I have such a hard time using this SU Totally Tool set, but I tried to add bits and pieces to bring together the theme which is - you guessed it - TOOLS!
I used silver diamond plated paper and embossed the white card stock with a diamond plated ef.
I white embossed the image on the center panel which was border punched at the bottom with the *I can't remember the name* SU punch.
I used the SU Cog Punch for the small and large cogs - both sizes on one punch. I added screws to the insides of the cogs. I tore the right hand side of the white card stock and stamped the circular birthday sentiment with a washer and screw in the middle.
I thought adding a little random wiring around the screws and the border punch added a bit to the theme; however, I can't guarantee you won't get electrocuted!!
I think that's about it. I've been working on this darn card for quite awhile trying to get it to come together. Not sure if I accomplished it, but I certainly tried.
It's for my FIL's birthday which I think is kind of funny b/c he is retired now and living at The Villages in Florida - a Disney World for the Retired so to speak - and sold most of his tools. But, he still has some and maybe he can add some of these to his new stash!
Thanks for taking a look and have a great evening.

Debz, who wants to have listening devices on retired people. They're too happy. I want to spy on miserable and criminal people. Hmmm....could there be one hiding in one of the cards I've sent you or ALL of the cards I've sent to you. Better go investigate immediately!

Look, Pamzi, you and I and our hubbies are reaching retirement age. Are you telling me that you have nothing interesting happening in your life? Hmm? My mom disguises herself as a gentle granny while out spying for the Canadian Government. I'm going to have to rein her in... I really wonder what they are up to in that retirement community. Look a Pat! She tried to fool me by calling herself Blooms in A Box. You think that escaped me! Hunh? IQ 9999 signing off for the moment

Pamzi - this is wonderful! What a super duper guy card. Love the cogs, the wires, that awesome paper, and all the other super details like that great image. This is one of THE BEST tool cards ever! Wow! You are the top dog boy card maker right now - in my book anyway. If Benzi uses that train stamp again though she may knock you off the pedastall. Love, love, love your creation. Hugz to you SIS!!!!
