Fishing Vest Card

Here is a fishing vest card I made for my FIL for his birthday.   I found the idea at splitcoast stampers.   It took me about 4 hours to make, but that included figuring out how big it should be, making a rough draft, making the templates for the pockets and then making the final version and adding all of the details.  I'm really happy with the results and hope to make another one.

Here is the finished card.  I chalked around all of the pieces before gluing them on.  The pockets are all a shade lighter of textured paper than the jacket.  Also, all of the pockets have folded tabs under them to make them pop off the jacket more, I could have just used pop dots, but I like to make things as real as possible.

 Here is the inside of the card.  I added the pocket after the card was done.  Next time I'll add that to the template and just fold it up for one uniform piece.  I liked how it gave me a place to put a gift card and the fishing license we gave him.   The papers and the stickers were all out of my existing stash of supplies, so this card cost me almost nothing to make.   So, how did I do?  Cute, huh.  Enjoy!
