a Christmas card for my monthly challenge on my Facebook business page.
