Created this Tools Birthday card for hubby's birthday
next yr. Just will need to remember where I put it since
it will be for next yr.

Used Spellbinders die. Used embossing folder that has
tools on it. Used VersaMark ink & chalk on the embossed
tool images to give them a black look Used buttons.
Used VersaMark ink & chalk on the button to give them a
green look.

    1. Yes, we do seem to be making similar cuts such as the window. For mine I used a Spellbinder which I find if I use a small piece of Scotch tape to hold the die in place on the paper it does not move and then fold the card at the crease line and place the backside over the top plate so it would not get cut or creased or smooshed.
