Trusty Tools Latch fold card with free project sheet & video

On last week's Live video I created two fun fold cards featuring the Trusty Tools bundle and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper. 

The Trusty Tools bundle is in the new Spring catalog and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper is in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. They're an incredible pair that is unique and perfect for handy guys or gals and coordinate together wonderfully! 

This card is a latch card.  Both flaps open but the Poppy Parade flap is 'caught' by the layered greeting element.

It's hard to explain how it works but the video I made shows how easy it is.  It's all about where to place the Dimensionals to 'catch or latch' the card closed.  I like my cards to stay mostly closed so I created this closure option. 

Here's what the inside looks like:

My colors were chosen by the Trusty Toolbox designer paper – Black, Poppy Parade & 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 suggest ordering the Trusty Toolbox bundle and then choose the designer paper as your free Sale-a-Bration choice.  See the bundle here online.

A word of advice on choosing Sale-a-Bration items. If you want both a pack of designer paper and a stamp set and cannot afford to get both, choose the designer paper first. They usually run out of papers, dies & gems before they run out of stamp sets. Then choose the stamp set with your next purchase.

Below is a photo of both cards using this special latch fold.  The card on the lower left is made with the Lighter Than Air designer paper in Lemon Lolly & Balmy Blue.  It's one of the cards featured in my Lighter Than Air pre-cut kit to go seen here.

  • Modern Christmas Triple-Z card with video & free project sheet

    First; I’ll let you know I still have several Mystery Boxes left. Don’t miss the opportunity to get over $200 in free products! See the details here.

    I shared this super neat card on last week’s video. I love this fold! It looks like work but it’s so easy!

    Isn’t it fabulous?! I found several others online and had to try it. I chose to feature the Modern Christmas suite seen here.

    The scored lines to create this fold are simply 1″ & 3″ for both the card base and the 3 strips. Watch the video below to see how it’s put together.

    The main image of trees is stamped on the die-cut from Branching Out. See these dies here; they coordinate with the stamp set but stand alone too. The greeting is from the Traditional Labels bundle seen here. I cut a second die-cut in Gold and split it apart across the middle so it shows.

    Here’s how I stamped the back side:

    The trees & greetings are from the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the playful style of the stamp set.

    The card bekiw is the card I made during the video. I changed it up a bit.

    The beautiful gold & black paper (and the above trees DSP) is from the Modern Christmas DSP seen here. It’s so elegant and fits with the star die-cut from the Modern Christmas bundle quite well. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

    Save

    I created a free project sheet for these cards. Click here to print or download it. I do recommend you create a file for project sheets or card ideas. It’s so handy to access it quickly.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another as well. Both feature this beautiful Modern Christmas suite. I’ll share the other card tomorrow.

  • Two more of my favorite kits. There are still Mystery Boxes left!

    My mystery boxes are selling well; be sure to grab yours while there are some left. *see below

    I wanted to share two more of my favorite kits from our Kit Collection seen here.

    First is a thank you kit called ‘Thank You Kindly’. It’s an elegant set of cards that are both special & easy to make.

    Save

    They’re mostly white with gold foil accents & that stunning black pre-printed greeting. This is a non-stamping kit. It’s currently in low inventory so it will likely sell out soon. It’s just $14 and can be seen here.

    Save

    Next is the gorgeous Harvest Home Garland that can also be made into a wreath. It would be great for your Thanksgiving table or used as a wreath.

    Save

    It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make mine. I even added some sponging/blending to the paper leaves (which wasn’t in the directions. It have everything you need except hot glue – recommended to attach the leaves to the rope. It’s so pretty and I love the non-traditional colors that still have an autumn look. See it in the store here.
