Toolbox Z Fun Fold Birthday Card with Trusty Tools

 Hi Friends!

Tonight during my live demonstration, I featured a bold fun fold project using the Trusty Tools bundle. The card design is called the Toolbox Z Fun Fold (inspired by Rachel Tessman), and it really does look like a little toolbox filled with tools. This design makes a perfect masculine birthday card and is sure to bring a smile to anyone who receives it.

The Z fold design gives the card extra dimension and movement, while the bright toolbox panels and silver accents bring the look of a real tool chest to life. The Trusty Tools bundle provides the perfect dies and images to make this project come together with plenty of detail and personality.

During the live demonstration, I walked through the full step-by-step process to create this Toolbox Z Fun Fold card. I shared tips on cutting, folding, and assembling the toolbox panels, as well as ideas for stamping and die cutting the tools to make them look realistic.

Here's a list of supplies and measurements used on this card:

This card is not only a great birthday card but also a wonderful design to have on hand for Father’s Day, retirement celebrations, or simply to surprise the handyman in your life.

You can watch the complete video tutorial below, where I demonstrate this fun fold and share all the measurements and supplies you will need to create your own.

The Trusty Tools bundle is perfect for masculine cardmaking, and this Toolbox Z Fun Fold is one of my new favourite ways to showcase it. I hope this project inspires you to give the fold a try and add it to your cardmaking repertoire.
