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?

• Simple Lily of the Valley card; it’s a WOW! Grab the free project sheet or watch the video

  August 17, 2026

  I shared this beautiful Lily of the Valley card on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those cards that looks simple and easy but involves a bit of effort.

  Save

  I used the Lily of the Valley dies along with the Everyday Arches dies on the vellum and the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder (it’s back in stock) for the background. White & Granny Apple Green are my colors here.

  Since I did-cut the flowers from White CS I used a Granny Apple Green blends marker to color the stems on the flowers. I also curled the die-cut leaves a bit and cut one apart for the thicker stems in the center area. Watch the video to see how.

  Did you notice there isn’t a greeting on the front? It’s okay to leave them off now and then. This way my card can be used for any purpose.

  Save

  I didn’t even stamp one on the inside. Just a simple leaf/flower image. Click here to see the Lily of the Valley in my store. It’s wonderful.

  I created a free project sheet for this card as well as my video below. Click here for the project sheet you can download or print.
