Masculine Monday

I saw these great little wrenches on Pinterest, by Jessica Lewis, and just had to have a go at them.  There are actually two versions, but I like the first one you see here best.  It was my second attempt.  In my first attempt, the wrenches were too small and I didn't have enough of a border with the basic black.

Let me know what you think, which do you prefer?

These were very easy to make and it's one of those things that makes me think "why didn't I think of that!?"  Good grief, I used to be married to a mechanic, something so cute never crossed my mind.  That is certainly the great thing about sharing with so many other talented women (and men) who create with Stampin' Up!

Yeah, this one doesn't do a thing for me, ugh!  What was I thinking?  LOL

Here are the measurements for making the wrench - the larger one in the first card above.  Start with a 3 1/2" x 1/2" strip of Basic Gray.  First punch the itty bitty scallop and the punch over that scallop with the 3/4" Circle Punch.  Punch the 1" Circle and the attaching it to a post-it note slip it into the Word Window Punch to make the open end of the wrench.

Notice the little snippet taken from the end of the 3 1/2" strip?  I punched it with the 3/4" circle, just to keep the end of the strip from showing under the small scalloped end.
