Trusty Tools Latch fold card with free project sheet & video

January 9, 2024

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.

Apple Harvest Fun Fold card

September 28, 2022
We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September. I love the bright colors paired with Black!

Save

The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black. As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms. And inside the card is a single apple.

The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog. The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion. See them here.

All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet. I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

Save

This card fold is super simple. Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.

Measurements:
- Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
- Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"

A new fun fold card with This Birthday Piggy; join me Live tonight!

September 26, 2022

We're making this cool fun fold card tonight on my Stamp with Me live here on Facebook. It's called a 'pillar' fold card. Join in and watch or prep your pieces and stamp along with me Live.

Save

I'm featuring the This Birthday Piggy bundle seen here. You can get them separately also, but you won't save the 10% then.

The stamp set is in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog seen here. These coordinating dies are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion. See them here.

Save

The side pillars fold in toward the middle so it fits in a standard A2 size envelope.

Save

My colors include Polished Pink, Parakeet Party, White & Black. The designer paper on the sides is our Black & White designs seen here.

I used our Blends markers to color the images – Polished Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Basic Gray & Parakeet Party.

See those neat confetti pieces? Those are actually 'windows' die-cut in the White CS so the Pink CS shows through. They're part of the Playful Piggy dies. Same with the grass, banner and pennants. The stars are punched with the Witch Hat punch.

Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT.
