I really struggle with masculine cards but found the Frosted Forest to be super fun and fabulous for making some! What do you think?!?!

The shades of green and plaid really add to the fabulousness in this card! The paper is from the Seasons of Green and Gold Designer Paper! Perfect for the holidays and then also all year long for cards like this!

SUPPLIES & MEASUREMENTS:
~Thick Basic White Cardstock – 8 ½” x 5 ½”
~Basic White Cardstock – scrap for die cutting rectangle and tree
~Pecan Pie Cardstock – scrap for punching greeting
~Season of Green & Gold Designer Paper – 4” x 5 ¼” (plaid) and 2” x 5 ¼” (green speckles) and scraps for inside the card if you wish

CARD INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Fold card base in half. Adhere plaid Designer Paper piece to the card front. Then add the green speckles Designer Paper down the center of the card front.
2. Die cut a Deckled Rectangle or cut a rectangle (3” x 4 ¼”) and adhere to the card front.
3. On another piece of scrap Basic White, create the large tree using the masks and Blending Brushes only (no stamping). I used Pecan Pie Ink for the base/#1 mask. Garden Green Ink was used for the leaves/#2 mask and Mossy Meadow Ink for the accent leaves/#3 mask. Then die cut the tree using the coordinating Frosted Forest Dies. Add the tree to the rectangle using Stampin’ Dimensionals only in the leaves (not on the trunk).  
4. Punch out a greeting label of your choice from Pecan Pie Cardstock and stamp a greeting of your choice onto it in Pecan Pie Ink. I used the Labeled With Love Punch. Adhere to the card front over the trunk using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
5. Embellish with Faux Glass Dots as desired!
6. Stamp or decorate the inside of the card as you wish!

Normally I don’t like to die cut a lot. Punches are more my jam because it is quick and simple. Then a blue moon happens and I go crazy! LOL Count all the die cut pieces I used on this fabulous card! There are 14 all using the Gone Fishing Bundle.

SUPPLIES & MEASUREMENTS:
Pebbled Path Cardstock – 5 ½” x 8 ½” and scrap for die cutting
Mossy Meadow Cardstock – scrap for die cutting (~4 ¼” x 5 ½”)
(2) Basic Vanilla Cardstock – 4” x 5 ¼” and scrap for die cutting

CARD INSTRUCTIONS:

Die cut Mossy Meadow Cardstock with the rounded edge rectangle one from the Gone Fishing Dies for the tackle box base and add to the card front. Die cut Basic Vanilla (4” x 5 ¼”) with the tackle box outline die and adhere to the Mossy Meadow. TIP: Use all of the vanilla rectangles for the greetings on other cards.

Stamp lures, fish, and greeting of your choice onto the scrap Basic Vanilla in Pebbled Path Ink, Calypso Coral Ink, Mossy Meadow Ink, and Boho Blue Ink. The long bobber was die cut with Pebbled Path, Basic White, and Pumpkin Pie Cardstock. The hooks were done in Pebbled Path Cardstock. Adhere these to the card front in the tackle box flat or with Stampin’ Dimensionals!

While this isn’t a card I would make a lot of, it was super fun to create for someone special! If you would like to check out more cards using the Gone Fishing Bundle, check out my entire tutorial here! You can also watch the video tutorial here!
