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!! 

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!

  • Softly Sophisticated fun-fold card with free project sheet to save & download


    Here's the other fun fold card I shared on last week's Live video.  See the other one here. 

    I chose to feature the new Softly Sophisticated bundle from our 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    See this pretty bundle here. Both the stamp set & embossing folder are free with any $100 purchase through February. 

    It might not look like a fun fold card, but the front main layers open instead of the entire card like this: 

    The colors include Bubble Bath, White and Lost Lagoon.  During my video I shared another one with Boho Blue instead.  It all depends on which sheet of the beautiful Flight & Airy designer paper you choose!  

    Did you wonder which dies I used on the designer paper and the greeting label?  They're the Thoughtful Expressions dies – one of my new favorites.  See them here. 

    See this pretty Flight & Airy designer paper here.  It's free with any $50 purchase through February; while supplies last.  Don't delay if you want it! I suspect this will be one of the firsts to sell out…. 

    I love Sale-a-Bration where you can earn free products!  See it all here. 

    Below is the video you can watch to see this card and another special fun fold card.  Don't forget to follow me on YouTube!

  • A unique fun-fold card with Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder tips with video & free project sheet


    For last week's video I highlighted the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder.  Once I used it I was hooked!  It's fast & easy!  I hope you watch the video here or below; you'll be amazed! 

    The cards today are both unique fun folds that can easily include a gift card option.  

    This card features Misty Moonlight, White & Fresh Freesia. The pretty paper is the Flight & Airy designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with a $50 order.  See it here. 

    Here's how the card opens. See the gift card inserted into the left side pocket?  It's so easy to make – a simple cut on the front layer up to the score line. Then adhere the outer and lower sides to form a pocket.  

    I cased this card from my friend Susie Wood; she is a master designer of fun fold cards.  See here blog here; she usually posts measurements and great directions. 

    Here's her original card she sent me: 

    I lover her style so much! She used the Poetic Expressions designer paper and the gorgeous Thoughtful Expressions bundle; both from the 2024 Spring catalog. 

    Notice I changed the side I cut the gift card on; see the difference in the two cards below?  I wanted to see how it worked and it is just fine either way. 

    I used the new brayer to add ink to the folder, added the large die, then white card stock before I ran it through my Cut & Emboss machine. I got a nice handful of inked and embossed greetings! It's so very cool; I hope you watch the video!! 

    This Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder comes with a set of dies too.  See it here.

    I made the pretty card below during the video. 

    My colors include Pebbled Path, White & Petal Pink.  The pretty papers are from the Softly Stippled designer paper seen here, also in the 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with any $50 purchase from Stampin' Up! through  February; or while supplies last.  

    The floral paper I used is originally white with Pebbled Path; I added Petal Pink ink to the flowers with a sponge dauber. 

    Note the layered scalloped labels under the double-layered greeting.  These are from the Thoughtful Expressions dies seen here.  They're a gorgeous set of dies you will want to consider. Originally I did not get the coordinating stamp set, but I did order it now because I've seen so many beautiful samples using it.  We're all enablers! 

    Below is a sample of the many ways you can ink the greetings.  I cannot say how much I love this folder & dies bundle!

    Details on these die-cuts seen above:

    • The top two in bold Pebbled Path were embossed and cut from White paper. After I cut and embossed them I rolled the inked brayer over them very, very lightly. *see video!
    • Celebrate & Thank you with a thin inking were done by inking the folder with the brayer, adding the die and White card stock, then running it through the Cut & Emboss machine. *it cuts and inks at the same time; with one pass! 
    • The Love You was done with both of the above techniques. Pebbled Path inside the folder and afterwards I brayered Petal Pink over the raised area.  

    Below is the video you can watch to see these techniques using this amazing Hybrid embossing folder in action.  Don't forget to follow me on YouTube!
