Fishing you a Happy Birthday Pat!

 It was Pat's Birthday, he loves fishing, so I made him a 'fishy' card from papers found years back in PaperCraft Inspirations.  It's a start on using up the Crafty Stuff I have...although the die cuts on this card are new to me (They just reeled themselves into my basket!) The papers are still freebies, at Gathered, although they've changed their website and it's now quite honestly, pretty rubbish....it jumps about all over the place. You have to sign in, and it says it will send you an email to verify, but I never got one. But I did get in, in the end.

 

Anyway! back to the card! I started off with two black cards, one smaller than the other and made one of my favourite folds, but this time, instead of cutting one side the larger card in half, I folded it back to make a pocket. Seen below there's a purple tag showing, that's where I put the Gift Card. He also got a cap with 'Fish Whisperer' on it (try saying that ten times fast!)

These papers also had the big fish I used on one of Pat's other Birthday Cards and the link to those fishing papers on that post, still works. this LINK to the paers might work too.

This is the back of the card, it was supposed to be the front, that's why it has the extra purple layer. Never mind, it still works! I don't use the papers that used to come with the magazines, I keep those in ring binders with a link to my laptop, so I can print them out. Most mags now send you to their website to hunt out the freebies...These were printed on 120gsm and 160gsm. Well that's it from me for now. Thank you for stopping by and I fish you a great weekend!
