I finished the Handmade & Heartfelt kit; it’s so cool!

I played with this fun kit yesterday and made 13 cards! This neat card kit is discounted through today only. It would make a fabulous gift or enjoy it for yourself. see it here

It’s a 10 card kit with envelopes, a stamp set, a storage box, ink spot and more. I added a few extra card bases and got an extra 3 cards from it.
Here are my bonus cards:

See the lower right card? I used the template from the lower left card to sponge Secret Sea ink through the holes to create the starburst pattern. When I did this I did it on the back side so I could still use it on the ‘thanks’ card.

Below are a few more cards I changed up from the original plan. It’s so fun to do this. Even though it’s a pre-planned card kit I love adding my own spin on them.

The cards, envelopes, stamp set etc all fit in the organizer box that’s includes. What a great way to store your cards! See this kit here.

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

  February 15, 2024

  ---

  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:

  Measurements:

  • Gray Granite card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4" plus die-cut tool box pieces 
  • DSP – front is 2" X 5 1/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4" plus fussy cut tools
  • Black 3 1/2" square
  • White greeting layer 2 3/4" X 1"; inside is 3 1/4" square

  Here's the inside view:

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

  February 14, 2024

  ---

  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.

  
  
  
  
  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.

  
  
  
  
  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. 

  
  
  
  
  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.

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

  February 12, 2024

  ---

  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.  

  
  
  
  
  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.

  I've used this stamp set so often!  It seems to have just what I need and I LOVE the fonts!
