One For The Guys!

Welcome to Creatin' With Kirsteen and welcome to the Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Achievers Blog Hop for February.
If you get off track at any time, the full line up of blogs is at the bottom of this post and can help you move along from blog to blog.
This month our theme is 'One for the guys'.

Today's project is a Father's Day Card - a Box Card.
There's lots of box cards around, like these that I have made previously (click on the photos to see the posts)

So I decided to make one in the shape of those iconic red Tool Boxes.
Like all Box Cards - it closes flat to pop into an envelope to mail....

This is what it looks like out of the envelope - flat

Then stand it up - it looks like an open red tool box.....

But - the lid flips over and closes too!!!

If you downloaded the tutorial before 8.30pm CT Wednesday - the score lines are missing on the file :(
I updated the file and you are welcome to download again. I am so sorry for the boo-boo. The measurements are 1⁄2”, 2’, 61⁄4”, 7 3⁄4”

UPDATE: Here is a larger version - suitable for the Occasions Catalog Tools!

Oh Kirsteen - you had me at a tool-filled card-in-a-box. But that fold-over lid? TOTALLY COOL!
Have a terrific day and God Bless, ~Cynthia <><

Love this toolbox card. Thank-you for sharing. I looked at the tutorial and do not see the numbers for where to score the first sheet of card stock. Love your work!

Really cute, but the tutorial won't open for me. I've installed the most recent Adobe pdf Reader for my OS, but not luck getting the tut to open. :( Please advice.

Oops! Nevermind, I got the pdf link to open to where your tut is stored. Thanks again for the tut!
