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.

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.

Do you like the 6x6 One Sheet Wonder Technique? Here is a video tutorial using the Trusty Tools bundle and Trusty Toolbox designer paper!

Hi Friends!

During Sale-a-Bration you can get the Trusty Toolbox designer paper FREE! with a minimum order.

The designer paper (or DSP as we like to call it) coordinates with the Trusty Tools bundle.

Some of the images in the paper can be cut out using the dies in the bundle!

On Thursday I shared a great 6x6 One Sheet Wonder technique using these products. But the technique can be used with any paper and stamps, dies, punches, etc. And for any occasion.

 

During the video I also give you a tip on how to make your diagonal cuts line up with the layered pieces under them..... every. single. time!  It's not hard, but makes the world of difference.

Check out how to do the technique, make the cards, and get the diagonal tip in the video below.
