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.

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.

  • Neat Floral Delight fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    Can you tell that these cards are an extra special fun fold?  It's a bit sneaky how it works!

    I used the Floral Delight designer paper here along with the Floral & Gingham Vellum too.  The center piece is the vellum – the blue gingham and the yellow flowers on the right card. I used our Multipurpose Liquid glue to adhere it and it didn't show a bit! Use a very light hand for success here. 

    Here's how the card opens.  There's an extra score line on the front of the card that allows the center to fold back.  It's really simple but you may need to watch the video here to catch on.  

    Here's a look at how the card base is made without the front panel added. The upper & lower corners are simply cut off at 1". So simple with a surprising effect! 

    For the greetings I used the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.  I love the stitched dies and the greetings in this bundle. I've used it so often. 

    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Floral Delight Fun Fold Feb 25

    Below is the video tutorial for this card. I hope you watch it to learn the simple trick to this neat fun fold.
