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.

  • Framed Florets card in blues; an easy layout idea

    And the blog issues continue….. If you're looking at this from a phone or tablet you may not see any photos.  But as of yesterday they did show up on a computer.  I hope Typepad figures this out soon!  

    This is one of the cards I demonstrated on last week's FB Live video. Each one features the new Fitting Florets collection of products.

    The card was inspired by the colors in the pretty floral designer paper. I chose Night of Navy, Balmy Blue & Soft Succulent with White.  The oval is from the Framed Florets dies; the flower & leaves are from the Framed Florets bundle. I colored them in with Blends markers.  

    The greeting images are so pretty; I love the mixed font.

    In the video below, I shared three cards featuring the Framed Florets bundle and the Fitting Florets DSP seen here.  This DSP is a limited time products; available through early January or while supplies last.  It's featured in this month's kit to go seen here.

    Here's one of my alternative idea for the Ho Ho Ho kit.  I used one of the die-cut pieces in the kit to sponge snowflakes onto the card base.  Almost all of the rest of it is from the kit!  It's so fun to play with the elements and come up with something new.
