I saw this yellow card on Pinterest. Not sure who to give credit to, but I used this card for inspiration for my own card. Thanks so much whoever you are!

I used a mix of two stamp sets with their coordinating dies - 'Nailed It' with 'Build It' dies and 'Trusty Tools' with the 'Trusty Tools' dies.

I kept my color scheme simple using Copper Clay and Gray Granite for the tools. The background piece is from the 'Trusty Toolbox' DSP - Lost Lagoon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scripted Tools

 

I love this set... its so perfect for all the men in my life (and for some of the women in my life too!).

I wanted to make all the tools to match, so I used a Stampin' Blends marker (Pecan Pie) to color on top of the Gray Granite cardstock to create the two-tone tools you see here.

Thanks for dropping by!

Biggest Tools

 

I liked the simplicity of Rachael Merrick's card with all the tools near the edge of the card. I chose to make a few changes to make the card my own. Thanks Rachael for your inspiration!

I used the 'Trusty Toolbox' Designer Series Paper and most of the tools were fussy cut... although, a few had the die-cuts from the 'Trusty Tools' die set.

Thanks for checking in!

Special Tools

 

I cannot take credit for this lovely card I made. The credit goes to Terri Gaines... what a fantastic way to utilize the 'Trusty Toolbox' DSP (Designer Series Paper). I love that the coordinating dies from the 'Trusty Tools' stamp set can be used on the 'Trusty Toolbox' DSP too! FUN! and so easy to create this card.

The DSP looks like a toolbox, so I (and Terri too) just used my Stampin' Trimmer to make a slit along the gray/red border... I kept the sides intact so I could adhere them to the background piece.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Father's Day 2024

 

I just loved how Debbie Henderson chose to use her 'Trusty Tools' stamp set and coordinating dies along with the 'Trusty Toolbox' Designer Series Paper (DSP). As she had the sentiment from a stamp set that I didn't have... I improvised and used my computer to create the same sentiment in the fonts that I had. Thanks Debbie for your creativity and inspiration! I made my cards into 'Father's Day' cards, so I'm sure the Father's in my life will LOVE them as much as I do!

Now, I know she used the stamp set to create the tools... I kinda cheated and used the DSP (already colored!!!!). YES!!!! The dies cut the shapes out perfectly! Thanks Stampin' Up! for creating a suite that is so versatile! I'm sure I'll be using this set for all the men in my life for their birthdays too!
