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.

Pamzi this just rocks!!! I love how fully you carried out your theme, with the punchez, EF, paper, brads and image. Amazing job, my punchy friend. You know what they say: There's no tool like an old tool! Tee hee and hugz, my friend!

After looking at this card Pamzi, if I didn't know any better I would say you have a bit of a carpenter in you-or maybe it's an electrician with the wiring on this card. Me thinks this could actually be a spy card-it you have it a tool theme you don't have to hide those listening wires. Your FIL will get such a kick out of this-you are so thoughtful.
