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.

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.

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. 

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?

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.

• Finally! We’re getting a new Stampin’ Positioner!

  January 23, 2026

  ---

  Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

  

  As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

  Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

  The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

  This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!

  

  It sounds like the general population will have to wait to get theirs…. but they promise it will be available sometime later this year to everyone.

• Quick Notecard idea with the Banner Sayings bundle

  January 20, 2026

  ---

  I needed to send a few special cards to my Team members this weekend and so I created these cute notecards:

  

  The large piece of designer paper is 4″ X 3″ and the bottom strip is 4″ X 1″. I added a 1/4″ strip of textured Coastal Cabana between them (I found it in my scraps).

  I chose to make notecards because the package I was sending their prizes in was narrow and these fit perfectly.
  Did you know we carry pre-scored notecards with envelopes? The package includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for just $10. You can see them here.

  I chose the Hobby Haven designer paper because of it’s colors and ‘hobby’ themed prints. See it here. It’s part of our Online product selection.

  I decided to feature the Banner Sayings bundle for a few reasons. It’s quick with the coordinating punch and the greeting I chose fit my needs perfectly. Click here to see it. The new Triple Banner punch was out of stock for weeks! But now it’s back.
