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.

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.

Beauty of the Earth in Fall colors

September 1, 2021
Jacki made this gorgeous fall card for our Team Swap in August. She featured the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper, Banner Year stamp set & the stunning Be Dazzling specialty paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Save

She created a window for the cute pumpkin using Layering Circle dies. It's popped up on Dimensionals for added effect.

I love how she added two thin banners of the Be Dazzling paper under her greeting. This paper is absolutely amazing. There is no glitter released and it has so much glitz & shine a little goes a long way!

*Tip: this Be Dazzling paper is expected to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over. So get it now here while you can! It's FREE with any $50 order.

Look at these fabulous swap cards!

August 31, 2021

We're continuing the Sale-a-Bration card swap theme. My Flowerbug gals are so talented!

This first card is made by Karen and she used a fun 'Floating' technique with the Penguin Playmates designer paper. You cut strips of paper and adhere them to a window sheet. Then you pop the whole thing up. The strips look like their floating!

This designer paper is one of our Sale-a-Bration choices; it's free with any $50 order through September 30th. See it here.

Save

And here's another cute card made by Candace with the Penguin Playmates DSP and the Penguin Place stamp set. It's a corner latch fold! These cute penguins are easy to make with this punch bundle. See it here.

Save

Did you notice that even though these cards feature penguins they are not holiday cards? Love the versatility of both the Sale-a-Bration designer paper and this stamp & punch bundle!

Next is Lori's card featuring the Textures & Frames stamp set & Hand-Penned designer paper. What a fun background she stamped on the upper panel! She used the colors in the DSP – Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent & Highland Heather.

3 great ideas with the Peaceful Prints Designer Paper

August 30, 2021
Have you seen the Peaceful Prints designer paper? It's in our Sale-a-Bration catalog and is free with any $50 order through September. Click here to see it.

This photo does not do it justice! The colors are rich & vibrant – Black, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green & Sahara Sand.

Save

Our August Team swap featured all Sale-a-Bration products. I sure love sharing what my Flowerbug's made! These three cards all feature this fabulous designer paper.

Candy made this first card with the Peaceful Deer bundle. It coordinates with this free designer paper too!

Save

She did stamp the image in the set using Red ink and punched it out. Then she added the Soft Suede antlers and a Red rhinestone.

Lots of details on this card:
- Stitched Whimsy dies
- Stitched Rectangle dies
- Merry Melody 3D embossing folder
- Colors are Real Red, Crumb Cake & Garden Green with White
Marilyn made this next card with one of my latest fun folds shared on FB Live. It's called a Faux Pocket card. You can see the video for this fold here.

Save

She used the Layering Circle dies and the Stitched Rectangle dies for her main pieces. The deer on the circle is cut from the actual designer paper. The greeting is from the Time of Giving stamp set and is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Black CS.

This card fold might look complicated but it sure isn't! Again, click here to see the video.

Next is Annette's card featuring Garden Green, Black & White

Save

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set. It's on an Everyday Label punch. She punched a second piece in Black and cut it in half vertically to layer on the White one. Simple & beautiful!
