Today I’m sharing a couple photos, measurements and a supply list for this fun Staggered Strip Z-Fold Card that I created with the Trusty Tools stamp set and coordinating dies. Because of the sentiment imagery in the stamp set, I made this into a Father’s Day card, but you could totally change out the words and gift this fun card to any handy tool-loving person in your life.

Ta-da! A Staggered Strip Z-Fold Card featuring the Trusty Tools Stamp Set & Dies! Change out the sentiments and send to any tool lover for any occasion. Measurements and links to the products I used can be found by visiting my 4/28/25 blog post. Stampin’ Up!® - Stamp Your Art Out! www.stampyourartout.com
