Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Fishing Birthday Card using the Gone Fishing Bundle which includes the Gone Fishing Stamp Set and the Gone Fishing Dies by Stampin’ Up! I am so happy that this set is carrying over to the new Annual Catty!

The Details of My Fishing Birthday Card

This past weekend was my Father-in-law’s birthday and I decided to create a fun pop-up card with this bundle! I had a lot of fun decorating my tackle box and the front of the card! 

Front of My Card

For the front of my card, I decided to use the tool box frame die and cut different pieces of DSP that represented my fishing theme. I used 4 different pieces of DSPs to fill the openings and the frame was from one of them being turned over.

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Let’s celebrate you!” from the Celebrate with You Tags Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight, die cut it with the Nested Essential Dies and matted it with a piece of Pebbled Path. The red/white baker’s twine was from my stash which I tied in a fun knot.

The die cut fishing rod from the retired Rugged Icon Dies was perfect for the theme of my card! So, I couldn’t resist using it and die cut it in the Galvanized Metallic Paper. I also cut it a second time so that I would have a Real Red fish to add interest.

A few fishing lures die cut in silver foil and a round float finished off the front of my card.

Inside of My Card

I had a lot of fun creating the inside of my card with the fun pop-up! If you want to learn how to make the pop-up mechanism, Rachel Tessman has a video.

Once I built my tackle box, I stamped and decorated it with the different pieces that come with the Gone Fishing Dies including another round float, lures, hooks, and all paraphernalia that a fisherman may need! Lol!

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” from the Celebrate with You Tags Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight on Very Vanilla card stock and placed it on the top half of the inside of the card.
