Hello! Kari V. here today with some masculine hammered steel and tools cards. I have THREE ideas for you using one of the stamps from the April Kit. My husband likes Makita tools… so I created some cards using the iconic teal/blue color.
If you have been a Hedgehog Hollow subscriber for a while, you might recognize the background stamp that looks like the metal tool box design. I think these work so well together!
My favorite background might be that one on the left that I created using a SILVER ink pad! Have you ever tried the ink pad swiping technique? So cool. I have all the details and processes in the video below, or watch it in HD on YouTube:
For the card on the right, I got a little creative in creating a Peg Board…by using a DOTTED embossing folder! If you have a stitching die that creates all the holes in the paper that would be so great for making a peg board card!
I love this fixologist stamp. The little tools are from a cut file that I cut out with my Silhouette machine, but there are so many great tool dies out there that would be perfect for these cards.
I also have a tip for adhering vellum without seeing the adhesive in my video. I used the vellum for this card:
I hope you enjoyed these ideas today! I’ll be back soon with more card inspiration.

I neeeeeed that background stamp! I can’t find it anywhere on the website; is it still available?
Isn’t it awesome?! Unfortunately, the background stamp is from an older Kit from Hedgehog Hollow and it looks like it’s no longer available. So sorry! The sentiment stamp, however, is from the April 2020 kit and IS still available as of right now. 🙂
That background stamp is available in one of our Best of Boxes – the Masculine Favorites set – $39.99 plus shipping. Email productions@thehedgehoghollow.com if you would like to purchase it. Ali will respond.
