Country Woods Designer Series Paper

 Hello everyone,

I have used a mix of current and retired products on today’s card. I needed a card for an 18 year old apprentice carpenter so the retired Trusty Tools Bundle is perfect along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393).

I matted the 2 pieces of DSP with Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901). This is available from the Last Chance products while stocks last. The base card is Basic White (#166781).

I stamped the tools from the Trusty Tools stamp set, on Smoky Slate card (#131291) using VersaMark (#102283) with Black Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The tools were cut with co-ordinating Trusty Tools dies. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the tools. I added some colour to the paint brush bristles using the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush (#167662).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170553), on Basic White card.

The sentiment, 18 and tools were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The screws and washers also cut from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper were glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). 

This is a larger card, using a full sheet of A4 and scored in half.

Trusty Tools

 Hello & welcome again,

I decided to use the same design for this card as I did yesterday, but using different products to show how you can “case” a card but change it to suit what products you have, or change from a female card to a male card.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing folder (#156406) and matted with Poppy Parade card (#121694), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The tools from the Trusty Tools stamp set (#163274) were stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050), Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and Gray Granite ink (#147118). These were cut with the co-ordinating Trusty Tools dies (#162722).

The Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (#162978) is a Sale-a-bration product, and attached to the card.

I dry embossed the Gray Granite card (#147008) with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600) and cut the bottom with the Banners Pick A Punch (#153608).

“Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set 162283) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink and cut with a Sending die (#159271). The pencil was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment and other tools were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The trio of embellishments are the Classic Matte Dots (#158146).

Trusty Tools

Hello friends,

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and now have some time to relax. Perhaps it will be a chance to get back into the craft room.

I am very short of masculine cards so the new Trusty Tools Bundle (#162723) is perfect for me to make some cards particularly for the handyman.

I stamped the tools from the Trusty Tools stamp set (#163274) using Basic Gray ink (#149165) and Real Red ink (#147084). I coloured part of the images with Smokey Slate Stamin’ Blends (#154904) and Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899). I also added some Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add that bit of shimmer. These tools and the screws & bolts were cut with the Trusty Tools Dies (#162722). For the screws & bolts I used Silver Foil Specialty card (#156457) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I used a die on the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with another Trusty Tools die for the “pegboard”. This was matted with Real Red card (#106578). A piece of the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (#162978) was attached to the right side of the card. This DSP is from the Sale-a-bration products. There are many tools in this pack which co-ordinate with the Trusty Tools dies.

The stamped tools were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). “DAD” is cut with the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934) using Real Red card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet.

The new mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration will be available for ordering from 4th January. One advantage of being a demonstrator is that you get early access to new products, so if you want to know more about joining my team please contact me at lesley.j.jendra@gmail.com
