What's that?? You don't like sardines?? I love them - and these paper ones don't stink up the joint, like the real ones do! lol
I could hardly wait to get my hands on this Fintastic stamp set, and Sardines dies from The Stamp Market. I was determined to make that little turn-key work!! Well, it looks like it did anyway...
The Sardines die set had everything I needed to cut 'lid' that
I wound up on this fun key!
and ... the perfect finish to that sentiment, on the inside of my card!
When I get something new, I always try to use it in several ways - and combine some of their other products in my stash. My first card uses their Happy Hearts cover die to emboss - and here's one with no stamping, using the Sardines dies, and some 'scaly' paper cut with the same die! [You know those little hearts won't go to waste!]
Inside, a few words of my own:
Just flying by to say hi! Now there's nothing fishy about that!!
[that's just for you Linda C.! wink!]
I plan on joining my honey in the canoe for a bit of fishing over the weekend! Hope your holiday plans include something you love to do!!
See you on the flip side...

These is ADORABLE!! I love all the fun little fish cards you created with the amazing sentiments inside. I never would know what to do with a set like this but you ROCKED it!!! Great design!
ReplyDeleteYour sardine cards are so super duper cute!!! Love them!!!
ReplyDeleteHow CUTE!! I can't decide which one I like the best... oh heck it's a tie, they're both too much fun!
ReplyDeleteMichele, only YOU could make a sardine (and its can) look CUUUUUTE! These are adorable!
ReplyDeleteTotally can't wait to see this set in person, and you've created two FABULOUS cards using the set!! Is the key included in the die set? I'm not a sardine lover, but I sure do love this set and both FUN cards. Great job Michele!! :0)
ReplyDeleteWow, Michele, the colors you chose for your cards almost disguise the fishiness of the subject on your cards. LOL You did an amazing job showcasing this set. Again, wow! I hope you have fun this weekend and maybe take a couple of pics to share. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't care for sardines, but I love both of these, Michele! Using the die to emboss the background was a fintastic idea and I love how the top is curled on the key with part of the sentiment! The sweet wonky shaped heart outlines and sardine show beautifully from the pretty paper on the second card. Hope you have a fun weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! This is so darn cute and a wonderful departure from under the sea fish cards. Not a fan of sardines (though I do love anchovies) but I'm a huge fan of the this card. Also the one following it, too. That 'scaly' paper is gorgeous. Perfect for all your elements.
ReplyDeleteHave a stellar weekend in your canoe...catch a lot of fish.
Even I would be tempted to open a sardine can if I knew those little cuties were inside! How you can make these critters so delightful I will never know but you have reeled me in! Your cards are o-fish-ially amazing! And that’s no fish story! (And I spotted the hidden message....💕🐠🐟🐬)
ReplyDeleteSweet lineup of cards to show off those fishies!
ReplyDeleteWe have sardines once a week for lunch and I have to say they are my least favourite lunch! They are very good for you though. Your cards are really great, what an unusual die set, love how you have used it xx
ReplyDeleteSo fintastic, Michele! Love the colors and the design. I hope it isn't too cold for you to go fishing.
ReplyDeleteTerrific!! I LOVE them! what fun and so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteFun beyond words!
ReplyDeleteOH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!!!! These tryly are FINTASTIC!!!!!Excuse me, I have to go shopping now...
ReplyDeleteThese sardines in the can are so stinkin' cute, Michele! ;-) The lid and the fun key make my die-cut loving heart happy.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern paper for the second card is perfect for the fish, and I love your punny sentiment inside of the card!
Enjoy the canoeing date with your hubby!
Hideko xx
These are simply fintastic, Michele, you've got this one in the "can"!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! Love the fun colors. And no, I don't like sardines except when pureed into Caesar salad dressing. ha! I've been eyeing this set, especially for cards for my Fin.
ReplyDeleteOh, good heavens, these cards are both so darn CUTE! Beautifully designed, love the colors with perfect paper. The stamps and dies fabulous and I totally want it all!
ReplyDeleteBeyond brilliant, Michele ... these are both just delicious (yum, fresh sardines!) ... love the soft colour palette ... and how you dressed up that first pair in their finery! Hope the fishing with your honey was good! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh.my.word! Your cards are marvelous as always. No, they're FINtastic!!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun and so unique. Who would have thought sardines and their tins could look so good? I hope the canoe trip went well with your honey? x.
