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.

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.

Translucent Florals card made with colored vellum

December 27, 2023
I created this pretty card with the Translucent Florals bundle. I used our vellum card stock and changed it from opaque to Fresh Freesia.

Save

It's really easy to do. Here's how:
1. I cut a good size piece of vellum from the main sheet and laid it onto my grid paper.
2. Then I pressed my open ink pad onto the card stock until it was covered.
3. To smooth the ink out use sponges or a blending brush. Let dry or heat set before die-cutting.
4. Die-cut the flowers, leaves and white centers
Products & measurements:
- Translucent Floral bundle
- White card stock – card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score & fold at 4 1/4"
- Painted Texture embossing folder – white is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- Fresh Freesia card stock 3 7/8" X 4 7/8"
- Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 1" strip
- Vellum card stock – a large piece colored with Fresh Freesia ink and a small piece with Granny Apple Green ink
