Our colour this week is Poppy Parade, a lovely bright red that certainly packs a punch!
As there’s only just over a week left of Sale-a-bration, I’m sharing a birthday card I made in November for my youngest son who is halfway through his electrical apprenticeship. He loves his tools so the Sale-a-bration Trusty Toolbox DSP was simply perfect for him!

Apart from being a great DSP for masculine cards, what I particularly love about the Trusty Toolbox DSP is that the tool sheets have been designed to be die cut out using the Trusty Tools dies. This makes card making a breeze!

My simple silver tool box and handle were die cut from silver foil, mounted onto the card front using Dimensionals and then it was simply a matter of die cutting the tools from the DSP and arranging them into the tool box.

The tape measure is also a strip of Trusty Toolbox DSP. I love that there are both inches and centimetres on this particular design.

The “Happy birthday” sentiment is from the Hello Kiwi stamp set. I love the modern masculine font on this stamp set.

Die cut offcuts from the DSP that weren’t used on the card front decorate the inside of my card.
