This is a standard A2 size card. The mat is 4" x 5.25" and embossed with the Swiss Dots folder. The blue strips for water were cut at (I believe - I forgot to write it down) at 1.5", 1.75", and 2". I used the Fiskars scallop border punch and embossed just the top one with D'vine Swirls to make them look like waves. The fishing pole is threaded with embroidery floss. On it I added a Stampin' Up brad to make it look like a reel. I also added a gem from The Paper Studio to the hook. The fish is embossed with Tiny Bubbles. Of course it needed a little more sparkle, so I added green stickles to the rod, "DAD" and fish.
The Cuts:
* Fishing Pole - Simply Charmed - Cut at 2.75"
* Fish - Create-a-Critter (I liked this fish better) - Cut at 1"
* "DAD" - Pooh Font (marker and shadow marker- I hid the
inside cuts on the shadow) - Cut at 1"

You got a gypsy! I'm as sparkly green as those letters! ;) I'm excited for you and you're right, that deal would be hard to top. The main reason I want one is to hide some cuts. I hope you're enjoying your new toy! This turned out great. I love all the embossing and especially love how you did the fishing pole. The thread and reel are fabulous. :o)
Hugs and blessings, my crafty friend!

This card is just too cute! Of course I love the sparkle & shine but that fishing pole is pretty sweet. Great touch with the brad on the reel. The embossing adds so much dimension & I love the waves made with the border punch.
