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.

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.

Because we’re moving to Bismarck in July I will have just one card kit to go in June. I will be busy packing and moving so I’m cutting back on blog posts, videos and creating for a few weeks.

This kit to go features the Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin kit. Look how colorful and beautiful they are?! Of course I changed up the original kit to create these:

Last of the Team card swaps featuring new products

June 4, 2026

Today I’m sharing the last two swaps from May; our theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

This first card was made by Ginny. She cased a card made by Chelle Scott.

Save

She used the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. Who doesn’t love ferns!? Stampin’ Up! did an awesome job on these dies.
The colors here are Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Peaceful Pine.

Save

And look at that gorgeous embossing folder – called Fern & Flora 3D folder is stunning! See it here.

Next is a pretty card made by Paula who featured the Valley in Bloom Designer Paper.

Save

It’s a book binding card fold. Start with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base; score at 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″. Adhere the ‘binding’ area down.
Her colors include Blackberry Bliss with Granny Apple Green. She added some of the new 2026-28 In Color butterflies too.

This designer paper is simply stunning; it’s so soft and yet detailed at the same time. See it here.

Here’s what she did on the inside. The dies are so pretty!

Here’s the Lily of the Valley bundle that includes these beautiful dies.
