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

January 8, 2024

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.

Thoughtful Blooms; punch art vase & flowers!

March 19, 2020
I made this cute, springy card on Facebook Live yesterday. It features the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom punch. Both are free right now with an order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

That cute vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch. Punch from patterned paper and cut it in half!

You can see all of our free products here on the Sale-a-Bration page. The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set is full of cute floral images and sweet greetings.

Save

It coordinates with the Small Bloom punch seen here. *This punch may return in the annual catalog this summer but you can get it free now!

I used a bit of the Brights 6 X 6" designer series paper. That's where the cute gingham designs come from. Did you know we have gingham paper in every single color right now? Each of our 6 color families have an assorted package with every color in the pack! So cool! The photo only shows one color but includes them all. See them all here.

- White stitched rectangle is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies
- Daffodil layer is 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
- main card is White thick card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch

Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!

March 18, 2020
I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

Save

I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it. Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering. It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you. Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall. The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes. I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color. The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.

For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper. I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle. Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.

Other Details
- The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog.
- The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
- Granny Apple Green
Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies. If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice! See it here.

This month's card kit to go includes 10 pre-cut cards, $20 in product (so you can make more!) and a free written pdf tutorial.

It's a fun fold card that really shows off the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies designer paper.

Here's a link to get the details on this kit. It includes $20 in products (Designer paper, sequins and twine) and 10 pre-cut cards along with the pdf tutorial. All of the many die-cuts are even done for you.

Email me at lagreff60@gmail.com by Thursday, March 19th. That's the cut off date.

The stamps are from the Peaceful Poppies set seen here. Add it on plus another $9 in product and you'll get a free Sale-a-Bration choice when I combine it with the product included in your kit. Don't miss out! My gals love their kits each month!
