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.

  Isn't that neat?  The side flaps sneak under the front panel. 

  She chose the use the Lily Pond Lane designer paper for her card.  It's actually on sale right now – but the sale on our Designer Papers end tomorrow!  See all of the papers on sale here. 

  She added a white layer in the back for signing. It needed to be able to fold for the card to work so there's a crease in the center.

  She used the Charming Duck Pond stamp set for her images & greetings. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base – 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" score at 2 1/4", 4" and 6 1/4" – the widest flap is on the left and right sice when the 2 pieces are sitting next to each other. 
  • 4 1/4" X 4 1/4" front. Glue onto the middle of the folded pieces to hold them together. 
  • White – 4" square for back of card
  • DSP 4 X 4" front, 2 at 1 1/2" X 4" inner panels & 2 at 2" X 4" outer panels 

  Thank you for the measurements Lori!  Here's an view of this neat card from above.

• The pretty Citrus Blooms dies

  August 28, 2024

  ---

  While I was creating for my Live video projects I wanted to show off the pretty Citrus Blooms dies. 

  Save

  The colors include Night of Navy, White & Old Olive.  I added a small strip of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP under the Greeting of the Season white die-cut label.  See these dies here; you will love them! 

  You can see the two Citrus Bloom dies I used to create this White & Olive frame in the photo below.  I like that stitched die a lot; it can be used alone or with this leafy die. See the Citrus Bloom dies here. 

  Save

  Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for the Mediterranean Blooms DSP.
