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.

    We played with the Rise & Shine stamp set this weekend at Becky's workshop.  I love these colors together!

    The checked patterned paper is from the Pleased as Punch pkg seen here.  It's available just through March.

  • Golden Honey Scrapbook Class with a kit to go option


    Scrapbooking was my first paper crafting hobby. Now I spend a lot more time making cards than I do scrapbook pages.

    I just knew the Golden Honey specialty designer paper would make gorgeous layouts!  This designer paper is no longer available during Sale-a-Bration but I have a supply of it for these classes. 

    I made 5 beautiful, unique layouts with 12 X 12" card stock.  Because this paper is black and white based with some gold accents I could add lots of fun colors to create my layouts.  I LOVE black and white with a pop of color on my projects! 

    Here's a full view of two of them.  This first layout has Bermuda Bay as the main color with the Detailed Bee dies.  The page title is from the Hand-Lettered Prose dies seen here. 

    Here's another one in all black and white with gold accents.  I added daisy punched accents on this page.  

    There isn't any stamping on these pages; it's all pre-cut, punched or die-cut pieces. It also includes the embellishments too. All you need is adhesive so it's perfect to finish up at home!  

    The class is on Saturday, March 28th at 2 pm.  The cost is $25 for all 10 pages.  It's also available as a kit to go for both local and long distance customers.  It's an extra $5 for shipping.  RSVP by March 19th to receive a kit.  

    The kit includes everything you see; pre-cut pieces, die-cuts, photos and tips on assembly.  Kits are mailed out at the end of March.

  • Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!


    Do you struggle with double sided designer paper?  What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use?  Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

    I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders.  They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant! 

    On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

    The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

    The front right panel opens on just one side.  It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.  

    The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents. 

    Which is your favorite?  

    Measurements:

    • Card stock is 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper on the left is 3 1/4" X 4"; card stock on the right is 1 7/8" X 4"
    • The inside white layer is 3 1/4" X 4"
    • Melon Mambo banner is 1" X 4 1/4"
