Trusty Tools Father’s Day Card

Happy Father’s Day! Today’s the perfect day to honor all the amazing dads, grandpas, and father figures out there. What better way to do that than with a handmade card straight from the heart? I created this card for my husband using Stampin’ Up!’s Trusty Tools stamp set and coordinating dies.

🔧 Card Details
This card features a fun, hand-cut faux denim pocket filled with stamped and die-cut tools. To create the realistic metallic look, I stamped the tops of the wrench and hammer onto Silver Foil Sheets using Memento Black ink, then heat embossed them with Clear Embossing Powder. Next, I stamped the same tools onto Basic White cardstock and colored the handles using Stampin’ Blends markers. I carefully cut out each piece with my Paper Snips and adhered the embossed silver tops to the colored handles for a dimensional, layered effect.

The woodgrain background gives the card a rustic, workshop feel, and the sentiment “Happy Father’s Day” is heat embossed in white directly onto the pocket for a bold, clean look.

🎨 Creative Tips

• Use Night of Navy white-core two-toned cardstock and sand it with a small piece of sandpaper to give it a denim look.
• Add some faux stitching with a white gel-pen.
• Pop the pocket up with Dimensionals to give the card depth and dimension.

👨‍🔧 This project is perfect for the guy who’s always there to fix what’s broken, and for all the love and support he gives year round.

Wishing all the amazing dads a wonderful day! 💙
