Trusty Toolbox Bridge fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


If you love fun folds you'll appreciate my weekly videos. I like to share fancy fold cards or techniques in my Tuesday Live videos – seen each week at 11 am CT. If you enjoy watching Live please subscribe to my Facebook page here.  Or watch them later on my YouTube channel here.  

Don't you love this special card?!  Men's cards can be hard to make; many of use gals lean towards florals don't we? I appreciate when Stampin' Up! brings us products we can make for our men. 

My colors include Black, Poppy Parade, Pebbled Path, Gray Granite & White. This special designer paper can be earned free now during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase through Stampin' Up!.  See it here. I think Stampin' Up! was so clever to create designer paper that mimics tools, toolbox and peg board!

I suggest ordering the Trusty Toolbox bundle and then choose the designer paper as your free Sale-a-Bration choice.  See the bundle here online.  

Below you can see both projects I shared during the video. I'm loving this amazing bundle & designer paper combo! 

I shared this sweet Hot Air Balloon bridge card in the video too.  The measurements are the same for both cards.

  • Cutest Cows card with video tutorial & FREE project sheet!


    There are just 4 days left of Sale-a-Bration!  The free goodies end Thursday!

    ~~~

    I shared this cute card on last week's video. We made it at my February Card Clubs. 


    Isn't it adorable?  My colors include Black, White, Pool Party & Old Olive.  The Cutest Cows bundle can be seen here.  

    Instead of using the image that fits the Cow Builder punch for the front we punched the head and body from White card stock and colored in Black spots. We did use the nose/mouth and eyes/eyebrows images though.  

    You can download & print the free project sheet by clicking here: Download Feb 24 Cutest Cows Club

    The grass is from the Garden Meadow dies seen here.  The cloud DSP is from the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper and the striped paper is the Rock & Roll DSP in the Spring catalog.  

    Check out the inside: 

    I love the greetings in this bundle that work so perfectly with the cow.  'Milk it for all it's worth!' 

    Click here or on the photo below to watch the video. I share this plus two more cards using this adorable punch bundle. And they're not just cows!

  • Quiet Reflection and Delightful Floral Fancy Fold card swaps with measurements!


    Today I'm sharing the last of our Team fun fold swaps. I'm adding measurements for each of them.  If you've missed the previous posts please click on the title of this post and scroll to see each one.  

    The first card was made by Candy. She made a simple fold back card that is so easy but so pretty!

    She is featuring the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  Her samples and the next one sold me on this set. I love that it's a monochromatic card – it's totally fitting for this set. 

    Product used: Deckled Rectangles, Softly Sophisticated stamps & embossing folder (SAB), Gold & Vanilla 3/8" satin edges ribbon

    Measurements:

    • Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" textured layer, inside is 4" X 5 1/4", die-cut is 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"
    • Misty Moonlight die-cut is 2 1/2" X 3 7/8"

    ~~~

    Karen made this next card using the same Quiet Reflection stamp set. Her beautiful card is also monochromatic; using Pebbled Path with Vanilla. 

    The front layer opens to reveal a second inside layer that opens.  Quite unique and actually easy to make too.  

    Measurements:

    • Pebbled Path card base 6 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", front layer 2 3/4" X 3 3/4", inside is 2 7/8" X 3 3/4"
    • Vanilla front is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", inside is 7 3/4" X 4 3/4" score at 3 7/8", greeting strip is 3 1/2" X 1/2" 
    • DSP 2" X 5 1/2" 

    ~~~

    Paula made this beautiful card with a few of our Online Exclusive products.  We have sooo many now & more coming in March! Check them all out here; I know you'll see a few new things!

    The designer paper is the Delightful Floral seen here.  She used the pretty Translucent Floral bundle for her greetings and die-cuts.  See it here. 

    Measurements:

    • Parakeet Party card base 11" X 5 1/4" score at 4" & 5 3/4" for the right two score lines. From the left score down at 1 3/4" to the 1 1/4" mark from the top and up from the bottom. Move over to the 3 1/2" mark (from the left) and do this again. Now you'll cut across from the first score line to the 5 1/4" score line and cut across.  
    • Mossy Meadow 2 1/2" square, 1 1/2" X 2 1/2", plus the back card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • White inside is 3 3/4" X 5", 2 1/4" square and 1 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • Vellum, DSP & black pieces for flowers & leaves *she colored her vellum
    • DSP – 2 pieces 1 1/2" X 5 1/4", 4 pieces 1 1/2" X 1" 

    It's quite the special card isn't it?  It's called a side shutter card and was cased from Wendy Cranford. This paper and bundle are definitely my style. 

    I hope you've enjoyed our many samples of fancy fold cards this past week.  My Flowerbug's are the best!

  • Still more incredible Fun Fold Team swap cards!


    We had sooo many fabulous fancy fold cards at our February Team swap!  I've been sharing a few each day this past week. Please look back to see them all; I'm sharing measurements for each one!

    Jacki made this stunning Pinwheel Tower card featuring the Nature's Sweetness Suite: 

    Her colors include White, Pebbled Path and bit of Gold foil & Vellum. She also added gold pearls and Gold Elegant Trim. The texture is made with the Exposed Brick embossing folder.  The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments bundle.

    See the Nature's Sweetness suite here; it's huge & filled with beautiful stamps, textures & die-cuts. 

    The picture doesn't do it justice; it's simply stunning! If you haven't made one and want to know how check out this video I shared a while back. 

    Measurements:

    • Center box is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"; scored at 1/4", 1", 1 3/4", 2 1/2" 
    • 4 pieces at 2" tall X 4 1/4" 
    • Designer paper layers are 1 1/8" & 1 7/8" – 2 each of 2 patterns

    Next is another incredible card made by Jonna who chose the Gone Fishing bundle seen here.  

    She paired it with the Let's Go Fishing designer paper & Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder. This is an entire suite in the Annual catalog and could retired in April. See it all here. 

    When you open up her card it's a gift card.  What a great men's card idea!  

    Measurements:

    • Navy card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", folded layer is 4 1/2" X 9 3/4" scored at 3 1/4" & 6 1/2"
    • Designer paper – striped on front is cut with the Deckled Rectangles – finished size is 5 1/8" X 3 3/4", inside gift card is 4 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • White front – Deckled Rectangle die-cut is 3 7/8" X 2 5/8" finished, center white is 4 1/4" X 3"

    Oh; this one is so beautiful!  Tracey made this one with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper. 

    This fold is my absolute favorite way to show off our scenic papers!  the card base has one extra score line and you cut your paper into pieces from left to right so when the card opens it's a full scene! 

    I LOVE her heat embossed greeting; it's fussy cut into multiple pieces and added with mini dimensionals; what a fabulous effect!  The texture on the front left panel is the Exposed Brick 3D emboss folder seen here. 

    Measurements: 

    • Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", second textured layer is 1" X 5 1/4"
    • Designer paper is 6" X 5 1/4" tall. Cut from left to right at 2 3/4" & 4"

    This pretty paper was available online but is sadly gone now.  *Our Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.

    I shared how to make this card on a video a few months back. See it here. 

    *Stop back in for more fancy fold swaps tomorrow!
