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.

  • From the North Pole bonus card; so cute! Refills are available!


    I had time to play with the latest Paper Pumpkin kit this weekend – From the North Pole.  From the hint they gave us beforehand I knew the tags would be cute! 

    If you don't like or need tags, they can easily be changed into Christmas cards.  This kit is available in a refill for just $11 while supplies last. The refill kit does not include the stamp set or ink spot and is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  Here's a link to it.  

    Each month I send my subscribers AND my Team alternate projects using elements in the latest Paper Pumpkin kit.  I share lots of ideas for bonus cards or scrapbook ideas.  

    Here's one of my projects using the 'From the North Pole' kit:  

    I always enjoy stamping my own background; the candy cane & dot are stamps from the kit.  I used Sweet Sorbet and White Craft ink. I added the card base and the two card stock strips – the Mint layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder.  Everything else is from the kit. 

    Another bonus product available to current PP subscribers are these awesome Good Things cards and envelopes seen here:

    It includes 20 cards, 5 each of 4 designs &20 matching envelopes – all for just $10!  You must be a current subscriber to get these.  There are perks to subscribing!  These coordinate with the upcoming Good Things come in Small Packages kit – it's filled with gift card boxes.  Cut off date to receive this kit is December 10th. 


    Click here to get a pre-paid subscription or click here to subscribe and get one monthly. 

    Paper Pumpkin facts: did you know? 

    • You are in full control of which kits you receive as a subscriber.  They announce what the upcoming kit consists of – the theme and if it's cards or not.  You can log into your account and skip a month any time before the 10th of the month.  
    • Even with a pre-paid subscription you can skip or pause your kits. 
    • You can give a gift of a subscription too!  What a wonderful Christmas gift for someone crafty.  
    • These kits are all inclusive (except the refills).  They include stamps, ink, adhesives (usually glue dots & dimensionals) and other pre-cut elements. 
    • To activate a pre-paid subscription and begin receiving the monthly kit, the subscription code must first be redeemed at paperpumpkin.com.  You'll receive this in an email after purchase.
