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. 

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.

• Country Wreath’s Vertical Slider fun fold card; with video tutorial

  December 7, 2022

  ---

  A few weeks ago I shared multiple projects with the Cottage Wreaths bundle on my weekly FB Live.  This Vertical Slider card was one of them.  It's so cool and surprisingly easy.  

  Save

  It's a simple gatefold but the center element holds the card closed so it stays flat.  It's so neat!  I made a second version as well and shared that one here. 

  Save

  I used the Santa Express designer paper here as well as the Joyful Flurry bundle and Brightest Glow stamp set. 

  How it works is to have three squares or circles on the back of the center element.  Fold two in half and adhere to the back of your center layer.  Then top it with the third one.  The two must be positioned so the grab the two front panels of the card and can 'slide' down the center seam.  *watch the video below or here to see how it works.

• CUTE Card kit to go with the Storybook Gnomes DSP!! Limited quantities….

  December 5, 2022

  ---

  I was going to feature the Snowflake Vellum for one of my December card kits to go but it's already sold out.  So I switched to the Storybook Gnomes DSP and I love how they turned out!!

  Save

  Even if you aren't a 'gnome' person you'll love these cards.  They're filled with snowflakes, Iridescent ribbon and sparkly gems; two of the five are fun folds and one is interactive!  The Designer paper has many choices; some with pretty 'wintery' backgrounds plus scenes with gnomes. 

  Because the snowflakes & Fine Sparkle gems are discounted I am able to give even more product in this kit!  I aim for $20 in products in my kits PLUS the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28 plus shipping.  

  I have a limited supply of these available so opt in soon!  I will ship these out before Christmas.  

  This kit includes: 

  • the 10 pre-cut cards, die-cut & punched pieces
  • 1/2 pkg. (6" X 12") Storybook Gnomes designer paper
  • a share of Iridescent ribbon, Fine sparkle gems & Wonderful Snowflakes
  • the PDF tutorial which is emailed to you right away

  It does not include stamped greetings or ink.  I used the Kindest Gnomes & Joyful Flurry stamps but you can easily substitute them). 

  You'll also need inks (Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, White Craft & Soft Suede), a paper trimmer and the PDF tutorial.

  Click here to get the pre-cut cards kit with products for $28 plus shipping.  *Add on a second kit & save $$.

  Click here to get the PDF tutorial only.  $15
