Finished this layout during last Wednesday's Scrapbook with me. I knew as soon as I saw the Trusty Tools stamps and dies from Stampin' Up that these would be perfect for Father's Day as Mike is definitely a very handy husband. I used the stamps and dies along with some of the 6"x6" 2023-2025 In Color paper and the Metal Plate embossing folder to create this layout.
I converted the sketch from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" to work with the album size I am currently using. I changed it from 6 spaces on the photo mat to just 4 to work with the layout size change. I added a background mat to the photo mat using pieces of the In Color patterned paper. For the scallop strip I embossed the cardstock first using the Metal Plate embossing folder before I used a scallop punch to make the border. I die cut the title using a die from the Something Fancy set and the tab at the top using the Keeping Tabs die. I did cut and stamped the tools using the cardstock, Memento Ink, and some silver paper from my stash. To embellish the layout I used some of the Smoky Slate and Basic Grey Pearls along with some ribbon from my stash.
I hope you like these layout. Thanks for stopping by!
