Hi everyone! Here’s two more cards in the birthday series postage cards I’ve been making!
My husband is a big fisherman and he’s hooked several of our grandsons on fishing! So I got out my stash of fishing products and used part of them on these cards.
One grandson just celebrated his HAPPY 16th birthday. The big drivers license one! YAY! The other one celebrated his 17th birthday. We make a little bit bigger deal out of the 16th birthdays because it’s some what of a landmark so they get more cash for it. lol
I’m going to link up the products that are available in stores below.
Better At the Lake is a die from Impressions Obsession, DIE701-F. Maybe you can find it in the FB sale groups or on eBay.
The fishing stamps are from a stamp set by Marcella Hawley, Flourishes Stamps. It says 2011 on the label. I searched her name and found her website now…some digital images HERE.
The fishing pole is from a die set that I saw someone else use. The packaging says Globeland Fishing Em…. It’s been so long ago, I don’t remember where I bought it. I’ll link to one below but just know it’s not the one I used but it would probably work…maybe even better!
The cards just didn’t quite look finished so I had to make a bobber for the end of the line! I LOVE that touch of red! I made it with punches and the little hook is from a Karen Burniston set that I’ll link below.
The Every Day sentiment is from a Karen Burniston set also, it’ll be below.
An A7 Hammermill Color copy 100# Cover for the white cardbase and the white postage collage die cut.
I die cut the A7 Postage Collage Block die in black and in white. I used the shapes from the white to stamp and ink on and the frame from the black for the mat layer.
Linking to the following card challenges…
Pick 3 #6 – frame, ink blending and sentiment
Inkspirational #371 – Summer Vibe
Try it on Tuesday – Animals, real or imaginary
