Happy Day

I wish I had more reasons to put together cards like this one using the Gone Fishing bundle and Let's Go Fishing designer series paper.

One big tip I have for using this die set is to add the adhesive sheets to your card stock or designer series paper before you do any die cutting. Some of the pieces are too small to mess with other adhesives.

I used some of the Let's Go Fishing designer series paper for the die cuts as well as Gold Foil Sheets and Dry Brushed Metallic specialty paper.

On the inside I added some water images from the Gone Fishing stamp set and a sentiment from the Best Family Ever set.

GONE FISHING PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET
It’s time to hit the fishing hole! Make a card using the Gone Fishing Stamp Set and send it to your favorite angler. With fish, lure, bobber, and water images, it’s perfect for anything fishing-related. But it’s also for more than fishing. With sentiments for dads, Father’s Day, and retirement, you can make cards for many occasions. The Two-Step images work together so it’s easy to add color. For example, to make a two-tone lure, stamp the lure base in a light color and then stamp the striped lure image over it in a darker color. It’s so easy!

GONE FISHING DIES
Cut out a paper tackle box and fishing accents in seconds using the Gone Fishing Dies. Cut out the tackle box to hold everything for fishing: lures, fly fishing lures, and bobbers.

Lasting Joy

This card could be used for several different occasions - weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. since the sentiment is not very specific. The sentiment is from the Lasting Joy stamp set and I stamped it on a die cut made with the Nested Essentials dies.

In the background I have a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock embossed with one of the Basics 3D embossing folders, a piece of retired Perfectly Penciled designer series paper and some linen thread wrapped around it.

Joy to My Heart

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends! 

I thought the dancing deer from the Zoo Crew designer series paper coordinated well with the sentiment on this card from the So Sincere stamp set.

I used an image from the Of Art & Texture stamp set in the background along with some die cuts made with the Stylish Shapes dies and Radiating Stitches dies.

The sentiment is on a die cut made with the Gone Fishing dies and I added some White Baker's twine and 2022-2024 In Color Pearls for accents.

Brick and Deckled Birthday

For this card, I pulled the ink colors and one of the card stock colors from the Masterfully Made designer series paper pattern on the front. In addition, I used some Soft Suede card stock that was embossed with the Exposed Brick embossing folder.

The Fresh Freesia circle is made with the Deckled Circles dies and the sentiment layer is made with the Lasting Label punch. The stamp set I used was the retired Lovely and Lasting set and I chose Pebbled Path and Starry Sky ink.

Supplies:

Every crafter needs some basic tools, and this is one of them! The Deckled Circle Dies quickly cut basic shapes with a twist—a deckled* edge! What can you do with something so basic? For starters, you can cut several sizes in different colors and layer them to create a big colorful circle. Cut different sizes and scatter them on your card for a fun background. Cut in rainbow colors, then cut the circle in half for two rainbows. The list goes on and on and on. If you have a die-cutting machine, you’ll want these dies! (And if you don’t have a die-cutting machine, this is your reason to get one!)

* Not sure what "deckled" is? Picture the edge of handmade paper. It’s untrimmed and irregular. That’s a deckle edge. The deckle edge on these dies mimics the irregular, uncut edge of handmade paper.

Class of 2023

Today our oldest child graduates from college and I was waiting for my preorder to arrive from Stampin' Up! because I wanted to use the Cap and Gown stamp set that will be in the upcoming January - April mini catalog.

I am not sure if Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry are quite a match for NDSU's gold and green, but they are pretty close so I used those for the card base and first layer.

The letters of NDSU are die cut with another sneak peek product called Mini Alphabet dies and the numbers are cut out with the retired Playful Alphabet dies. I also used the upcoming Perennial Postage dies for the layering.

The designer series paper both on the outside and inside that is stamped on is from a Sale-a-bration collection called Softly Stippled.

Watermelon Birthday

There is a stamp set in the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog called Watercolor Melon and I have used some of the stamps on this card. There are no sentiments in set, just images, but it will be a fun one to play around with.

I started with some card stock layers - Flirty Flamingo, Crumb Cake and Crushed Curry - and then added a piece of the Merry Bold and Bright designer series paper. Next, the circle layers are made with the 2 1/4" and 2 3/8" punches.
