Rollin' Tool Box Card for Dad by Roni
Hey friends, it's almost time to honor Dad for everything he has done for us, all the times he's been there and for just bein' Dad. Well, today I wanted to share a fun card that I made for my Dad using Rinea's Foiled Papers in Ruby, Ebony, Silver and a touch of Gold.
There are several "tool" dies on the market so be sure to check them all out to see which tools suit your needs.
Step 1 - Cut a sheet of Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper 4 1/2" x 5 3/4".
Step 2 - Emboss this panel using a Diamond Plate embossing folder.
Step 3 - Trim the panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and mount on a black card blank.
Step 4 - Cut a piece of the Ruby/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper 3" x 4" and (4) strips 1/2" x 2 5/8" for drawers.
Step 5 - Run the 3x4" piece through a Xyron and affix to a piece of cardstock to add some bulk.
Step 6 - Adhere the 1/2" strips to the large rectangle approximately 1/4" apart using double stick foam tape. This will make the drawers look like they are slightly open.
Step 7 - Cut four slivers of Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper 1/8" x 2 5/8" and adhere to the tops of each drawer.
Step 8 - Hand cut or punch out two little circles from the Ebony/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper. Affix them to the bottom of the toolbox.
Step 9 - Affix the toolbox to the card using double stick foam tape.
Step 10 - Die cut the set of tools twice, once from Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and once from Ebony/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.
Step 11 - Where appropriate, trim the "handles" from the black die cuts and glue them to the silver tools. I used a bit of gold behind the measuring tape for a bit of contrast.
Step 12 - Glue the tools in the drawers, on top of the toolbox and hanging off the side as desired.
