Amazing Let’s Go Fishing projects by Candace, our Artist of the month


I hope you're enjoying the 4th of July today.  We celebrated yesterday and today is a quiet day to catch up on things around the house.

I am excited to show you these projects!  Candace was our Artist of the Month and chose to use the Gone Fishing bundle seen here.  The dies are currently unavailable but should be back in stock any day now. 

I will share her projects this week, through Friday. 

Here's the first card; it's a special fun fold card with a greeting on a flap. The flap is secured under the DSP strip on the right inside of the card.  

I love the added fish and wavy trim she added. Her colors include Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and Vanilla.  

Measurements:

  • Mossy Meadow card base 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", strip for flap 4" X 1" scored at 1", circle is 3 1/2" 
  • Let's Go Fishing DSP 2 3/4" X 5" & 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" inside
  • Calypso Coral 3" X 5 1/4"
  • Vanilla inside 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", circle 2 1/8" 

This next card shows off the amazing Gone Fishing dies that are included in the bundle.  Look at the many details – lures & bobbins galore all in the fabulous large frame die-cut that mimics a tackle box. 

The colors include Boho Blue, Smoky Slate, Misty Moonlight, Real Red, White and a bit of Calypso Coral and Lemon Lime Twist. 

She even added inside stripes using designer paper and card stock, perfect for guys. 

You can see the Gone Fishing bundle here. 

Next is a fun 'inchie' style card.  She cut out 12 squares of the Let's Go Fishing designer paper seen here and added them to a Misty Moonlight layer. 

The squares of designer paper are 1 1/4" each. The Boho Blue layer is 5 1/4" X 4".  She used the Stylish Shapes dies for her greeting.  Love the frayed Natural Wavy trim on the greeting. 

Here's what she did with the inside. 

Below you can see all of her incredible projects. There's such a variety and I'll share details on each fabulous card in the next few days. 

I'll share more of her amazing projects Thursday.  Stop back in!

  • Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!


    Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!  


    I think it's stunning.  Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut.  I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas.  Easy!  

    I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce.  Who knew?!  So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.  

    Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors.  Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.  

    I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings.  I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.  

    I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting.  Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.  

    Here are the Gorgeous Garden dies. 

    I made these cards on a recent video seen here.  Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • More Earthen Textures card ideas


    Here is another simple but pretty card I made on last week's Live video. 

    It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

    I'm not quite ready for fall yet but I do love this color combination of Pecan Pie & Pretty Peacock.  A little touch of gold adds some elegance with the Gold Distressed paper and Festive Pearls.  I added more detail with a stitched edge with the Stitched with Whimsy dies. That notebook die-cut edge is from the Gorgeously Made dies seen here.  

    And here's a very simple version with a similar layout: 

    I didn't even add any bling or embellishments to this one.  I think it needs something… maybe gold pearls? 

    I stamped the vase in Pecan Pie on Basic White and die-cut it out.  Then added another die-cut of the handles from our Gold Distressed paper. The greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Pretty Peacock card stock. 

    The nice thing about this layout is you can get 5 card fronts from one 8 1/2" X 11" paper when using my 5 at a time layouts.  See them here on this post. 

    You can see more Earthen Textures cards on the video here.  Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning.  Or follow me on YouTube here.

  • Alcohol blends technique with video tutorial


    I shared this fun technique on a recent video; I call it the Alcohol Blends Background.  

    For the cards above I added pretty floral die-cuts from the Paper Florist dies.  The greetings are from the Kindest Expressions stamp set.  The background colors were made with the following Blends: Left card Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist. Right card was Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss.  

    To achieve this cool background you need Blends or alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer bottle. I used regular Basic White card stock and a clear plastic folder to work on. You can watch the video here.  

    I tried many color combinations; you can see some of the finished cards below plus the backgrounds too. 

    I shared this technique on Monday night's Live and challenge my followers to share a card featuring this technique on my Stamp & Share Facebook group.  Share yours here by August 27th to get in on the door prize drawing.
