With Father's Day coming up - well in two days, our son finally decided what he wanted to do for a Father's Day card (Yes - I know - he has a Mother with a Stamp Room full of paper crafting product but it takes him DAYS to make a decision). He needed to go to Hallmark! :-O
I showed him a few cards in my stamp room from previous Card Buffet Classes, but he wanted a larger card.
So, my math brain went into gear and since he loved the fold flat tool box card I made HERE we decided that would be a good one to revamp. It was either that or go to Hallmark!
In the end he made a different card as this one took me too long!
No - he has no patience - not when the UEFA 2016 is on the TV.
So, this is from me to my hubby :)
For the large version I simply doubled all the measurements in the tutorial - which is available FREE HERE.
Because this one is so much larger the brads didn't look quite right so I changed the front to a latch and padlock. The padlock is cut freehand from Silver Card Stock and then sponged with Black stazon

I still used Guy Greetings Stamp set for the sentiments but the tools in that set were no longer in proportion, so I did hand cut them from silver and crumb cake card stock. I drew on the wood grain effect and sponged the 'metal' with black stazon
It still folds flat to put in an envelope too.
Here are the two 'cards' next to one another. The large one is in a 13" x 10" envelope and the small one in a regular 4 3/8" x 5 3/4" envelope.
