Hooked on Father’s Day

Thus far, I’ve showcased the Pansy Patch set from the new catalog. This week we’ll be taking a look at the Gone Fishing Suite. June is a busy month in our family between Father’s Day and birthdays, and this set will be perfect!

The Gone Fishing Suite includes the stamps, dies, designer paper, and the Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder. (Buy the suite here) For this design, I used the stamps, dies, and paper. I included jute ribbon in the background to give the look of netting and add a little visual interest. The center panel is popped up on dimensionals to ensure it stood out against the patterned paper, and the fishing tackle elements are also layered on dimensionals for visual interest.

I’m really loving this set so far and can’t wait to show you more designs with this suite all this week!

Pansy Paper Piecing

As promised, today’s design features the Pansy Patch dies. The focal image of this card is 100% diecut from cardstock. I wanted to create a realistic focal image and selected a pansy variety that had pink, purple, and yellow hues and used the inspiration photo to guide my color cardstock selections.

Although the paper pieces are on the larger side, the width of the detailed pieces is narrow enough to make traditional adhesive runners a less than ideal choice for adhering the layers together. In cases such as these, I turn to one of two adhesives—the fine-tip glue pen or adhesive sheets. In this case, I elected to use the glue pen and it worked beautifully!

Patch of Pansies

The long-awaited first batch of new SU! product arrived late this afternoon, and I’m just getting the opportunity to sit down and have a little crafting time. Knowing that I had two sympathy cards in the queue, I decided to start with the Pansy Patch stamps and dies. The stamps layer beautifully to create realistic-looking blossoms, and the dies cut snugly around each stamped image for a fussy-cut-free design. The die set also includes dies that paper piece blossoms and stems. Check back tomorrow to see the result!
