I made this A2 card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") using the new Cricut Lite Celebrate with Flourish cartridge! It's in my top 5 picks for the Cricut Lite release since it is so versatile!
I cut the "#1 Dad" and fishing rod/reel/fish combo at 3" each. It worked out since I could go ahead and angle the fishing rod. I added a silver brad where the reel goes. Fortunately, this time the fish was hooked through the mouth, as opposed to the eyes as I (mistakenly) did on the Wildlife fishing card (whoops!).
I layered the "number one dad" cut on top of the fishing rod cut for two reasons: space considerations and I thought it made a more impactful die cut!
It took awhile to decide what colors went where for the "number one dad" cut. To help figure out what to do, I first cut it in all white to see where I wanted to place things (remember, this is before the DS release). That method can help you figure out where to put things though. I use the cardstock from Walmart, found in the office supply section, for all my test cuts.
I embossed the white section using the Cuttlebug with my favorite Divine Swirls folder and ran the Martha Stewart double loop punch along the top.
Paper is from Papertrey Ink.

Love this card Joy. The colors are great, and the border punch really accents the fishing theme.

ReplyDeleteI had a border punch in my cart and then put it back. knowing I had already spent too much.. now I wish I had put something else back! at the time I just couldn't think of how to really incorporate it into most things that I do that are about racing and other guy stuff.. oh well, there will be another mega sale at a time when I actually have money to do it :o)
ReplyDeleteLove the fishing pole and fish. :0)

Fishing rod turned out nice. When you look at the fish you did the other day in DS it looks like you put it in the mouth. They don't really show where the eyes go on those fish. TFS
ReplyDeletegreat card Joy !! Love the colors thanks millierose651@aol.com
ReplyDeleteCute card, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat card!
ReplyDeleteYour design is reminding me of saltwater taffy ... why ... I have no idea! But it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the fishing pole!
ReplyDeletegreat card Joy! sounds like some of the cuts are more challenging with these lite cartridges - maybe a book with them would help or it'll make more sense when using DS.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome dad card.
ReplyDeleteAs usual your work is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI just mailed my Fathers day card today - thanks for all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteJenny Kozar
I lost my dad almost 15 years ago....no need to make this card. I always made him a card for Father's Day and his BD...from the time I could draw and use scissors until he passed...it was always a hand made card for him...I mean he was my HERO! Your card made me smile remembering him opening up his cards from me...thanks for the great memories!!!!
ReplyDeleteDad will LOVE it. I LOVE the colors ~ cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing

Terrific card...love the images and the word art...tfs!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card, Joy! Love all the detail you put into it!
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteThis card is really nice. I have a thing for using blue and turq together. I especially love all of the details and the detail on the fishing pole.
Toodles
LOve the #1 Dad with the fishing theme!!
ReplyDeleteNICE! this is a GREAT card!
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteI love your card! The colors are perfect!!! :) I did notice that the new cartridges tend to have titles that (easily) allow the letters to be in different colors. Wasn't sure I'd use them that way, but I like your choices (not as busy).
I don't know if I'm ready for another release tomorrow (way too soon!), but it will be fun to see what you made!
-Jennifer

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute man card Joy. I so hope to win some of the new cartridges.
ReplyDeleteWe have 2 superwalmarts within 3 miles of each other and they only order 4 carts each.
What are they thinking. We will never get our hands on one of them if they only get 4 each.

It will be great when the gypsy is updated for these new carts. For those with dads that don't fish it will be great to be able to use the new hide feature to remove the fish and reel.
ReplyDeleteGreat card.
Cute card. I would never have thought to do the border punch like you did for a man's card but it turned out great. I guess that is why you do what you do and I read them and learn.

Still undecided what Lite carts I want. Maybe this one?? Did find them this AM! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCute! I need to look at the cuts separately to see what all you had to do. I haven't found the carts in the store yet. I have heard that some stores are clearancing them out already and not getting more. That doesn't give us much chance to even get them.
ReplyDeleteAnother great card! Love the colors too.
