I've used Stampin' Up!'s Totally Tool stamp set quite a bit. Seems like all the men in our family are into "tools", so I get lots of opportunity! I liked the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches (FMS34), so decided to use it for the basis of my card!
So here is my card!
The base of my card is Early Espresso cardstock. I cut two different patterns from Well Worn Designer Paper. The stripe I layered onto Marina Mist cardstock to make it pop a little more. I placed those on the front and added River Rock cardstock across the bottom, stamping the words with Early Espresso Ink. I used the back side of the Marina Mist Scallop Dots Ribbon to hide the seam and adhered in the back.
I stamped the hammer with Black Stazon on Very Vanilla cardstock and watercolored with my AquaPainter and Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Basic Gray Stampin' Write Markers. I punched with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch and layered on a 2 3/4" Circle of Early Espresso cut with the Circle Scissors Tool. It is popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I added three Antique Brass brads for the "nails" in the upper right corner.
I like it…hope you do, too! Make sure you order the Totally Tool stamp set and Well Worn Designer Paper before they retire at the end of the month!
Connie – I love this card. It is a perfect masculine card which I never seem to make. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great masculine card, Connie! Your colouring on the tool is superb 🙂
Connie – sorry I have been so deliquent in leaving comments. But, this one I had to take a quick minute to say thanks for this – I love it! So fun! Sometimes you need just a card to say hi or whatever (esp a guy) and this works so well with this DP! Love your choice of papers and coloring! Great job as always!
Great card, Connie!
Love your card, this dsp is one of my favorites and I really like the stamp set for masculine cards.
Love this card Connie. Hope you added it to the LNS challenge folder this week. It is definitely one set that will be missed.
Oh my gosh, Connie! This is such a fabulous Man Card! I'm so sad to see that stamp set and DSP go! Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
