Fishing Vest Gift Bag
This is just a project that I created to jazz up a very boring gift bag for my dad. I don't like buying wrapping paper or gift bags at a high price, so I get them on sale and use my creativity to jazz them up. For this gift bag I used the free fisherman's vest file from SVGCuts.
I embossed different parts of the vest, used brown chalk around it and added real buttons to make it even more unique. For the fishing pole I went out into my yard and found the perfectly curved stick :) I added the twine, bobber and lure to finish it off. The papers are from K&Company.
I really like how it turned out and I hope you do too!
Have a wonderfully crafty day!

Beth...your fishing vest gift bag is such a clever idea and one that I'm sure people will use for Father's Day. Love your colors and the papers you've chosen. So cute yet not "girly". Love the little bobber hanging from the pole. I love dimensional, interactive things on pieces! Very cute, original gift bag! Thanks for sharing it with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
ReplyDeleteA lovely card, thanks for sharing.

Wonderfully decorated gift bag! Great embossing! Thanks for sharing with us at My Sheri Crafts!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool fisherman's vest. I don't know much about SVG cuts. What cutting machine do you use?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, may I Post a link to your card on my Manly Monday blog post? I share links to masculine cards with my readers. Many card makers find guy cards challenging. Your card would be a perfect addition to the cards I already have set for this Monday. Do let me know if that is OK with you. Thanks
Cindy
That is just fine...I sent you an email!
DeleteAwesome masculine card, Beth. Thank you for joining us at the Clear It Out Challenge Blog. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteBeth, I meant to ask you about the challenge list you have and how the past ones are crossed off. Is this done with code or do you do it manually?
DeleteI came back again to thank you (since I don't have the reply feature on my blog) .. for both the compliment on my freebie sentiment as well as for answering my question. I will let you know if I find anything automated. Have a great weekend! :-)

Great card-- LOVE that tiny little bobber would love to know where that is from! Thank you so much for creating with us at CardzTV!
ReplyDeleteI had the bobber in my stash from a few years ago when I bought a variety bobber pack from Wal-Mart. LOL! Not very helpful am I! The diameter is approx. 3/4 inch.
DeleteThis is such a wonderful gift bag. The colors and textures are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Party Time Tuesdays. Hope to see you next week.
