Beach Bag and Fish Cards

Happy July 4th! Tracy  here today and  I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday.

Today is my turn at SVG Attic and when I saw this new collection

Grab The Bait, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

We have a family reunion/ lake trip planned for later this week and I  thought it would be fun to have some little handouts or favors.

To start with I turned the Creel 3D flat Gift Bag into a beach bag.  

The paper is from Echo Park and I just love all the bright colors.

I think I will fill the bag with Fish Crackers; it will be a perfect gift for the little ones!

I love the little magnetic fish in this kit...

... so I turned them into cards.

Its very easy to do, just decide if you want them to open from the side or the bottom, then mirror a copy of the offset base and weld.  

I was able to delete some of the pieces since they didn't need to be as thick and heavy as the magnetic fish.

For the blue fish I cut part from blue glitter paper and for the smaller orange fish I used printed paper.

I am really happy with how these turned out and think I will make the rest of the fish.  

They will make cute cards that can be tied to more  goody bags.

Be sure to get you kit here and if you need the tutorial, Jody has made it so easy, just follow the instructions here.

Thank you again for joining me.

Gone Fishing ~ with Cyndy G

Good morning thank you for stopping by.  I am sharing a project with you from SVG Attic, JGW Gone Fishing.

With Father's day right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about what you want to make Dad.  This cute little tackle box and card are super cute and easy to put together.

I used some of my favorite go to crafting supplies - 

Graphic 45, Good Ol Sport and 

Trendy Twine, Lemon Peppermint.  

I hope you will stop by our Facebook page and 

share your projects with us :)

Fishing Fun

Fishing Fun For  Fathers  Everyone!

My dad was an outdoors man!  He loved it, year around he was outside.  

His favorite was fishing.

He taught his sons to fish.

He took my mom fishing on their honeymoon.

He also taught his 4 girls to fish.

When I grew up, I married a fisherman and he has taught not only our son but our 5 daughters as well to love the sport.

When I saw these fishing files I just couldn't resist making them.

This fishing vest is great for fathers day, birthday (or even mother's day?) 

It is a large card with lots of fun details and even comes with its own envelope.

Add some brads for the buttons and a little kite string tied to the hooks.

Perfect!

Lets see I need one for my husband, one for my father-in-law and one for my son-in-law.

The jumping fish box is made for a gift card but it is big enough to fill  with some

hooks, lures, fishing line,  or other small gift.

I love all the layers that make the fish look so realistic.  

Both of the files can be found at SVG Attic in the  JGW Gone Fishing Kit.

To finish it all off how about a fun fishing hat that is actually a box.

The hat comes with a blank tag or one that says dad.

It can be filled with goodies or another small gift.

The 3D fishing hat can be found at Snapdragon Snippets or in the Silhouette Store. 

I hope you will try one of these files for your favorite fisherman (er- person).

Fisherman Canister ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday!  It is raining here again in beautiful NC but that is OK because that means it's a great day for crafting.  Today I am sharing The Fisherman Canister from JGW Summer Canisters.  I just love all the canisters and this one is no exception.  He is so cute and has so many accessories.

All of these guys have so much character.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Do what inspires you,
