Today’s card is a peak at the Father’s Day card I made for my boys to give to their father. My mother-in-law teases my husband that he married up but truth be told I believe it is the other way round, in the husband and father department! He is the best father to our four boys and I could not have gotten a better one so I wanted the card to be as fun and special as he is! The Trusty Toolbox DSP is a Level One Sale-a-bration reward that coordinates with the Trusty Tools bundle from the current Mini Catalog! If you like it you’ll need to place that order today!

My base card and inside card are cut from Gray Granite cardstock and the DSP mattes are Basic White

Adhere all the Basic White square mattes to the Designer Series paper squares. and score the 3″ x 9″ paper at 3″ and 6″

Mount the DSP matted squares in the desired order – I stamped the gray Granite square with Happy Father’s Day sentiment from the Trusty Tools stamp set in Copper Clay ink and placed it in the center position.

I took a scrap of Basic White cardstock and stamped DAD is Crushed Curry in and then stamped you’re the most awesome in Copper Clay ink over the left hand side.
I mounted that sentiment piece on a Real Red cardstock matte.

I mounted the two rectangular DSP pieces on their white mattes and the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece on it’s matte.
I scored the base card at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″.

I adhered the matted DSP to the card base.

Fold the 3″ x 9″ piece into and accordian and place the back side in the middle of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP. Open the top fold and fold over the front card panel.
Adhere the left hand side only to the front panel of the card.
Then adhere the back of the square panel and fold the card closed to adhere the back pieces together.

I adhered the sentiment piece to the front of the card across both the front panel and the front 3″ piece.

One of the best things about this suite is that the dies coordinate with some of the tools on the DSP so I die cut some of them for embellishments for this fun double Z fold card!
I added some of the new cork embellishments around the sentiment to finish off this sweet card! I love the way it turned out – now I have to wait until JUNE to give it to him! LOL!

If you have masculine cards to make this is such a great set! Make sure if you want any Sale-a-bration rewards that you get your order in before the end of Leap Day and Happy Leap Day tomorrow! Now go and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!
