Back again on the Dies R Us Blog
Today I am sharing a masculine birthday card I have made for my brother in law, Tim. He's a handy kind of guy, just like his brother! ;)
I started by adding some great texture to my card base panel, using a Darice Chevrons Embossing Folder. Have you checked out the variety of Embossing Folders we now carry in the Dies R Us Store? Go ahead, I'll wait!
I then cut a piece of white card stock using the Tutti Designs Cross Stitch Nesting-Rectangles, this made for a great focal panel to place my Tutti Designs Dies Tools. I only used 5 of them, but this set comes with 6...that's SIX Tools, 2 different sized Nails and a Bolt die....that is an amazing set for such a low, low price!!!
I cut my Tools 3 times each. Once from chipboard, colored and glitter card stock and foiled paper. Then I just assembled them all together. Added a few 'screw' brads and stamped my Happy Birthday sentiment by Gina K Designs, Pleasant Plurals in Pacific Blue ink.
I also backed my focal panel with Fun Foam to give it some dimension and a nice sturdy feel.
This card will also be entered into the Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!
Here's What I used:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy~~
