This is a great masculine card for Valentine's Day or any other occasion if you remove the heart! My husband is an avid fly fisherman and this is perfect for giving him a gift card from his favourite tackle store!
Instructions:
Start with one of Stampin' Up!'s regular note cards & envelope.
Cut 1-3/4" off the note card and round the corners using a Detailed Trio
Punch (or the Envelope Punch Board).
Take a lighter piece of
Wood Textures designer series paper and cut two pieces, 4-7/8" x
3-3/8" and 4-7/8" x 1-5/8". Round the corners on the top half of
each piece. On the wider piece, use a Sponge Brayer to roll some Flirty
Flamingo ink along the top edge, gradually lightening as you move down. Do the
same with the smaller piece using Balmy Blue ink.
On the wider piece with
the Flirty Flamingo ink, stamp the fisherman from the Best Catch stamp set at
the top left in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink..
Using a Mossy Meadow
Stampin' Write marker, colour the edges of the note card. You can also use a
Stampin' Blends but this will leak through to the back of your card.
Alternatively, you can cut an equivalent sized piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock
to use instead of the white note card. Glue down the DSP pieces to the card.
Put two strips of Tear & Tape on the sides of the bottom part of the card.to
close up the part that will hold your gift card. Leave the top open to hold
your gift card.
Stamp the fish onto a
piece of Whisper White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Colour it in with
Stampin Blends in Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue and Old Olive. Cut the fish out
using Catch of the Day Thinlits and a Big Shot machine, or fussy cut it if you
don't want the white edge.
Stamp the sentiment on
a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock in Versamark ink. Emboss with White Stampin'
Emboss powder and melt with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the
small Rectangle Stitched Framelit and the Big Shot. Cut a small heart from the
Be Mine Stitched Framelits out of Flirty Flamingo cadstock.
Wrap Burlap Ribbon
around the lower part of the card and adhere it under where the sentiment will
go. Adhere the sentiment, fish and heart, using Stampin' Dimensionals, onto the
lower part of the card so that the gift card can be slipped into the slot
behind them. If desired, cut a 5-1/4" x 2" piece of Wood Textures DSP
and adhere it to the envelope flap using Snail or Multi-purpose Glue. Trim
around the flap with Snips. Stamp the fly in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto the
flap.
