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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

String Art Technique; fun, easy & the results are a big WOW!

April 5, 2023

I shared the String Art technique on last week's Live video. It's been years since I tried it and it brought back how much fun it is!

Save

That cool swirly, colorful image is made with a length of twine, ink refills and a phone book. Yes; a phone book! Any book will do but I a phone book is okay to get inky.

And another neat thing about this technique is you get two finished panels from one technique!

Save

You might notice the card on the right has thicker lines. I believe that piece was on the bottom and had more moisture on it.

I used Bermuda Bay and Parakeet Party ink refills for this technique, along with about 14" of baker's twine. After the piece was created I let it dry and textured it with an embossing folder.

*Bermuda Bay card stock, ink pad and refill are already sold out. Products can go so fast on the Last Chance list!

Save

Other products used: 2022-24 In Color dots seen here (Just $4; reduced by 50%!), the Quatrefoil embossing folder, Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6" DSP, 2022-24 In Color Baker's Twine pack.

You really need to watch this technique in action. It's so much easier than to try to explain it.

Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this special technique. It's the third project in the video.

Share a Milkshake card with video & free projects sheet!

April 3, 2023

The Share a Milkshake bundle is SWEET and super fun to create with. We made this fun card at my March card clubs:

Save
You can see the Share a Milkshake bundle here; it's filled with cute 2-step images, quirky font greetings and fabulous dies. See that straw in the ice cream? It fits into a 'slit' in the die-cut ice cream piece.

*This bundle is carrying over into the new Annual catalog but it will not be a bundle at 10% off any longer; the stamp set & dies will be sold separately.

Save

That bottom large die above folds into a textured sugar cone; you can then insert your 'scoops' of ice cream in it like the project below shared by Stampin' Up!

Save

Here's what we stamped inside our card. The 2-step bowl of ice cream with a die-cut silver spoon is extra special.
Save

My colors include Coastal Cabana, Sweet Sorbet and Polished Pink with a bit of Early Espresso for the chocolate topping die-cuts. the striped DSP on the bottom is from the Country Floral Lane DSP in the Spring catalog.

Here's the free project sheet for this project; it includes measurements, directions and supplies. Download March 23 Share a Milkshake
