Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.

1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!  

If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here.  Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!

• 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. 

  Save

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

  I shared a double box card and a second card all using the same colors & products in the video below. I hope you're inspired by it!

  Below is the video where I demo how to make it.  Click here or on the photo below to watch this and two more projects featuring this bundle and designer paper.

  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!!

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