It’s Kalyn here with a new card project to share! Father’s Day is coming up in just a matter of weeks, so I thought it was time to get some ideas cooking. As soon as I saw the Fish Duo cut file, I was immediately inspired to create something for my dad. We had a koi fish pond growing up and these just reminded me of feeding the fish with my dad on warm summer evenings.
I first took my watercolor set and created some simply color washes on watercolor paper. Then I ran the paper strips through my CAMEO and put it on the “heavy cardstock” setting. This cut it out wonderfully. But a quick tip – be sure your cardstock is completely dry before putting it through your machine.
I finished off the card with some paint splatter and a stamped sentiment. It’s a super easy card, but if you wanted to make it even easier, you could use patterned paper that looks like watercolor instead of creating it yourself.
Happy making!

You can use it with vinyl as long as it is smooth and flat to allow the static charge to hold on to it. Rolled vinyl that wants to go back to its rolled shape will not necessarily work well, and it would need to be trimmed to fit the ES mat cutting area.

Yes, you can use the heat pen while using the ES mat. 🙂

Once you’ve pushed the mat up against the rollers, just press the “Load” arrow button (bottom right on the display). Does a regular sticky mat load into the machine for you?
