Let's Go Fishing, Darling Details, Masculine Birthday Cards, Stampin' Up!

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another masculine card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest but was unable to find any instructions on how it was made. So I had to guess. You can see the original card here. Pleaser read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Mossy Meadow card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I took a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla card stock and taped it to the inside.

Next I took a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Let's Go Fishing" 12" x 12" package. I taped that to the front of the card.

Then I cut a 3" x 3" piece of DSP from the same package. I was a bit hesitant about cutting this piece because this is where I get the fish I fussy cut. Then then I looked at the sheet and I still had over a half a sheet plus I have another whole one, so I cut it. I was thinking about buying another pack of this DSP but after realizing I still have a full sheet, I think I will be passing on the purchase. I'm sure I will find something else to buy! Always do! LOL Anyway, I cut a 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Crumb Cake card stock for the layer. I took my Blending Brush and scrubbed on some Pecan Pie ink. I tried Crumb Cake ink and thought it was too light but the Pecan Pie was a bit dark. So you can pick whichever one you think looks best. Try it out on a scrap piece of the DSP first. I also added some color to the edges of the DSP . Then I taped the DSP to the layer.

I had some burlap type ribbon for the front, it measured about 5". I took two strands of linen thread and tied a knot around the burlap ribbon closer to the left side. Then I taped the ends of the ribbon to the back of the square piece. And then that piece was glued to the front of the card. I opted for glue because I knew that would hold the ribbon down for a very long time!

The words are from the "Darling Details" set and were stamped using Pecan Pie ink. I fussy cut around them and then set them in place using small Dimensionals. And the card was done.

Another quick and easy card to make. A super easy layout. This was a fun card to make but I don't think I will make another one using this DSP because I want to save my fish for fussy cutting on other cards.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's masculine birthday card,
