My grandfather was an avid fisherman and built a cabin on Jan Lake in Northern Saskatchewan, 50 miles west of Flin Flon, Manitoba. The city of Flin Flon was named after Josiah Flintabbatey Flonatin. Here’s a picture of him shown below.

It took our family about 20 hours to drive from our home to Flin Flon and it was such a welcome sight to see the statue of Flintabbatey Flonatin and know we were almost at our destination! I have so many fond memories of the several weeks I spent at Jan Lake during the summers of my youth. There were Walleye and Northern Pike in Jan Lake. We always hoped to catch the Walleye. My Grandpa did indeed wear a fishing vest like you can see below. There were never fish in his fishing vest, however. 🙂

I love the Gone Fishing Bundle, but would buy it just to get the “Happy Retirement” stamp.

Video and Free Tutorial pdf

Here’s my video with measurements and directions to make this card. Here’s a free pdf to make the same fun fold, but not a tackle box. If you subscribe to my blog here, I give a free tutorial with every newsletter. You can order from my online store and see all the products I used to make this card at the bottom of this post.

Gone Fishing Vest

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is the New 2023-2025 In Colors. We hope you will be inspired by all the creations the Pals share with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/gone-fishing-vest #stampingmom, #bethmccullough, #sharestampinup, #cute&simple4u, #stampinup, #bright&happy #happy #cardmaking #papercrafting

My favorite new In Color is Boho Blue. Boho Blue pairs nicely with Night of Navy. I just received my new Gone Fishing Bundle and wanted to make a fishing vest. That’s how I came up with this card for the Pals Blog Hop. I proudly showed my card to my husband, Steve, and he said guys don’t carry dead fish in their fishing vests and the vests are usually beige. I don’t make beige cards, I make bright and happy cards and the fish signal to the card recipient that it’s a fishing vest. So having used all the creative license I could muster, I left the card exactly how it was. So what do you think, is Steve right or are you on my side? You can leave me a comment as I’d love to hear your opinion (and have you back me up!).

Back to the new In Colors, I also used Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat. I consider all the new In colors except Boho Blue awesome complimentary colors, but for my cards they probably won’t be the main event.

Here’s the inside of the card, it opens like a gatefold card. I used the Countryside Corners and 1/16″ strips to make the pockets. You can see all the products I used to make this card at the bottom of my post. At the beginning of my live video last night I showed this card and talked about how I made it. You can check if out of you’re interested.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on July 12th, when our theme will be CASE the Catalog, when the design team chooses a card from the new Annual Catalog and recreates it with their own creative twist.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

My husband, Steve, helped design this Father’s Day card. Steve is an amazing father to our four adult kids and I wanted to make him a special card to celebrate. Can you guess where I got the white buttons? They are dies from the Crafting with You dies.

Measurements & Details

  • 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Blueberry Bushel CS scored at 4-1/4″
  • 3-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ Glorious Gingham DSP
  • 1-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ Blueberry Bushel CS cut in half diagonally
  • 1-5/8″ x 3-3/8″ Basic White CS cut in half diagonally
  • Buttons- Crafting with you dies
  • Pocket- 4th largest Country Side Corners dies
  • I scored lines on the pocket for extra detail

You can order from my online store and see all the products I used at the bottom of this post. If you are interested in the stories from my life, they are at the bottom also.

I cased the blue and white card from this one that I made four years ago. This card had actual buttons on it. I like the stitching on the green card, but couldn’t find a current die to replicate that.
