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.
