Trusty Tools Latch fold card with free project sheet & video

January 9, 2024

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.

You can download the free project sheet for the Trusty Toolbox card here. Download Trusty Tools Latch-fold card

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.

Gathering Moments swap; I love creating my own paper!

September 4, 2025

Here’s a pretty card I made for one of the online swaps I joined last month:

Save

I used the new Gathering Moments stamp set with the new Traditional Labels dies.

The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger and Very Vanilla. Inks are Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.

After stamping I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink around the edges and on the greeting die-cut too.

I love creating cards for swaps! I find it very relaxing to make multiples of my creations.

Save

You can see this stamp set here. It has a set of dies as well. See the Traditional Labels dies here.

Save

I’ll be sharing many more cards with this pretty new bundle next week.

She was inspired by the card we made at Club in August.
