Something Saturday - Trifold Tools Card

 Hi There Creators,

I had this fabulous idea of how I could have the tools cut out from a card, and sticking up, until I tried it and discovered it didn't work 🤣  Then I had another fabulous idea, so let me know what you think.....

I've used the Trusty Tools Stamp set and matching Trusty Tools Dies.  Which I'm happy to say have carried over from last year's catalogue, such a handy "blokey" set! (and of course some of us females are also tool nuts 🤣)

Here is the card I ended up making in the video: I have added some of the Take to the Sky designer series paper to the background of it, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out

And in this last shot you can see the "shadow" effect of the tools on the back.  I have cut the tools 1/2 out from the card, then added the layer of tools (stamped) on top, then added a layer of gray under the cut away to create the shadow.

I ended up preferring it as a triangle fold rather than an up and over, which was my initial thought

What do you think?

If you missed the video, here it is:

I hope this inspires you to have a go too

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Half'er cards using Trusty Toolbox

 Hi There Creators,

No not half a card🤣  Today I'm showing off the fabulous Trusty Tools Bundle, which just so happens to have matching Sale-a-Bration papers that go with it.  Sale-a-Bration (SAB) is on until the end of Feb, for every $90 you purchase you get to pick for free from the SAB catalogue (check out the whole offering here: Sale-a-Bration items.  Woo hoo!  There's also another fabulous deal when you join Stampin' Up! you get to choose $235 of goodies plus you get the glass mat studio for free OR and extra $50 of goodies in your pack and you only pay $169 (absolute bargain, let me know if you're interested!) or check out this link: Join Now link.   Anyway moving on to my "half'er" cards....

The Trusty Toolbox SAB papers have a heap of tools on a couple of the sheets, which is great, and for a scrapbook sheet they're fine, but round the edges if you're a cardmaker you kind of end up with a heap of "dud" tools (half tools), so I thought I can use those (and show you how to too)

Here goes.....  This first one I made up in the video

Then after the video I moved onto this one (just happened to have the "love you" cut out from the post I did on 30th Dec laying around on my desk), so figured I might just make this one up for my hubbie (now to find a non-suspicious reason to give it to him 🤣)

 And lastly I also had some off cuts bits, so I squared them up and figured it would work to "splash" them over the front of the card, as I did fussy cut all the bits out before the stamps & dies (that I'd forgotten I'd ordered arrived), but some of these tools and the paintbrush are cutoutable with the dies (ooo that's a good word isn't it, "cutoutable"🤣

Aren't they fabulous papers? and the stamp set is really cool that it has "fill" in bits to stamp - check it out with the link above.

I hope this inspires you to create!

God Bless love
