The card I am sharing today stars the Trusty Tools Bundle and matching Sale-A-Bration DSP. And it is an interesting Fun Fold.
Fun Fold
This is such a simple Fun Fold. It is more of a Fun Cutting of the paper! I got this from Lovenstamps. She made a card with this cut and I had to do it. It is such a fabulous use of DSP!! I love, and have a ton of, DSP. So a perfect card for me. To make the cut is so simple. I will warn you that it can be confusing at first. So you need a photo to refer to paper placement!
- The card base is 8 1/2 X 4 1/4. Fold the card at 4 1/4. Using your paper trimmer, open the card and place the upper right corner of the front flap in the cutting line. Hold that in place and move the bottom of the card so the bottom of the score line is in the cutting track. Cut off that triangle from the card but keep it handy.
- To further illustrate, look at the photo of my card. The lower card stock you see is what you have cut away. I know that is confusing but it will make sense in just a minute. Next take a 4 X 4 piece of DSP and adhere it to the upper triangle that is still attached to the card. Again, look at the photo. After adhering the DSP to ONLY that upper triangle of card stock, now add back the triangle you cut away. You will adhere it to the bottom section of the DSP. Here is an open view of the card which may help a bit.
- NOTE: After making the cut away of the triangle close the card. Adding the DSP to the front, you need to align with the top and bottom of the card. With the bottom front being cut away, you will use the back of the card for alignment. And same is tru for adding the bottom card stock back, you will need to align it all sides as well as the point at the top right.
Stamps and Tools
The Trusty Tools stamp set is so fun and has perfect sentiments to go along with the stamps and dies. I love the “You’re The Most Awesome”. It makes this set work for many occasions and not just a Dad or even manly. I stamped the sentiment on a reverse of the DSP. And then punched it with the Decorative Circle Punch. That is layered on Crushed Curry that is punched with the 2 3/8 Circle Punch. These two punches seem to be made for each other they fit so well together!
The ruler is a 3 X 3/4 piece of one of the DSP pieces. That is so perfect for this set. And the tool is one from the DSP as well. I naturally chose a tool that does not have a matching die. So I just fussy cut it. The Dies in the set actually do fit and cut out several from the DSP as well as matching stamps.
For the inside of the card I stamped and colored the tape measure and then added a scattering of bolts and screws. The sentiment was left off of the inside until I decide who to send it to. I do that quite often.
Papers
The paper color choice came from the DSP of course. It is the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper and is a Sale-A-Bration FREE item with a $50.00 order. Since the Trusty Tools Bundle is $54.75 you can order the bundle and get the paper free! Although you only have a couple more days to get the paper. Sale-A-Bration ends on the 29th!!!
The card base is Poppy Parade with the Lost Lagoon DSP piece with the screws. For a pop of another color, I added the Crushed Curry for the background circle. And I colored the tape measure using Stampin’ Blends with Poppy Parade and Lost Lagoon. The finishing bling is the Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. It is supposed to be a nail holding up the sign. 🙂
