National Fishing Day Card


I have joined a national holidays group on IG and on June 18th, it's National Fishing Day. Who knew?

I created this easel card for hubby's friend who is an avid fisherman. He had surgery a few weeks ago and whenever hubby asks for a card, I make one!


I purchased this stamp and die set called Cozy Bear Boater from Trinity Stamps at the Expo. It was a clearance item and I snagged it!



Watch the process video showing how these bears, etc were colored using alcohol markers.


To create this simple easel card, score a 5.5x8.5" piece of cardstock at 4.25" and then on the 2 1/8 on the front. Fold in towards the inside of the card. Add patterned papers on each side of the score line. (5 1/4 x 1 7/8)

Adhere the embellished oval to the bottom half of the card front. Make sure to only add adhesive to the bottom half. 

Add a sentiment or embellishment (I used the tackle box) about an inch from the inside bottom edge. This keeps the image up and creates the easel.

Our friend always comments on my creations when I post so I know he'll be excited to get this.
