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.

  • Fantastic fun fold cards made with the Round We Go bundle!


    Today I'm sharing the second half of our Team's Artist of the Month projects. Paula did an amazing job showcasing the Round We Go bundle seen here.  

    Most of her cards featured today are fun folds. This first card is among my favorites because of the colors; I love the freshness of the blues and yellows together. 

    She used Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly & Daffodil Delight as well as the Country Lace designer paper seen here.  I love how she die-cut the extra detailed circle around the greeting. 

    This card is a gift card too; here's the inside view: 

     

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    • White card fold 4" X 8" scored at 4"
    • DSP 3 3/4" square and two 1" X 4" strips

    Next is a deceiving card front that opens up to something quite unique. 

    I love how she made the rosette look like a round bow on a gift. Her colors include Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Petunia Pop. Here's the inside view of this card:

    The pop up flap is an extra piece added under the lower White piece. It's 5" square; scored at 3/4", 1 1/2" and 2 5/8". then cut at an angle to the last score line. Each White layer is 5" X 4". 

    See this unique bundle here.  It's discounted through Sunday. 

    This last card is also somewhat deceptive.  It makes the most of the pretty Full of Life designer paper on the front as well as a stamped rosette with Pretty in Pink ribbon. 

    It opens up to reveal a simple opening.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 9 1/4" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"
    • DSP 3 1/2" X 4" and 1 1/2" X 4"
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4" 

    Aren't her projects wonderful?  She really showcased this neat bundle beautifully.

  • Fabulous projects with the Round We Go Bundle and it’s on sale through Sunday!


    Today I'm sharing the first set of projects by our Artist of the Month for June.  Paula chose the Round We Go bundle to create with and she did an incredible job!

    This bundle is on sale through June – an extra 20% off.  It was $45 and is now just $40 for all of the above. See it here.

    This first card features multiple dies and a stamped background too.  The designer papers used for the rosettes include  Full of Life and the In Color 6" X 6" prints.

    Her colors include Boho Blue & Peach Pie with White. 

    Next is a fun patriotic card she made for her nephew who is in the military. It sure reminds me of decorative bunting! 

    Her colors are Red, White & Navy with Crumb Cake.  She stamped the circles with one of the stamps in the set.  Love her creativity! 

    Next up is a fun card with two 'lollipops' made with the dies in the bundle.  

    Her colors include Shy Shamrock, Vanilla and Crumb Cake.  She layered at least 3-4 of the Crumb Cake 'feel better soon' dies together for a fantastic raised look. 

    Next is this amazing box. I haven't seen anyone do a half rosette to decorate a box top before!  It's genius! 

    Her colors are Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist. I don't have measurements for the box but it's about 2 3/4" square and over 2" tall.  

    Here's another box she made where she stamped the entire box with many of the image in the set.  

    Her box is made from Lemon Lolly card stock and she added a layered stamped greeting made from one of the dies in the set.  It's almost like a long milk carton box that closes at the top with twine.  Neat! 

    Aren't her projects amazing?  She really showcased this neat bundle.  Stop back tomorrow for the rest of her projects!
