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!!
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.
You can see the Gone Fishing bundle here.
This last card is another fun fold; she made lots of them in her array of cards.
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.
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:
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!
