Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing Birthday Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing bundle is one of the best ever for making cards for fishing fanatics! The two-step stamping makes it real easy to create cute fishing tackle and the tackle box dies are fabulous. I stamped some tackle and paired it with the wonderful Lets Go Fishing designer series paper for a simple Z-Fold birthday card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

After folding the Very Vanilla card base, I adhered panels of Let’s Go Fishing Designer series paper to Pebbled Path mats and adhered each panel to a section of the card base. I used a different pattern for each section to show off this pretty DSP.

I cut a Misty Moonlight panel with the 4th largest Deckled Rectangles die and cut another DSP pattern with the 5th largest die. I adhered them together and adhered it to the front flap with liquid glue. I stamped the bobber, fly and lure from the Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Very Vanilla. I stamped the bottom of the bobber in Real Red and the inside of the lure in Granny Apple Green and colored the fly with light Misty Moonlight and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends. I cut them all out with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink and cut it out with the small label die from the Something Fancy dies. I adhered it to the card with glue dots. I poked a hole in the top of the bobber and tied some fishing line to it and wrapped it around the back. I popped the bobber on the card front with dimensionals and finished with Misty Moonlight Tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I cut a plain panel of Let’s Go Fishing DSP with the 4th largest Deckled Rectangles die and adhered it to the inside panel I cut the silver lure from foil and adhered the lures and fly to the side with glue dots.

The Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing bundle has so many different and great pieces of fishing tackle stamps and you can make just a few of them to add to the pretty Let’s Go Fishing DSP for a simple card that is really pretty. Or you can go all out and make a tackle box card like the one I made for Father’s Day here.

Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing Father’s Day Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing bundle is such a fun set and I love the dies that look like a tackle box. My father loved fishing and this is the Father’s Day card that I would have loved to make for him. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I am also entering my card into the Card Concept Nature Calls Challenge:

I cut the tackle box from Pebbled Path card stock using the dies from the Stampin Up! Gone Fishing dies. I adhered the background die to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with liquid glue and the tray with bits of dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing photopolymer stamp set in Wild Wheat on Very Vanilla and cut it out with the tackle box tray die (I just cut a portion but you can cut out the whole tray with a larger card stock panel). I adhered the label to the card in the corner section of the tackle box with liquid glue. I stamped the lures, bobber and fly in Real Red, Crushed Curry, Gray Granite and Old Olive on Basic White and cut them out with their corresponding dies. I used the light Real Red Stampin’ Blend to color the hook on the fly.

I cut the weights from Smoky Slate and the large lure and hooks from silver foil. I cut the two angle bobber dies from Basic white and Real red and adhered them with liquid glue. I stamped the feather in Mossy Meadow and Boho Blue on Vellum and cut them out with a die and paper snips. I adhered one to the fly with a glue dot. I adhered the tackle to the sections of the tackle box with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card font with rustic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing stamp set in Wild Wheat on Very Vanilla. I stamped the bobber in Real Red and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The tackle box cards are so fun (and pretty easy too!) to make and fill using the Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing bundle. It’s fun to stamp the lures in different colors – they’re two step stamping, so they come out real nice! And this would also be a wonderful way to make a unique card for a woman who loves fishing! But for now, it’s a wonderful idea for a Father’s Day card for the Dad who takes his kids fishing!
