Trusty Tools Birthday Card with Country Woods Designer Paper

 Hi Friends!

Today I’m sharing a bold and fun birthday card that I created during my live demonstration featuring the Trusty Tools bundle. This bundle is perfect for making masculine cards, handyman-themed projects, or just adding a fun tool twist to your stamping.

For this card, I paired the bundle with the Country Woods designer paper, cutting the DSP into strips and laying them in a pattern for the background. This is such a fantastic way to use up those smaller pieces of paper that we all seem to collect. The wood-toned colours give a rustic feel that really makes the drill stand out.

The highlight of this card is the drill itself, which I created in Poppy Parade and Basic Black for a striking two-tone look. During the video tutorial, I shared tips and tricks on how to piece the die cuts together and add little touches that make the drill look realistic and dimensional.

Whether you need a birthday card for the handyman in your life, or just love the playful vibe of this bundle, this project is sure to inspire you.

You can watch the full step-by-step video tutorial below, where I walk through the entire process of creating this card. It includes the layout, tips on working with smaller DSP pieces, and how to create the two-tone drill.

This Trusty Tools birthday card is a keeper, and I know I’ll be making more of them. I hope it inspires you to grab your scraps of Country Woods paper and try it out yourself.
