I struggle with masculine cards so this is perfect for me and I made it into a super simple fun fold as well.

Directions:

Cut Lost Lagoon Card Stock to 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". 

Emboss the card front using the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder. This is another free with purchase offer!

Cut 2 coordinating pieces of the Trusty Toolbox DSP, 3" x 5 1/4" for the card front and 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" for the inside. Adhere to card.

Cut a 2 3/8" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S for the inside. Adhere to inside of card.

Stamp using Memento Black Ink the dotted border from the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set. Stamp the sentiment using Poppy Parade Ink onto the left side of the label. Punch out with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.  

Also punch out a Basic Black C/S hexagon, cut it in half from the top to the bottom and layer behind the Basic White stamped hexagon just so a little border of black shows.

Loop up some Linen Thread and attach to the back left side of the label. Attach the label to the card front using Dimensionals only on the left side. See photos for placement.

Fussy cut some of the tools and attach them to the label. 

Using the tiny + or x stamp from the He's All That Stamp Set, stamp it 5-7 onto Basic White C/S with Memento Black, Basic Grey and Smoky Slate Inks. Punch them all out with a small 1/4" circle punch. Using the Silicone Craft Sheet and the Fine Tip Glue, add a dot of glue to each + covering them completely. (I had an old bottle of Crystal Effects that I used to cover them.) Let them dry. This is how you can make your own embellishments to fit your card! I think they look like a screw head! Attach them to the card using a Glue Dot or Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. 

Use another piece of the Trusty Toolbox DSP to decorate your envelope. 

This is a great card for that handy person in your life!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
