I bought these tools (www.orientaltrading.com) not knowing what I'd do with them - and when they arrived...they are big and heavy!
I stamped the sentiment on the card inside - but otherwise there is no stamping on this card - please use this as an idea if you too, bought these tool embellishments - .
This card is my creation for my dear husband from me and the children.
I drew a grid on the back of the white cardstock at 1/2" intervals, then punched with an anywhere 1/8" hole punch at every intersection to resemble pegboard.
Brads hold some of the tools in place; for other tools the brad is strictly for decorative purposes and held in place with a glue dot.
Sentiments are from 7gypsies Fatherhood stickers, mounted on 7gypsies sticker foam pieces.
card size: A6 (6-3/8" x 4-5/8"); SU caramel, black and white cardstock; 1/8" anywhere hole punch, ruler, pencil, 7gypsies foam pieces, 7gyspies stickers, 1-3/8" circle punch, black brads.

Really cute card. I also saw these embelishments & wondered what I'd ever do w/ them, but you've given me an idea for my very handy BIL. I'll just have to case this for his Oct b'day. TFS & IMF

very clever! my husband would ejoy something like this...as i type he's building a loft bed for one of our sons!
Anyhow he has lots of pegboard and other various organizational this and that's in his workshop.
I'll have to lookmore closely at OTC.
