Trusty Tools - Round Up

 

A quick group shot of the Trusty Tools card designs made so far... just scroll back through the last 7 posts to see the individual cards and more details...

Edited to Add! Free Shipping promotion extended until the end of today Wednesday, 24 July.

It was Free Shipping for 24 hours only yesterday... but it turned out to be another day of worldwide internet issues! (You should have heard my DH when he got back from work!!!) ... so huge apologies if you tried and failed yesterday... but happily Stampin' Up! have extended the promotion so you don't miss out after all...

Trusty Tools #5 - Tower Column Card

  

Fifth (and final for now!) in my series of Fun or Fancy Fold cards created using the Trusty Tools dies and stamps along with the Trusty Tool box papers...

Simple fun fold card... but oh so very effective... 

And we liked these cards so much in classes that there will probably be more coming at a later date!

Trusty Tools #4 - Tower Column Card

 

Fourth in my in a series of Fun or Fancy Fold cards created using the Trusty Tools dies and stamps along with the Trusty Tool box papers...

Simple fun fold card... but oh so very effective... 

Trusty Tools #3 - Double Diorama Card

 

Third in my series of Fun or Fancy Fold cards created using the Trusty Tools dies and stamps along with the Trusty Tool box papers...

But before I start... the Bonus Days promotion is now live... 

When you shop between 3 and 31 July and spend £45 you will earn a £4.50 coupon! One coupon/code for every £45 spent... A code will be sent for each "coupon" by email right after a qualifying purchase has been made.  Then you can redeem them between 1 and 31 August. 

So back to today's card... this time a Large Square (aka 6" Square) Double Layer Diorama card...

Sadly the retired Trusty Toolbox papers were an exclusive free-to-earn product during the Sale A Bration promotion last January and February... and so are not available to order any more... 

But the images in the Trusty Tools stamps & dies bundle produce most of those tool images... 

The tool-box is die cut using the Trusty Tool Box dies... greeting using the fabulous Wanted to Say dies... and silver background texture care of the Metal Plate embossing folder...

Trusty Tools #2... and 16 years already!

Before I share the next in my Trusty Tools series of cards....

I must admit that I'm celebrating an anniversary today... 16 years of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! Wow! Seriously doesn't seem that long... but you know what they say about when you are enjoying something!!! 

Anyways... back to today's card... 

Another Bench Fold card... 

Well its been a while since I made one!

Trusty Tools Diorama Card to say Happy Fathers Day...

First in a series of Fun or Fancy Fold cards created using the Trusty Tools dies and stamps along with the Trusty Tool box papers...

A simple Large Square (aka 6" Square) Diorama card...

Sadly the retired Trusty Toolbox papers were an exclusive free-to-earn product during the Sale A Bration promotion last January and February... and so are not available to order any more... 

But the images in the Trusty Tools stamps & dies bundle produce most of those tool images... and you can die cut a pegboard background to achieve the same... 

You could also use a small scrap off a grid sheet for the tape measure element! Fathes Day greeting from the Trusty Tools stamp set... and the tool-box is die cut using the Trusty Tool Box dies...

And had to smile to myself when using the "So Happy You're Here " greeting... as my father is always saying " If I am still here then"... so the greeting had to be used!! It certainly made him laugh out loud!!! FYI - both small greetings from the long retired Well Said stamp set

Fun Fold Friday - One for the Boys

A quick share today of one of my Men in May cards... the first in quite a long series...

Oh and do spot the whisky glass created from the tankard stamp! Giving you more for your money with this stamp set...

Sorry that is is such a quick share today... last week's holiday has meant that life this week has been not as planned and a bit hectic! 

And I am now very behind with creations for next weeks class!  Hey Ho... another busy week ahead then... good job I like it that way!
