Trusty Tools for As You See It Challenge #316

As you read this, I am nearly on my way to the Caribbean to enjoy some time in the sun, to break up the winter doldrums. That's one way to overcome the winter blues! The other way I often cheer my self up in the dead of winter is to buy more craft supplies!! What? You, too? Huh! I'd never have guessed! 

Well, then, you could play along with As You See It Challenges newest event, our Fill-In-The-Blank Challenge #316, entitled "Yes, I do Need a Bigger Craft Room!" Thanks to our team member Jan, this one was fun to do, because, presumably one really likes their latest craft purchase and can't wait to play with it. Such was the case for the Trust Tool Bundle! I was trying to use my time very wisely, knowing that I had a Catalogue Launch before and two new AYSI Challenges in the time I was on holidays, so I needed 2 cards for both. I designed the 2 cards for the catalogue launch based on the criteria for the 2 challenges.  Here's the challenge banner for the first:

I made a Father's Day card using the tools and sentiments from the Trusty Tools stamp set and coloured them in various ways, then die cut them with the Trust Tools Dies. I used the dies for the background as well as some of the Trusty Toolbox DSP, which is a coordinating Sale-A-Bration reward you could earn if you bought the Trusty Tools bundled (or any other products that totaled $60 before tax and shipping)!

Purchase this bundle yourself if you want to make awesome masculine cards, or feminine cards too, judging from all the female DIYers out there on Instagram and TicToc.
