Gone Fishing pinwheel fun fold

Stampin'UP! has a fun outdoorsy masculine stamp and die bundle in their current catalog called Gone Fishing, with a corresponding Designer Series Paper pack too. I had fun creating a card with it at my friend's card class recently and wanted to share this neat fun fold:

The card base is simply a 4.25" x 5.5"panel of card stock. The neat part of course is the pinwheel fold. And when you open the pinwheel, this is what you see inside:

It’s always a bit tricky figuring out how to close up the pinwheel…LOL Bit isn’t that sentiment just perfect?? The lure is die cut from silver foil card stock and the fish is fussy cut out from the DSP…

And no, there isn’t any space to write much of a personalized message on the front of the card. But you can write on the back. Know anyone who would LOVE this card? Or who loves fishing in general? Then this stamp bundle is made for you! Contact me if you'd like help ordering it..

have an awesome day and thanks for stopping by!

Mountains and waterways

Doesn’t this card make you think of a weekend escape to a lake in a remote area? Mountains and a pretty lake, clear water and lots of evergreen conifers! Maybe you’ll go boating…kayaking or paddle boarding? A quiet afternoon of fishing from a small boat? Or just sit by the lake with a good book…

This card is made using the Waterfront stamp set. And the sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical stamp set. “Rest and relax”…definitely!

Other than the sentiment, this entire card is stamped on a single layer of Basic White card stock. The mat is Old Olive, as is the ink for the trees. The mountains are stamped in Baked Brown Sugar (retired) but you can use Crumb Cake or any brown ink. The water was inked up with Pool Party, stamped off once then stamped onto the card, Pacific Point and Night of Navy then give it depth. The sun is stamped in Daffodil Delight and the birds and sentiment were stamped with black Stazon ink. And inside, I’ve stamped the same trees as on the card front:

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you liked today’s card and are inspired to create your own peaceful scene.
