• Blending Brushes
• Ink & Paper
• Paper:  
• 3 3/4 x 5" white
• 4 x 5 1/4" matting

Trusty Tools Masculine Card

 When the new mini catalogue came out, I knew I had to get the Trusty Tools Bundle.  My dad was very handy and probably had almost every tool out there!  So today I decided to make a masculine card with this bundle.  There are so many possibilities and I know I am going to be making more cards with this bundle.

Materials used:

• Trusty Tools Bundle - Trusty Tools stamp set, Trusty Tools dies
• Heartfelt Hexagon Punch
• Beautiful Balloons stamp set
• Basic Black cardstock - base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4 on long side
• Pool Party cardstock - 4 x 5 1/4" - cut two; also need a small scrap for punch
• Basic White cardstock - 3 3/4 x 5" - cut two; also need a small scrap for sentiment
• Silver foil
• Memento Black Ink
• Poppy Parade Ink
• Pool Party Ink
• Crushed Curry Ink

This is a quick card to make.  Don't forget, if you order this bundle, you can get the coordinating Designer Series paper in Sale-A-Bration for free! Only available until the end of February though.

Here is the video tutorial.

Diagonal Gatefold Card

 As part of our local team meetings, we quite often do a card swap.  The theme this time was Christmas/Holidays.  I was looking for a fun fold to do and found an alternative to the gatefold card with Lisa Curcio.  So, I put a holiday spin on it.
