Totally Tool cards -- on a roll!

And then I got on a roll of making some cards with Stampin' Up!'s Totally Tool set that is in the April - June 2009 Occasions Mini catalog. I rather enjoyed coloring and cutting out those little tools. The sentiments are from And Many Mower in same catalog. I still want to make one or two more tool cards -- have some brads from the local scrapbooking store that the top is made to look like the screws you use a Phillips head screwdriver with. Gotta incorporate some of them!
One card is a tool belt -- top “shirt” part is SU designer series paper; bottom is Brocade Blue.
CASED from: Pure-Genius - card posted March 10, 2009. Technically the little strap that the hammer is hanging from should be closer to the bottom edge of the tool belt -- but I was running out of card room at the bottom, so I moved it up.


This pegboard like card is CASED from: _____________ I'll have to go back and find that and edit this post to give the original creator credit. Those are small silver brads holding the tools and in the open spaces on the "pegboard."


This card reminds me of a shelf in a workshop -- the brick looking paper is from “To The Nines” specialty designer series paper which is neat paper - it is textured as well as decorative paper. CASED from: swain78 - card posted March 28, 2009

Very awesome cards Helen! It's really hard for me to make "manly" ones! You did a great job!
