Let's Go Fishing Masculine Card with No Fish!

July 24, 2023

The Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper is beautiful and it's great for masculine cards. I have for you today using the paper, but there are no fish on this card. I don't know any fisher people, but I do know guys. They all have birthdays! Yes, I know there are girls that would love this card, too.

The base of this card is Night of Navy cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score and fold at 4 1/4.

Pick two patterns of the Let's Go Fishing paper and cut to 1 x 4 1/8. These patterns repeat. Glue the two end pieces first. Use your Grid Paper to help determine the center of the card. Add that piece. Now the remaining pieces will go in the center between the end and the middle.

Use the Alphabet a la Mode dies for the letters in BIRTHDAY. Add some of the Adhesive Sheets to one side of the Night of Navy cardstock. This will turn the letters into stickers. Place these on a strip of the diagonal stripe designer paper that is 2 1/4 inches wide. Use the largest tag from the Tailor Made Tags dies. Leave room at the end of the tag with the hole before beginning the letters. The letters extend beyond the tag die. You will need to extend the space.

Lay the die on the designer paper to cut the hole end of the tag. Only lay the top clear plate part way so that the other end of the tag will not cut. Now move the die so that it will include all of the letters. You will feel the stitches fall in place with the die. This time place the clear plate past the top of the tag so that only the end will cut. Here's a video to show how to lengthen the tag.
