Today’s card features the Gone Fishing Bundle and the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper. I found the basic instructions for this card on Rachel Tessman’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfeEUPZGsT4 (she does such amazing things I have been following her for a long time and just love her style) and knew I wanted to recreate it. She had made a Father’s Day card with the set that was a pop-up tackle box but I wanted a birthday card so here is what I came up with.
I wanted to use up some of my retired
cardstock so I chose to use Sahara Sand and Soft Suede (Rachel used Early
Espresso and Crumb Cake), don’t be afraid to use up what you have on hand. For the internal mechanism it is best that you
watch Rachel’s video because it is a little complicated to try to explain here
and she does an amazing job of walking you through it.

I wanted my card to have a Designer Series
Paper front so I chose to use the DSP from Let’s Go Fishing that featured the
cute little very vanilla flies on the mossy meadow background (I cut it to 4 x
5 ¼” and rounded the bottom two corners).
I took one of the pieces left from die cutting and stamped one of the lures
onto it using Early Espresso and stamping off first, them I stamped “Happy
Birthday” from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set right over top of it. I added a little Linen Thread and popped it
up onto the card with Dimensionals. I
added one of the Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to finish off the front.
For the inside (my tackle) I stamped
several of the lures onto scraps of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black
Memento Ink, Real Red Ink, Lost Lagoon Ink, Berry Burst Ink and Lemon Lime
Twist Ink and die cut them. Next, I die
cut the little blue and white bobber out of Basic White, Sahara Sand and Night
of Navy Cardstock. I also cut out the
larger lure, two hooks and six sinkers from Silver Foil cardstock. I scattered these throughout the tackle box
adhering the sinkers directly to the paper and using Dimensionals on all the lures
to pop them up.
For my final addition I was proud to use
the sentiment “So happy to celebrate you” which is from the Layering Leaves
Stamp Set which was designed by Rachel to celebrate her Million Dollar Sales achievement. This set is my favorite of all the current
sets being offered by Stampin’ Up! The
sentiments are perfect and the font is beautiful. I stamped it onto one of the extra pieces
left from die cutting the inside of the tackle box using Early Espresso ink and
then added it back in using Dimensionals.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
