Good Sunday morning all! With Father's Day right around the corner (in both the UK and the US, perhaps even Canada, Australia and others), I thought I would share a super simple card for you. I started with a piece of tan card and used the
Stitched Pegboard die set to create a Faux Pegboard background for my card. I used the stitched dies in the set to add a multi layer frame of tan and
Antique silver card for interest. I layered them up with mounting foam. From the
In The Tool Box die set, I cut all the various tool dies and added
silver paint pen for the metallic look on them. I glued them all to the pegboard background as if they were from a neat an organised garage (who are they kidding!LOL) Finally I added the Best Husband sentiment stacked a few times to it, but you could easily adapt for Father's Day or birthdays too! I completed the card with white, tan and silver mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Great card! Sue xxx
Love all these tool dies,they are so different and definitely very useful. The pegboard is such a great way of displaying them. Good card for any occasion.
The swirliness of the sentiment contrasts nicely with the straight rows of pegboard and tidy tools. And you're right, the silver frame adds interest.
I tried Caught in Crystal today with limited success. I'll keep trying.
Best,
Donita
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card here today, I have made some similar to this and they have gone down a storm, can be used for anyone really, a budding DIY'er or a even the lady of the house, yes there are many of us out there who would use these tools.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi there Sue. I love this set, although I admit to only using it once so far and made a messy looking tool box (rather more realistic for some I'd say) lol it's great fun but for those that struggle with tiny dies due to finger problems it can be rather hard and frustrating (the sticky bud tool plus other inventions have been tried) so it may take longer to complete a card but it's so worth the high blood pressure, *tuts* and sighs lol and with all the different colour inks and colouring media's it's so easy to colour the spirit level so it looks like a real branded tool. I may have completely lost all enthusiasm and my mojo may have followed our Sam a good few hundred miles from here but I still love getting inspiration for when it returns so love and hugs to you Sue and hope your Sunday is a great day xxx
Great card Sue and perfect for Father's Day

Morning Sue.
A great card thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
One for the boys woohoo and what a great card Sue, love it. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Beautiful card! Love this set, it's just perfect for a lot of men :D
Great masculine card! Love the tools done with the silver pen rather than the tools cut twice in brown and silver then pieced together, it looks much more like metal with the pen. Debra x
Good Morning Sue. Yeayyyy a man card .... and a brilliant sample too. Just in time for fathers day as well. I love the tools set always comes in handy for those pesky man cards. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
GM Sue. Fab card. If only my hubbys tools were this tidy!
I am never short of ideas for men, just one rule, No Sport, as I am told by quite a few that they get sick of cards with a sport theme. However I am sure most of them would love these and done in a red or a pink I know a good few women who would love them too.
This one is lovely
Hugs Helen xx
Hi Sue

Thank you for to days card. I have to say I love the stitched peg board die set and its one of my go to die sets. I also got the tool kit and been making a few cards for Fathers day charity sale. The silver pen has been great tip and save hours of paper piecing .

Morning Sue, great card. I've used these tools to make a variety of cards even for my stepson's birthday who hasn't a clue about DIY. I thought it would make a great educational 'tool' and save us a job!!
Enjoy your weekend everyone. Hugs xx Pauline

Hi Sue,
Love all your DIY and gardening tool dies - and it's surprising how realistic they look with just a dab of silver paint pen...and again perfect squared-up framing for the whole card - did you use a spirit level? lol
Izzy

Good morning Sue,
A fabulous fun card but unfortunately I don't have any diy enthusiasts in family who would appreciate this card. Yvonne xx

Love always june Horrocks xxxxx
Another super men's card> Love the way it is set out and the colours of card.

Hi Sue
I love this card and the tools look great but I don't know many DIYers unfortunately, I usually end up doing the jobs myself!
Hi Sue, a lovely CAS card today for any DIY enthusiast whatever the colours. This would have been good for my husband years ago but unfortunately although he is no longer able to do much DIY he is still able to tell me what tools I should be using! :-) I bought the pegboard to hang all my gardening tools on and love it.
We have a lovely sunny day here but I hope that no-one has suffered from the overnight thunderstorms in the South and West.

Hi Sue

Hello Sue.
Great card, lovely dies and so useful for male cards. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi Sue,
I wish my garage looked like that! Or even a bit of it. It's a fabulous card, that pegboard die is so versatile - it grows on you that's for sure.
Hugs, Rose
My husband thinks I should make a card with this sentiment for him! Ideal card for men, but soon adapted for a female DIYer. Thank you Sue.
Great card Sue. Thank you.
Hi Sue,
I love the tool kit.
Thank you for sharing.

Very timely Sue, thanks for the kick start!!!
Excellent card for that man who has a hobby using these tools....luv Ursula xx

Hi Sue this is a fabulous card for those men folk. I was stuck for ideas so

Hi Sue
I always love any inspiration for those 'pesky men' cards x
Mind you I have a friend who is a dab hand with a tool box so she would love this card x

Hi Sue, Great male card. Would be perfect for my OH his garage really does look as neat as this. (My craft room drives him mad)
Lovoe Brenda xxx
Great card Sue. My husband son and daughter would love this xx
Such a cute "manly" card today. I love all the little tools and have enjoyed the pegboard die set.
Donita, you will conquer the "Caught in Crystal" technique. I have only used alcohol inks but I got the C/S colored lacquers and can't wait to try out. I do have to use alcohol ink for a swap so that may wait. I just got home from the beach so rather behind (including laundry!).
Everyone, a Happy Monday...Memorial Day here,

Super card. The tools are so realistic.
Hi Sue,
I love the tool kit and this card fits my husband to a T. He is not only the best husband, but he is both handy and very well organized; all his tools are always where they should be.(I wish I could say the same about myself. At least I have a good memory and I can easily remember where I left a certain die set or a stamp etc.) So this will be a great birthday card for him or for Father’s day. Thank you for the inspiration.
Hugs from Toronto to you all and special hugs to all missing friends.
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only across the pond Wilsonette

Hi Sue, a great card. I love all the cute little tool elements, especially the drill. Great for those who do DIY or work with tools.
Very cool :)
Love all these tools..a wonderful card Sue
Hi sue
I like your card very much. Not often we get a card for our male friends. Very versatile too, as I know there are a few handy ladies too that would suit this card.
Love it!
Love n hugs
