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.

Autumn Toile Suite Cardmaking with Fall-Coloured Leaves

 Hi Friends!

The Autumn Toile suite from the September–December Mini Catalogue is packed with inspiration for cozy fall projects, and the Autumn Trees bundle is a true standout. For this project, I used a mix of warm autumn colours to layer the leaves on the tree, creating a rich and vibrant focal point for the card.

The combination of die-cut leaves, stamped details, and textured background elements gives this project so much depth. During my live demonstration, I shared how to combine colours for natural-looking fall leaves, plus some tips for making the most of the bundle’s coordinating stamps and dies.

If you’re looking for seasonal crafting inspiration, the Autumn Toile suite is a beautiful choice. You can watch the full video tutorial below for step-by-step instructions and creative ideas to bring this project to life in your own craft room.

This card design is such a showstopper when it’s opened. The explosion fold adds movement and surprise, while the Amber Autumn images bring in all the richness of the season. During my live demonstration, I shared step-by-step how to create this card so you can easily follow along at home.

If you’re looking for a unique fall card idea that’s both fun to make and a delight to receive, this project is a must-try. You can watch the full video tutorial below to see the fold in action and learn exactly how to put it together.
