Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects based on a colour challenge. The colours we were given screamed ‘MASCULINE’ to me so I used the new Trusty Tools stamp set which will be available in my online shop from the 4th of January 2024.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the trusty tools card, you will need:
Shaded Spruce card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Night of Navy card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3” by 3”
Night of Navy card – 3” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
I began by stamping the hammer, wrench and paint brush images from the Trusty Tools stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Back ink.

Using Crushed Curry, Shaded Spruce and Night of Navy ink, I stamped the infill handles of the hammer and the paintbrush.

Shaded Spruce and Night of Navy Blends Pens were used to add ‘paint’ to the paint brushes. The decorated panel was then glued to the Night of navy layer and then to the Shaded Spruce card base.

The sentiment, from the Throughout the Year stamp set, was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto the square of Basic White card. I then punched the sentiment out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I stamped the ‘nuts and bolts’ image in Crushed Curry ink above and below the sentiment.

I punched another hexagon from the Shaded Spruce square, cut it in half from side to side and added it to the back of the sentiment so that a little of the Shaded Spruce showed at the top and bottom.

The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals and a trio of 2023 – 2025 In Color Dots completed the card.
