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.

• Snowflake Vellum fun fold card with video

  December 22, 2022

  ---

  We made this pretty card at my December Card Clubs.  I thought snowflakes would be perfect for many occasions coming up. 

  Save

  I used the Snowflake 12" specialty vellum that 'was' in our Holiday catalog.  They ran out of stock in early December.  And the Wonderful Snowflakes (large white snowflake) was discounted on the Last Chance list but they've run out now too!  This time of year is so difficult to plan for.  

  But they loved the card and thought the fold was fun too. 

  I shared how to make it on my FB Live yesterday.  Click here to watch. 

  Save

  Details: 

  • The back of the card is simply a quarter sheet of Starry Sky card stock – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".  
  • The fold is 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". 
  • The large piece of vellum and the white inside are 3" X 4".  The side pieces of vellum are about 1 1/2" X 4".
  • I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set (retiring) & dies for the inside of the left card.  The Frosted Flurry dies are now out of stock. The birthday greeting on the right is from the Celebrating You stamp set (annual catalog)
  • The Starry Sky stitched circle is 3" around; a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  They are also out of stock right now!  Sheesh!  I picked popular items for this card, didn't I?

  The Splendid Day suite is on the retiring list and most of these items are discounted on the Last Chance list; while supplies last.

  I thought I'd highlight a few of my past projects featuring them.  

  The bundle is retiring in about 2 weeks; it's while supplies last. The Splendid Stems dies seen here are currently marked down to $13.60 from $34.  The Open Leaf trinkets are marked down from $8 to $3.20.  See them here. I can't believe they're still available at these prices!

  This gorgeous Splendid Day specialty designer paper seen here is now just $6, marked down from $15.  The Soft Sea Foam seam binding ribbon is super thin and soft.  It's super easy to work with.  It's also on sale, while supplies last, for just $3.20.  See it here.

  The Splendid Thoughts stamp set has some beautiful greetings in it; I love the fonts!

• Cottage Wreaths gift treat bag with video; easy and uses your DSP too!

  December 20, 2022

  ---

  I shared this cute project on a FB Live video a few weeks ago.  It features the Country Wreaths bundle and the Santa Express designer paper.  Here's the link to the video. 

  Save

  The Cottage Wreaths bundle is carrying over into January. See it here. 

  Look at the wreaths above; they're each unique, showing how much variety there is in the stamp set & dies.  

  The left is mostly die-cuts with an additional bow & berries added.  The right has the stamped wreath over the die-cut green wreath.  The bow is die-cut from Red glimmer paper. So many options!  

  Save

  I started with a piece of DSP at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". Score at 1 1/4" with the short edge at the top.  Then with the long edge at the top score at 2", 4", 6" & 8" up to that first score line.  Tip: You're only scoring the bottom of this bag. 

  Crease on the score lines and glue together.  *watch the video to see how.

  Click on the photo below to watch the video.  There are two other projects before this one in the video; all featuring the Cottage Wreaths bundle.
