BEST CATCH SERIES - Part 4 - Solid CS Backgrounds

These A2 size cards feature the Best Catch Stamp Set and coordinating Catch of the Day Thinlits Dies from Stampin' Up!

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store

The standard bottom mat is cut from a piece of Calypso Coral CS.  The standard top mat was cut from Whisper White CS and embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder.

The net is from the Under the Sea Framelits and cut from  Crumb Cake CS.  The fish, hook, and basket were cut from Whisper White CS with dies from Catch of the Day Thinlits. The grasses, are also from Catch of the Day Thinlits and were cut from Pear Pizzazz CS.

The fish, hook, "grasses", and basket were colored with Calypso Coral, Soft Suede, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, and Mango Melody Stampin' Blend Sets.

To assemble the card, I began by gluing the grasses to the top mat, then the net, and then the basket - all with Tombow Glue.

I glued a piece of twine to the back of the hook and glued it to the card base.

The fish was popped up with Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set and was stamped with Calypso Coral Ink and popped up with Dimensionals.

The top mat was attached to the bottom mat and then the completed piece was attached to the White Card Base, all with Tape Runner.


The standard bottom mat on this second card is cut from Calypso Coral CS.  The standard top mat was cut from Old Olive CS.

The pieces were all cut from Whisper White CS using the Catch of the Day Thinlits Dies and were colored with Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends.

The sentiment is from the March 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit - May Good Things Grow and was stamped in Old Olive Ink on Whisper White CS.

To assemble this card I started by gluing the 2 grasses to the top mat with Tombow Glue.  The I attached a piece of Burlap Ribbon on top, using Tape Runner.

The fish, basket and sentiment were all popped up with Dimensionals.
Then I added a few adhesive backed Sequins.

The top mat was attached to the bottom mat and then the completed piece was attached to a White Card Base, all with Tape Runner.
