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.

Trusty Toolbox 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. 

Trusty Toolbox Save

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.

  • Card ideas for the Box & Cards; free project sheet with video tutorial

    I shared this beautiful box with cards on yesterday’s blog post. You’ll see it in the video and project sheet below too. Today I’ll focus on the cards included in the pretty box.

    Save

    The featured products include the Lovely Blossoms suite. This card box can fit up to 6 cards with envelopes inside. It’s super easy to make too! It’s included in the free project sheet seen below.

    For these cards I used the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here. And the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper seen here.

    This first card is a fun fold card; quite unique!

    Save

    It doesn’t look much different from the front. The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & White. Here’s a photo of it open:

    The White inside layer has two extra folds in it. There’s a narrow flap adhered to the card front that let’s it open in an unusual way. The measurements are in the free project sheet below.

    This next card is deceptively simple; but I added a simple trick to layering the DSP on the front:

    Save

    The main image is from the Lovely Blossoms DSP. This DSP includes multiple printed elements perfect to make the focus of the card. It’s the printed Olive DSP under it I want to call your attention to. Both pieces measure 3″ X 4″. I cut the Olive DSP in half on the diagonal and added that as a layer to the flower layer. Quick and easy but unique. Instead of the traditional even layers this adds interest to your card.

    Lastly is a card that shows off a special die-cut in the Lovely Arrangements bundle:

    Save

    It’s Petal Pink with Secret Sea and White. That multiple circles die is so cool! It truly adds some playfulness to the card. The greeting is stamped on a circle die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

    Save

    My free project sheet includes these 3 cards plus the template and instructions for the card box as well. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for the box and tips on assembling the fun fold card at the top. Don’t forget to follow me on my YouTube Channel here or my Facebook Page here.

    I shared this fabulous box for gifting or storing cards in on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those projects you NEED to make!

    Save

    I found a similar project on Pinterest but the measurements weren’t for A2 cards so I reconfigured it and came up with this one. I love it and the fact that it’s super easy makes it a must have to save among your project ideas.

    Save

    I used Secret Sea card stock, the DSP and with the retiring Branching Out dies (so sad!) for the front. The Secret Sea bordered ribbon is perfect to wrap and tie into a bow for giving.

    If you don’t have these Branching Out dies; I think they’re a must have! Get them ASAP before they’re gone for good.

    Save

    It features the Lovely Blossoms suite; especially the Lovely Blossoms designer paper here and the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here.

    I added three cards & envelopes inside the box but it would fit 5-6 cards if they’re not too thick.

    Save

    I’ll share the cards in my blog post tomorrow. But in the meantime the template for this box is below.

    I created a free project sheet for both the box and the cards. Please click here to print or save it!
