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.

  I was thrilled with the Birthday Card Organizer kit Stampin' Up! created and knew it would be super popular.  I was right; they are now out of stock.  It will be available again; but we don't know when. 

  I ordered a bunch of these kits and have jazzed it up for a kit to go this month.

  The basic Birthday Organizer kit includes the card organizer (it has 12 months & 14 pockets for cards), adhesives, adhesive-backed sequins & everything needed to make 12 cards & envelopes. 

  I'm adding 4 bonus cards & envelopes, a spool of Sahara Sand ribbon and all pre-cut pieces needed to complete the design element on the front of the card organizer.

  In the PDF tutorial you'll also see a few alternate designs for the 2 card designs included in the base kit. Of course it also includes instructions for the bonus cards and design element on the front. This PDF is sent to you immediately after payment via email.

• Country Wreath’s Vertical Slider fun fold card; with video tutorial

  December 7, 2022

  ---

  A few weeks ago I shared multiple projects with the Cottage Wreaths bundle on my weekly FB Live.  This Vertical Slider card was one of them.  It's so cool and surprisingly easy.  

  Save

  It's a simple gatefold but the center element holds the card closed so it stays flat.  It's so neat!  I made a second version as well and shared that one here. 

  Save

  I used the Santa Express designer paper here as well as the Joyful Flurry bundle and Brightest Glow stamp set. 

  How it works is to have three squares or circles on the back of the center element.  Fold two in half and adhere to the back of your center layer.  Then top it with the third one.  The two must be positioned so the grab the two front panels of the card and can 'slide' down the center seam.  *watch the video below or here to see how it works.
