OOPS! I posted this early by mistake! OH WELL!
Now is this set not adorable??? I believe he is called Jack of all trades! He is being released by C.C. Designs on the 4th.
I so needed another cool guy set! I LOVE cutesy. You can’t have a cutesy handyman without a tool box right? I love making boxes and gift items-with cards to match. I had SO MUCH FUN making this tool box 😀 It was perfect with my handmade hammer accessory, and my cool Lowe’s gift card holder tin. I almost altered that, but liked it as is.
Here is a close up
How cute would it be for your kids to decorate one for their dad? They can make/buy what they think should go inside of it?
There is also a lined background coming out with this release and I used it on my toolbox. Can you see it? I stamped it in Walnut ink. I also used my Tim Holtz distress inks (my faves are linen, tea dye and walnut), and randomly rubbed them side to side on this for a woodgrain look. Added some screw style brads for that added “look” of a real tool box. I liked the pencil handle for a more handyman feel. The measuring tape ribbon was another cute touch.
I created the hammer just for FUN, as another thing to add to the box. It’s good size. Made with some punches. No biggie.
I made the tool box using a 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of Kraft cardstock.
Here is the template below-CLICK IT TO ENLARGE. Keep in mind Im NOT a pro making this-is just a little guideline to help you a bit, if you need a more visual idea. NOT a print and cut template!
Im no Paint Shop wizard. I recommend making any template with copy paper FIRST, that way you can work out any kink’s or question’s you may have. If you get it perfect first time, then you have a real template to reference in the future 😀
THIS IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY PLEASE 😀 No contest or publication submissions.
Directions:
1)Along the 11 inch side – score at 3 and 8. This will be the SIDE panels of your toolbox and will be LONGER than the front/back piece.
2) Along the 8 1/2 side – score at 2 and 6 1/2. This becomes the front of you tool box.
3) Trim along scored edges to center. In photo you will see a little extra left on either side of the 3 and 8 mark. That is so you have excess on your panels that adhere the ends together. Cut away the X’s-that is excess cardstock
4) Use tag corner punch on tool box sides. I also cut 2 pieces of cardstock 1 1/2 wide by 3 inches long. Use tag corner on those as well. Punch 2 holes large enough to fit a pencil through. Adhere to inner side panels-as seen in photo.
5) For front of box cut away from panel as you see fit. I just used my ruler and hobby blade for an even look.
Decorate as desired!
Now for the card 😀
The little square at the top is suppose to be like blueprints. I stamped the bkgd going across, then up and down for a grid paper appearance. I then scribbled 1 2 3 4-for like steps in the project. Scribbled a picture too.
Just a fun card.
Well I hope you likey!
Thanks for checkin in with me here.
Till tomorrow.
Lauren

This is darling. I love the little tool box. I think the tape measure ribbon is perfect too. The brads too. I could go on and on. Great job!
OMG Lauren!!! This is fabulous, your brilliant!!! This is an AWESOME project, I luv it! Leave it to you to think of something so fabulous! Where on earth did you find that ribbon??? This would have been a perfect card/project for my son a few years ago when he remodeled his condo himself. I did make him a scrapbook about it all but this card would have completed the gift. Oh well I guess for his next birthday maybe… Great job Lauren, you continue to amaze me!

WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW-OMG SHREEK! – OMG SHREEK! -WOW-WOW-WOW
Lauren, you are a gifted genius, and I mean that from the tips of my toes to the top of my head. You continue to ~*AMAZE*~ me with your mind-blowing creations and designs.
I wonder what you were in a “Past Life”? Perhaps an Egyptian architect who designed the Pyramids thousands of years ago. Obviously, you have been granted an amazing ~gift~ that allows you to invision objects in your mind, and then change them, with great ease, into these wonderous paper creations.
Since I wasn’t blessed with this particular ~gift~, the very next best thing is being part of your blog and watching you evolve into this stunning artist.
BRAVO Miss Lauren 🙂
This is super SUPER cute! Does your brain ever rest?! This is amazing!
Lauren…Once again you knock me out with your creativity! I was searching for some inspiration for my dad for Father’s Day (he’s 87) and this will absolutely fit the bill. It is so cute and so cool. Thank you for sharing.
Have a wonderful day!

W-O-W!!!! Girl….you are so stinkin’ creative! That is such a cute thing. And so great for any man. (boy) Thanks for showing a “boy” thing. It is easy to make things for girls, ladies or women. But boys are hard to make things for. At least for me!
