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.

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.

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 these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

  You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

  I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

  My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

  Save

  The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

  I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

  You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!
