From the Designer Series Paper, cut up one sheet of tools. Several of them can be cut with dies and many will need to be fussy cut with a scissor. Save all the partial tools -- you can use them behind other tools. When I finished the card fronts, I still had a lot of tools left for inside the cards.
Using the template shown here, cut up the Crushed Curry sheet of Designer Series Paper with the tape measure markings on it. The strip that is 12"x1" can be cut into 4" pieces and used inside the cards -- all the rest will be used on the card fronts.
From the 4 x 6 piece of Smoky Slate cardstock die cut two pegboards. Trim one to 2-1/4 x 3-5/8 and the other to 2-5/8 x 3-5/8,
Cards 1-4: Fold the Pretty Peacock cardstock in half, placing the fold on the left and set aside. Adhere Basic Black cardstock to the back of three 4 x 1-7/8 pieces of DSP and adhere to 3 pieces of 5-1/4 x 4 Basic White cardstock; adhere to the Pretty Peacock card front. For the 4th card, adhere the triangle pieces of DSP to the Basic White cardstock. Using Memento Black ink, stamp greetings on the 4 cards. Adhere the tools using either liquid glue or dimensionals.
Cards 5-8: Fold the Smoky Slate cardstock in half. I placed the fold at the top for 3 cards and on the left for 1 card. Cut the 4x4 pieces of Basic Black cardstock in half diagonally. Adhere a triangle piece of DSP to the Basic Black cardstock and then adhere to the front of the Smoky Slate Card.
Using Memento Black ink, stamp a greeting directly on one card front and on scraps of Basic White cardstock. Back these greetings with Basic Black cardstock and adhere to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Place a dot of liquid glue on both ends of the strip of Gray Granite cardstock and adhere to the card with the greeting stamped on front.
Adhere tools as shown using either liquid glue or Stampin' Dimensionals. Note that many of these tools are partial tools.
Cards 9-10: Fold the two pieces of Smoky Slate cardstock in half, placing the fold on the left.
Adhere the 5-1/8 x 1-7/8 strips of Designer Series Paper to the 5-1/4 x 2-1/8 strips of Basic
Black cardstock and then adhere to the front of the card.
Stamp a greeting in Memento Black directly on a card front in the lower right corner. Put a dot of liquid glue on a strip of Gray Granite cardstock and adhere it to the front of the card.
Stamp another greeting on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and then back it with a scrap of Basic Black cardstock. Adhere to the front of the second card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Adhere the tools using liquid glue or dimensionals. Note that many of these tools are partial tools.
Cards 11-12: Fold the Basic Black cardstock in half, placing the fold at the left.
Adhere the 5-1/4 x 4 DSP to the front of the card.
Adhere the smaller Smoky Slate pegboard piece to the front of one card. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, adhere the drill to the card. Stamp a greeting on Basic White cardstock and adhere to the front of the card.
Adhere the larger Smoky Slate pegboard piece to the front of the other card. Put a dot of liquid glue on either end of the Crushed Curry strip of cardstock and adhere it to the front of the card toward the botton of the pegboard.
