Trusty Tools card – Touches of Ink Blog Hop April 2025

April 9, 2025
10 Comments

9 Apr

Today I’m taking part in the Touches of Ink blog hop, so you may have joined me from Janice Thomson’s blog. Welcome! I’ve used a stamp set that is currently available and will continue to be available in the next annual catalogue too – yippee! Here’s my Trusty Tools card…

ABOUT MY CARD

There is a die set that coordinates with the Trusty Tools stamp set but I chose just to use the stamps for today’s card. I stamped various tools onto a piece of Basic White card with Basic Gray ink and then coloured them with Stampin’ Blends. I’ve listed the colours I used in my product list below.

To fill in some of the small gaps I stamped the screws and bolts with Basic Gray ink too. There are 3 little images on the 1 stamp, so I had to mask some of the stamp off before inking it up. This is a little bit fiddly but worth the effort.

My sentiment is stamped with Azure Afternoon ink onto Basic White card and cut to the same width as my stamped card layer. I backed this with some Azure Afternoon card before adding it to my card. The stamped layer was glued to a Poppy Parade layer and then onto a Basic White Thick card base. I used my Stampin’ Blends to colour some rhinestones for my final touch…
