A Fish & A Wish With By The Bay

stampin up jan-june 2023 mini catalog, karen hallam

The new catalog goes live today! Beginning today, you can order from the January-April Mini Catalog. I love it when new products come out! It opens up a whole new level of creative ideas. And I especially love it when the new products pair nicely with some we already have. For example, this stamp bundle called A Fish & A Wish seems to be tailor-made for the new Designer Series Paper called By the Bay! Here is one idea for pairing A Fish & A Wish with By the Bay:

Awesome pairing, right? The Fish Builder Punch has been unavailable for awhile (thus the bundle, too) but hopefully by the time this is published it will be back in stock.

A FISH & A WISH BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

By the Bay 6″x 6″ DSP is a fantastic combination of blues and greens with gold foiling. So beautiful in a soothing ocean kind of way! Here’s a look at the pack ~

I love the gold foiling on this paper! Here’s a closer look at the card ~

I punched the fish out using the new Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP (the colors work perfectly with By the Bay even though they are part of the Delicate Desert Suite!)

This angle shows that I adhered the fish with a Dimensional and added a tiny piece of Dimensional under the fins.

The Fish Builder Punch gives you two fish and two fins with one punch, so I punched once from both Metallic papers and had these little guys to use on the inside.
