Trusty Toolbox Dad Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Yesterday I shared some fun projects using the Trusty Tools Bundle (162723) and Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162978), today I’m going to share a quick and easy card.

This fun card takes full advantage of the lovely paper that you can get for FREE when you purchase this Bundle from our Mini. And if you have men in your life you’ll find yourself reaching for the coordination in products time and again. But you don’t want to wait too long since Sale-a-bration is while supplies last or February 29th this year.

Here is a quick video tutorial for you so you can see how how easy this card is to create. I’ve also given you a PDF with supply list so you can order the items you need. Measurements, video link, and more so you can create when your order arrives.

Trusty Tools & Sale-a-bration’s Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper

Posted on by

Woohoo! Coordination at it’s finest along with a great tool Bundle for the guys in our lives. Who doesn’t love that? Today’s cards not only the Trusty Tools Bundle (162723) but

they use one of our FREE Sale-a-bration products the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162978). This paper is filled will wonderful images that our dies will cut out too! That makes it sooo easy to use and cards quick and easy too.

Like I said coordination at it’s finest! Check out these cards using these products. This first few cards use simple stamping and the paper to create the cards. Strips of different patterns were used to create this first card.

Along with our Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171) and Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (159082) making a quick and easy Father’s Day card. And this next card uses a score line to create a fun fold.

The card is a 4 1/4 x 11 inch card base that has been scored on the 5 1/2″ and then on the 10″ marks. The bottom 1 inch section has been folded up and the rich Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon (161634) holds it in place.

This next simple stamping card uses the Patchwork Pieces Dies (161592) seen below cut your Designer Series Paper for you and adds a fun little stitched edge to them too.

Our little Adhesive Backed Cork Rounds (162643) add a bit of texture to the sentiment. Add the sentiment of your choice inside, like a birthday from the Biggest Wish stamp set (155052) and you’ve got a great masculine birthday card. And how about this next card that teams the products up with the He’s All That stamp set (159071) and the coordinating dies?

This card uses a quick and easy technique using our Stampin’ Write Markers to color the different parts of the sentiment. This technique is a great way to add multiple colors to images, simply use the side of the flair tip to color the sections you desire. Make sure to start with the lightest color first so you don’t mix colors on your marker tip. Then simply breath on the image to reactivate the ink and stamp. Yep, it really is that easy! This card is also a gift card holder making it a great way to give a gift too.

To create a pocket for the gift card simply cut your card base at 11 x 4 1/4 inches and then score at the 5 1/2 and 8 3/4 inch marks. Tear & Tape is a great adhesive for the top and bottom of the pocket to hold things firmly.

And for the final card today, that fun little die found in the Trusty Tools Dies (162722) that creates a little peg board for your projects.

The images from the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162978) have been die cut for quick color and the bold sentiment has been fussy cut so it could hang on the board.

Whether your guy is a handy man or a tool collector, he’ll be sure to enjoy projects made with these products.

Remember, Sale-a-bration ends on February 29th, but for your best selection you’ll want to order now since items are while supplies last.

Filled with wonderful water, fish themed, and patterns you can’t go wrong creating fun card for the guys in our lives.

The Nested Essentials Dies (161597) was used to create the flag. This set of dies has a lovely double stitched edge for a bit of detail and texture and a bit more texture was added by using the Raindrops Embossing Folder (160554) for the background.

This card was made for Father’s Day, which is right around the corner, but swap out the sentiment and you’ve got a great masculine card for the men in our lives.

Itty Bitty Greetings for Father’s Day

Posted on by

Do you love a stamp set that gives you all kinds of options – It’s why I love the 3 different Itty Bitty sets that we have. They give you lots of options and take you through the year!

As an added bonus a lot of these sentiments fit in our Classic Label Punch (141491) which makes it a great set for those who might be newer to stamping or worry about stamping the sentiment straight. You can’t go wrong with stamping and then punching it out!

Check out this lovely card made using the Rooted in Nature stamp set (148217) and a quick and easy Stampin’ Write Marker Technique called thumping.

Hows it done? The stamp was colored first with the Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker on the trunk and then with the Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker for the canopy. After that the Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker was thumped or bounced randomly around the canopy to add the second color. When you have all the coloring done you breath on it to re-moisten the ink and then stamp as desired. So easy, but a really cool look, don’t you think?

Our Stampin’ Write Markers come in all 4 Color Collections and can be purchased separately or in a marvelous case option with all 40 Colors from our 4 Color Families. So you can get them all or build your collection over time, the choice is yours!

I really like the stamp set Rooted in Nature for masculine cards so here are a couple more cards using the set.

And if you love dies, there is a coordinating set called Nature’s Roots (151786) that you can get too. This next card teams up the set with our very popular In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494) that is filled with wood images and the Just Jade 2020-2022 In Color.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Rooted in Nature (148217) and Itty Bitty Greetings (151331)

Inks: Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink (147102/147166), Regals Stampin’ Write Markers (147155) and Neutral Stampin’ Write Markers (147158)

Paper: Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (152492), Soft Sea Foam (146988), Garden Green (102584), and Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Accessories: Classic Label Punch (141491), Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon (144213) and Stampin’ Sponges (141337)

Geared Up Garage

Posted on by

It the week before Father’s Day so I thought it would be a great time to share some wonderful sets that include Father’s Day sentiments. Today’s set is the Geared Up Garage stamp set (148590). It’s perfect for our guys who love those classic cars. And it is a perfect choice for my guy since he’s a classic card enthusiast. We spent a lot of time those first years going to car shows and swap meets. (I’ll share a photo with you later in the post of Larry’s baby with you.)

This first card combines the beautiful World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper (152491)

I love the way that the Brass Foil (153057) has been used for the gears and pulls out the foiling in the Designer Series Paper too. The combination of Bermuda Bay and Basic Black is quite striking in person.

And this next card uses the color theme from my husbands car in addition to some simple stamping which makes it a great choice if you are just building your stamping collection. Classic – the Basic Black, Smoky Slate and Real Red makes an impact.

The Geared Up Garage stamp set also has coordinating Garage Gears Dies (151812) which make it a favorite!

On a personal note, here is the photo I told you I’d share. Back when we were first married my husband was working on his 1957 Chevy that he got when he was in the Army. He hauled it all the way from California back to Georgia. Here is a snap shot of it.

He had just completed restoring it before we got married, so we recreated my parents wedding photo from 1958 with it. We’ve been married 33 years now, but it seems just like yesterday at times. I’m wearing my mother’s dress, with a corset and big wooden hoop under it. That was an experience!
