Poetic Expression fun fold swap card


Last week I shared this image on Facebook.  It was a bit of a tease to guess what the finished card would be like. 

It has Pool Party, White, Lost Lagoon and some Poetic Expressions designer paper (retiring in April). 

It also shows the greeting die-cut from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder seen here.  I feel like it makes my greetings extra special.  They're a pretty font and give texture and dimension to your projects. (I shared how to use this folder here in a video.)

And that is the finished card.  I made 12 of these for an organized fun fold swap. I am a huge fan of monochromatic cards and these colors are at the top of my favorites list.  

The tag is from the Something Fancy dies seen here.  I love the many label & greeting shapes this set has. 

Here's the inside view. 

Measurements are so simple!  Once you cut off the end of the card front you flip it 90 degrees and use it as the front layer. 

  • Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4"
  • DSP – 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3" 
  • Inside White 5 1/4" X 4" 

Here's the inside view.  This greeting is from the Simply Zinnia set seen here.

  • Trusty Tools ‘Toolbox’ Treat box with video & free project sheet!


    Happy Valentine's Day! 

    I had to try my hand at making a treat box using the Trusty Toolbox designer paper. So I came up with this & shared it on last week's video here.

    Isn't it adorable?  It holds quite a few candy treats plus there's room for a gift card too. I plan to give this to my husband today.

    I decided to change it up a bit and added a pegboard (made with the Trusty Tools' dies seen here) to the back of my second box.

    The tools in the box are cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper seen here. You can use the Trusty Tools dies for some of them as they coordinate wonderfully.  But honestly I fussy cut most of them. 

    Details:

    • The box is 3 1/2" wide and the 1 1/2" deep & high. The pegboard is 4 1/2" tall. 
    • The 'Celebrate' greeting is from the Thoughtful Moments dies & emboss folder seen here.  My new favorite! I added ink after I cut the word out using my brayer very, very gently. *watch the video to see how
    • There are two handles glued back to back in the center. 
    • The tools are adhered to the front, center layer and the back to give depth & interest to the box. 
    • The tool designer paper on the front & sides are also from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    Aren't they just adorable?!  What a great little treat to give to the guys?  And why not the gals too?

    I shared a double box card and a second card all using the same colors & products in the video below. I hope you're inspired by it! 

    Below is the video where I demo how to make it.  Click here or on the photo below to watch this and two more projects featuring this bundle and designer paper.

  • A special Trusty Tools Double-box fun fold card – free project sheet & video tutorial


    We made this fabulous men's fun-fold card at my January Card Clubs; I also shared it on last week's Live video too.  

     

    It features Gray Granite, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade & White plus a bit of our Holographic specialty paper for the wrench die-cut.  

    This double box fun fold card can be positioned two ways – horizontal like this or vertical where the left box is the bottom. 

    A few details:

    • All 3 die-cuts on the front are from the Trusty Tools bundle & die set.
    • The neat textured Gray Granite layer is Metal Place 3D embossing folder. 
    • The tool designer paper is the Trusty Toolbox 12" DSP seen here.  It's free during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase.  I'm actually surprised they haven't run out of it yet!!

    If you order the Trusty Tools bundle you can earn the coordinating Trusty Toolbox designer paper FREE! It's $54.75 for the bundle.

    For greetings I also used the Throughout the Year stamp set for additional options. See it here.  

    I've used this stamp set so often!  It seems to have just what I need and I LOVE the fonts!
