Gone Fishing Mounted Fish Retirement

Do you ever buy a stamp set and then realize you haven't even inked it yet months later? That's what happened to me with Gone Fishing. I saw so many cool cards made with it and even used it for a Make & Take at one of our Stamp Shares. I had to order it, but haven't touched it since. So I decided to use it on my swaps for our March Stamp Share. I did use the now retired coordinating Designer Series Paper, but you could use another design or use the stamps to make your own. Or maybe you're like me and still have the retired paper!


The fish are fussy-cut from the paper. Some of them face right, others left.


There are different kinds of fish, too


I had a bunch of the ovals cut from another project- I thought they looked like a plaque that you would mount a trophy fish on. That's how these cards started. I also used one of the Unbounded Love Dies for the rectangle to show a current die.


A fun variety of different fish!


And some of the insides


Colors: Boho Blue, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla

And here's an all current version:


 I stamped (in Boho Blue and Old Olive), colored (with a Calypso Coral Watercolor Pencil), and die-cut the fish. The DSP is Woven Textures (Online). I added Linen Thread tied around the fold of the card for all the swaps after I took the picture, as well as on this card.

For The Books For Chase

Our son Chase had a birthday earlier this month. I thought about sharing his card right after I gave it to him, but decided to wait until I finished the cards from our January/February combined Stamp Share. So here it is! He loves to read and his favorite color is green, so this was perfect for him! I saw a similar card on Pinterest and made a few little changes. The book die is so cool! I think I need to make more of these!

Colors: Basic White, Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock
I also used the retired Double Oval Punch

Carol S's Labeled With Love Fun Fold Make & Take

Have you ever put something someplace to keep it safe, and then completely forget about it? Apparently that's what I did with Carol S's Make & Take from our December Stamp Share. I just found it in the stamp case I take with me that has adhesive, snips, and a bone folder. I think it was the only one we did that night, so I put it in the case to keep it from getting wrecked in my bag. Oops!



The snowflake is from One Of A Kind dies that are no longer available.

Colors: Basic White, Lost Lagoon

Trudi's Hearts Of Elegance Triple Easel Take & Make

Trudi did one of our Take & Makes for our January/February Stamp Share. I'm really glad she had us make this version in November so I could look at it and remember how it goes together. It's not really hard, just a matter of putting the pieces in the right places.




Colors: Basic White, Real Red

The hearts that look like they have score lines on them are actually two hearts folded in half and glued together so the middle layer where they're glued sticks up.
