Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing birthday themed projects. I have used the Trusty Toolbox dsp to make a masculine birthday card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the birthday card, you will need:
Lost lagoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Trusty Toolbox dsp – 5⅞” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by ½” x 2
Basic White card – 3¼”by 2”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Trusty Toolbox dsp
The thin strips of Basic White card were glued ei ther side of the panel of Trusty Toolbox dsp. I glued the panel to the Lost Lagoon card front.

I die cut a label from the small piece of Basic White card using the Something Fancy Dies.

The sentiment, from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped on the label in Copper Clay ink. I masked off the HAPPY with a Post It Note, inked up the BIRTHDAY using Copper Clay ink. I removed the Post It note and stamped it onto the label. I repeated this step to stamp the BIRTHDAY.

The sentiment label was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Trusty Tools Dies, I die cut a paintbrush from the Trusty Toolbox dsp and added it to the card front using a combination of glue and Dimensionals.
