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?

• Sneak Peek of new products with a sketch for inspiration

  October 27, 2025

  ---

  On last week’s video I shared three cards featuring a new designer paper coming out in November. It’s called Brushed with Beauty.

  Save

  My colors include Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral. The stamp & dies bundle is called Words of Beauty and is part of the Brushed with Beauty suite. Demonstrators (& new team members) are able to order it early but you can see and order these new products on November 4th. They’re part of our Online Exclusives – new products released every other month.

  This layout was inspired by a sketch. Every month my Flowerbug’s have a creative challenge involving sketches or a color combo. This will be our November sketch inspiration. Sketches are a fabulous start to creating a card or scrapbook page. And they’re just an inspiration. As you can see I did not use a circle but the die from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I also flipped the center rectangle on it’s side.

  Save

  The Words of Beauty bundle will be a great option for greeting phrases. It includes two large sets of dies with the words ‘just’ and ‘because’ and then plenty of words to create your greeting. Plus the die I used with the word ‘because’ below is one of three in the package.

  You’ll notice the new packaging in the photo below. All new stamps & dies will be in these envelopes. Also all new stamps will be clear photopolymer and not red rubber.

  Save

  Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here to print or download it. Did you know I have a category at the top of my blog where you can see lots of these? They’re great inspiration and include many fun fold cards.

  Save

  I hope you’ll try this sketch layout. It’s a fun one! When you do, please share your project in my FB group here. We love seeing what everyone makes!

  Below is the video for this card and two more – all featuring new & upcoming Stampin’ Up! products!

  Today I have the last set of swaps my Flowerbug’s created for our Christmas card swaps this month. They’re super talented!

  First is a beautiful card made by Tracey who used a variety of designer paper blocks & strips to create a focal point for her greeting.

  Save

  Her designer paper is from the Online Exclusive pack called Elegant Pine Snowflakes. You can see it here. The leaf & berry die-cuts are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. One of my favorites!

  Look at this gorgeous nativity scene Candy made for her swap! She used the A Child is Born set seen here.

  Save

  She used blends markers to color the scene on Crumb Cake card stock. The die-cut is from the Branching Out dies, the embossing folder is the Peaceful Greenery folder. Just stunning! Just look at her beautiful coloring.

  Save

  And lastly today is a pretty card made by Gwen who featured the incredible Traditions of Christmas suite seen here.

  Save

  This beautiful designer paper is currently unavailable until November. The stunning greeting & die set called Traditional Labels is a classic. See it here.
