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.  

Gone Fishing 3 Save

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. 

Gone Fishing 4 Save

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.

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. 

Gone Fishing 6 Save

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.

  • Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card

    I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background.  I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

    Kindest expressions swap. Save
    It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

    1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
    2. Paper Florist dies
    3. Countryside Corners dies
    4. Blending Brushes
    5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
    6. Embossing paste Matte finish
    7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio

    Whew!  And I didn't even list the ink and paper!  My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.

    • I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight. 
    • I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife.  Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too.  I let that dry for a few hours.
    • Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here.  I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot.  They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.

    I LOVE how they turned out.

  • Check out this ‘Tackle box’ with the Gone Fishing bundle! Amazing!!

    Today I'm sharing the last projects Candace made with the Gone Fishing and Let's Go Fishing designer paper.  She was our Artist of the Month for June and created some incredible projects!  

    I was blown away by this 'tackle box' full of candy.  She told me she made it up herself!  AMAZING!! 

    Gone Fishing box Save

    She added gummy fish & worms, kisses, candy 'rocks' and nuggets inside.  I believe she first scored her box front then used the Gone Fishing large die to cut the windows for the front panel. Scoring first would help you center the die. Then she added the window sheet to the underside.  The window sheet holds the die-cut frame and the box front in place.

    Measurements for the box: *corrected

    • top of box 6 1/4 X 7 1/2" score 1" on all sides
    • bottom of box 6 1/8" X 7 3/8" score at 1" on all sides
    • window sheet 4 1/8" X 5 1/4" 
    • left inside divider (two compartments) is 1 7/8" X 6 3/4" score at 2 3/4", 3 1/2" & 4 1/4" 
    • right inside divider (three compartments) is 2 1/8" X  8 1/4" scored at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/8", 5 7/8" & 6 5/8" 
    • inside bottom (under the two divided sections) 5 1/4" X 5 5/8" score at 1 7/8", 2 5/8" & 3 3/8"

    To assemble this you'd add the long vertical divided piece first and then the two scored strips after that.  

    I made a birthday version of this box. You can watch the video here.

    This last card is another fun fold; she made lots of them in her array of cards.  

    Gone Fishing 1 Save
    It's a pocket card that could also include a gift card inside it. Be sure to note the rhinestone 'fish bubbles' on the sentiment.  

    Gone fishing 1a Save

    I love the wavy detail she added to the inside piece; it's from the Gone Fishing dies.

    Measurements:

    • Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 3/4" & 6 3/4"
    • DSP 5 1/4" X 2 1/2" for front, bottom layer is 5 1/4" X 1"
    • Vanilla inside pull-out is 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"

    And last but certainly not least is this fabulous shaker card:

    Gone Fishing shaker Save

    It's hard to tell but the colored and stamped panel is placed in one of our clear envelopes so she could add the new Iridescent shaker circles seen here. She added Boho Blue ink to the neutral card front using a Blending Brush, then stamped the greeting and leaves. She also fussy cut the fish from the Let's Go Fishing designer series paper and added them with Dimensionals. Then came the torn card stock layer and the bobbin and linen thread. 

    Now she placed the entire piece inside a clear envelope, folded over the excess and secured it with adhesive. Now she added the shaker circles from the top open edge before closing it off to seal.  Add it to your card base layers and you're done! 

    You can see these clear envelopes here.  I use them for card swaps, storing & protecting my finished cards and of course for easy shaker cards. They're $7 for 50 envelopes! 

    This is such a fun card to make AND receive! It's hard to stop shaking it!
