all day your way!

Hey everybody! Happy July 1st! I have but one question… how did July get here so fast?! I’m delighted to share that one of my little matchbooks scored a Top 5 honor in May over at Scrapping4fun Challenges and the lovely Rachelle invited me to guest design in an upcoming challenge, so here I am, just in time for Challenge #225 – Birthday! Rachelle and the Scrapping4fun Challenges blog both have birthdays this month, so a big ol’ Happy Birthday to them – and what better way to celebrate than to have a birthday-themed challenge!

I have sooooo many cut files in my arsenal and had the urge to play, so I got out my Scan N Cut and a cut file from SVG Cuts, and created an awesome toolbox box card for Ed’s birthday. Needless to say, he loved it! With all this amazing detail, who wouldn’t?!

Using my Scan N Cut and the SVG Cuts Toolbox Box Card cut file, I cut the toolbox, tools and note pad from CutCardStock Basis Navy, Basis Gray, Stardream Metallic Silver, Pop Tone Lemon Drop and Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock. I also used a couple patterned papers from The Paper Studio Entirely Textures 2 12×12 paper pad and P13 Always and Forever 6×8 design paper pack.

I always totally enjoy the assembly of projects like this – it’s so fun watching them come to life! I used the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set for the front sentiment and the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set for the back sentiment, both stamped in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink.

Here’s one final shot of the card folded flat ready to put in the envelope.
