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.

• Fun Treat box made from our Acetate Card Boxes

  September 21, 2021

  ---

  Did you know we carry the perfect size clear box for gifting a set of A2 cards?  You can see them here or on page 137 of the annual catalog. They fit about 4 cards inside depending on how many layers there are. 

  Save

  Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!  

  Save

  It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set. 

  There's a template for the card stock below.  She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to.  If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

  She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments.  It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar! 

  Save

  She uses a mini velcro dot for closure.  The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.  

  Save

  And here's the template for the card stock insert.

• Be Dazzling specialty paper is sold out! Fabulous Summer Shadow dies projects with video!

  September 17, 2021

  ---

  I cannot believe the many ways you can use these Summer Shadow dies seen here!  I shared two bright, fun cards yesterday here and have more yet today. 

  Save

  I sure love the leaves in Coastal Cabana & Pool Party!  The flowers are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride.  

  Save

  The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set in the Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer seen here. I love the greetings & font in this set! That heat embossed greeting/die-cut is from the Messages die. 

  Save

  Next up I created some colorful cards using the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty designer paper.  As of today this paper is SOLD OUT unfortunately.  They did predict they'd run out of this paper before Sale-a-Bration is over. 

  Just so you know, these Summer Shadow dies (and the Sheep dies) are also expected to run out! 

  Save

  I used Blends markers to color my flowers.  You can see this in the video below.  The card base is Granny Apple Green and the vertical strips are Poppy Parade on the left & Magenta Madness on the right. 

  Save

   Which is your favorite? 

  Save

  I'm so sorry that this gorgeous paper is unavailable now.  I hope most of you ordered it while you could!

  Below is the video where I share lots of cards featuring the Summer Shadow dies and the Shaded Summer stamp set. Click on the photo to watch.
