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.

• Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card

  Tracey created this striking card with the Made with Love designer paper:

  I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect!
  This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!

  She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.

  Your card inspired me to look at and use my DSP scraps Tracey! Thank you.

• Triple Z-fold with Friendly Foliage with video & free project sheet

  January 26, 2026

  We made this cool card at my Card Clubs in November. I adore the Friendly Foliage bundle!

  This fun fold looks difficult but it’s quite deceiving. It’s really so simple to make; I hope you try one! I’m a bit obsessed with this fold!

  The Friendly Foliage bundle is a big favorite of many since it came out in our Online store a few months ago.

  The designer paper seen below is from the Need for Tweed package which is on the Last Chance List right now and discounted. See it here.

  I also used the Branching Out dies for the outer frame. My colors include Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon & Basic Beige. This soft & soothing color combo really works!

  Here is the free project sheet. Click here to download or print it.

  And here is the video tutorial for you.

• Finally! We’re getting a new Stampin’ Positioner!

  January 23, 2026

  ---

  Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

  Save

  As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

  Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

  The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

  This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!

  It sounds like the general population will have to wait to get theirs…. but they promise it will be available sometime later this year to everyone.
