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!

  • Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!


    If you struggle to get a smooth blend I have a few suggestions for you.  We made this striking card at a class this weekend.  Everyone loved it and they all turned out fabulous!

    Details:

    • The colors here are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler; with a bit of gold glitz thrown in.
    • The leaves are die-cut from the Intricate Leaves dies seen here. 
    • The greeting is from the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set in the Holiday catalog. I love this greeting!  See it here.

    Here are some tips & suggestions for perfect Ombre' blending:

    • Use out Blending Brushes; they really do make a smooth blend easier.
    • Choose colors that are similar in hue. For instance blues and greens, or yellows to reds.  
    • Blend over a Decorative Mask – see them all here.  The patterned stencils/masks seem to break up any inconsistencies in your blending. 
    • Here I added color onto Crumb Cake card stock; that also helps and would be a a good color to practice on. 
    • I start out with the lightest color and work my way downward; in this case at an angle.  
    • I leave a tiny space between colors and make sure to blend/connect them by going into the previous color just a bit before moving.

  • Neat Fun Fold – Diagonal ‘Faux’ Pocket card!


    I made this unique fun-fold card on Monday night's FB Live.  It was Stamp with Me night; the 2nd & 4th Monday's of each month here on my FB page.  You can see all of my videos here on my YouTube channel. 

    Isn't it pretty?!  This paper is called Blackberry Beauty and it's filled with Gold accents on each sheet.  You can see it here.  It's also featured in my August card kit to go here and PDF tutorial here.  

    The greetings are from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set in the Annual catalog; one of my favorites for greetings.  See it here. The printed die-cuts are from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera pack seen here. 

    The card below is the same fold; but made with the gorgeous Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper.  These colors are Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, White and gold accents.

    Below are the measurements for you.  I highly recommend you watch the video below; it will make it much easier to make. 

    And here is the video; I hope you watch it.  You will love making these unique cards!
