Hello Stampin’ Friends, 

Today, I’m thrilled to share a fabulous budget-friendly find and a creative project with a masculine twist! The Trusty Toolbox Designer Paper is now on sale in the Clearance Rack for just $5—talk about a steal! Masculine cards don’t always take center stage, but this collection of patterns makes it a breeze to create cards perfect for the men in your life.

Even at Christmas time—guys still have special occasions that deserve a personal touch; from birthdays to anniversaries, we can still create special cards to show our love.

Let’s dive into four amazing cards, created by me and the talented design team I’m part of, to inspire your next project. ….

Measurements:

• Cardstock: Basic Black 8 ½” x 5 ½” Scored and folded at 4 ¼”
• Cardstock 2:  Basic White: 5 ¼” x 4” (Inside) and scrap for greeting
• Cardstock 3: Poppy Parade 5 ¼” x 4”
• Designer Paper: Grid Design: 5” x 3 ¾” plus fussy cut 2 pencils / tape measure and cut strip of tape measure DSP
• Vellum Cardstock: Scrap piece large enough to die cut postage die

Instructions:

• Score and fold Black cardstock at 4 ¼” / Attach White cardstock to inside
• Attach Grid design designer paper onto Poppy Parade and then attach to front of cardstock
• Stamp greeting with Poppy Parade Ink  onto scrap white cardstock and fussy cut.  Attach it to strip of tape measure design and piece together using dimensionals.
• After fussy cutting designer paper elements, attach them to tape measure designer paper with dimensionals (as shown on sample).
• Die cut postage rectangle from Vellum Cardstock and secure with Stampin’ Seal  to left hand side of cardfront, leaving a nice border around the other 3 sides.
• Remove backs from dimensionals and attach your assembly to cardfront over vellum.
• Using hearts die from the Sending Love dies, die cut from Poppy Parade and attach with Glue Dots. 
• Send the love ❤

This card, designed by one of my team members, uses the tools from the Designer Paper as a focal point. It’s a clever way to celebrate special occasions with a nod to precision and craftsmanship.

These trusty tools were fussy cut and arranged in an explosion of excitement to celebrate a birthday … how fun is this card!!

This last card is similar to mine but uses the coordinating stamps verses the designer paper like I used …. using the stamps and dies, you’ll always have it handy!!

At only $5, the Trusty Toolbox Designer Paper is a deal you don’t want to miss. Combine it with the stamp set and dies to create cards that are meaningful, masculine, and oh-so-memorable. Whether you’re crafting for birthdays, anniversaries, or even Christmas, this collection makes it easy to stay on budget while crafting beautiful cards.
