  • Trusty Tools single gatefold card with the Sale-a-Bration Trusty Toolbox designer paper

    Last week I shared the projects featuring the Trusty Tools bundle and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper in my weekly video. I've shared the free project sheets for two of those in the last two blog posts.

    Today I'll focus on the third project on the right – a single gate-fold card with a 'faux' toolbox on the front.

    I love this greeting!  It's from the Trusty Tools bundle seen here.  The tools in front are all fussy cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper (and Holographic specialty paper in the Annual Catalog) although a few of the dies in the bundle coordinate with the paper.

    I did not create a project sheet for this project but I will provide the measurements:

    • DSP – front is 2" X 5 1/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4" plus fussy cut tools
    • Black 3 1/2" square

  • Trusty Tools ‘Toolbox’ Treat box with video & free project sheet!

    Happy Valentine's Day! 

    I had to try my hand at making a treat box using the Trusty Toolbox designer paper. So I came up with this & shared it on last week's video here.

    Trusty Toolbox Save

    Isn't it adorable?  It holds quite a few candy treats plus there's room for a gift card too. I plan to give this to my husband today.

    I decided to change it up a bit and added a pegboard (made with the Trusty Tools' dies seen here) to the back of my second box.

    Trusty Toolbox with pegboard Save

    The tools in the box are cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper seen here. You can use the Trusty Tools dies for some of them as they coordinate wonderfully.  But honestly I fussy cut most of them. 

    Trusty Toolbox Save

    Details:

    • The box is 3 1/2" wide and the 1 1/2" deep & high. The pegboard is 4 1/2" tall. 
    • The 'Celebrate' greeting is from the Thoughtful Moments dies & emboss folder seen here.  My new favorite! I added ink after I cut the word out using my brayer very, very gently. *watch the video to see how
    • There are two handles glued back to back in the center. 
    • The tools are adhered to the front, center layer and the back to give depth & interest to the box. 
    • The tool designer paper on the front & sides are also from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.

    Aren't they just adorable?!  What a great little treat to give to the guys?  And why not the gals too?

  • A special Trusty Tools Double-box fun fold card – free project sheet & video tutorial

    We made this fabulous men's fun-fold card at my January Card Clubs; I also shared it on last week's Live video too.  

    Trusty Tools Club Jan Save

     

    It features Gray Granite, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade & White plus a bit of our Holographic specialty paper for the wrench die-cut.  

    This double box fun fold card can be positioned two ways – horizontal like this or vertical where the left box is the bottom. 

    A few details:

    • All 3 die-cuts on the front are from the Trusty Tools bundle & die set.
    • The neat textured Gray Granite layer is Metal Place 3D embossing folder. 
    • The tool designer paper is the Trusty Toolbox 12" DSP – seen here.  It's free during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase.  I'm actually surprised they haven't run out of it yet!!

    If you order the Trusty Tools bundle you can earn the coordinating Trusty Toolbox designer paper FREE! It's $54.75 for the bundle.

    For greetings I also used the Throughout the Year stamp set for additional options. See it here.
