With Father’s Day around the corner, I found myself inspired to create some masculine cards. I dove into “man town” mode, crafting a Flash Pop Up card using the Stampin’ Up Trusty Tools Stamps and Dies bundle. These tools are incredibly fun to work with, and I’ve created several other fun fold card tutorials using them, which you can find below. The Trusty Tools bundle truly brings a “wow” factor to every project.

Card Design
The front of the card features a charming toolbox with various tools. Upon opening the card, a pegboard pops up, revealing hidden tools for an extra surprise. I added a painted brush and some designer paper designed to look like a paint streak across the inside. This interactive element adds a delightful touch that will surely impress the recipient.

About the Trusty Tools Stamps and Dies
The Trusty Tools Dies are perfect for recognizing the builders in your life. You can create a pegboard as a card background or a toolbox on the card front, then add a variety of die-cut tools hanging on the board or emerging from the box. These die-cut tool designs can also be used separately as accents to embellish your projects. Pair them with your chosen sentiments to celebrate husbands, dads, and other special men in your life.

Mailing this Card
This card is a standard size and fits inside a standard Stampin’ Up Medium Sized envelope. However, if you plan to mail it rather than hand-deliver it, be aware that it might need to be hand-canceled at the post office, which could incur a small additional cost due to its width.

Instructions
For those interested in making this card, I have provided a template, step-by-step instructions, measurements, and a complete supply list in a convenient free PDF below in the INSTRUCTIONS section. Additionally, I’ve shared a video class demonstrating how to create the Flash Pop Out Fold Technique, so you can follow along easily.

I hope you enjoy creating this card as much as I did. Happy crafting and have a wonderful Father’s Day!
