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.

A SMART way to use your 6 X 6″ paper with this neat fun fold card; video too!

August 31, 2022

On yesterday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards. See that video here on my YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe too!

This card is probably my favorite fold. It makes the BEST use of your 6 X 6" designer paper!

Save

I chose to feature the Butterfly Kisses 6" DSP in the 2022 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! It's filled with bright colors & fun prints with printed butterflies you can cut out!

It coordinates with the Build a Butterfly dies and the Best Butterfly Bundle seen here.

I chose to use Starry Sky with White & Parakeet Party for my main colors. The 'pull out' tag for the front is from the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.

Save

For all of the cards in the video I featured the Charming Sentiments bundle seen here. It's filled with great greeting images and lots of coordinating dies that cut them out perfectly!

Blessings of Home & Flowers of Home dies projects

August 30, 2022
Look at this pretty card I made on last week's Facebook Live.

Save

Lots of pretty details on this card:
- Blessings of Home stamp set & Flowers of Home dies for the leaves
- I used watercolor pencils & blender pen to color the floral image
- the gold honeycomb sheet is from the Sweet Sunflower Paper Pumpkin kit; it was a free gift add on
- I used the gold honeycomb sheet to add a pretty, blended background using Balmy Blue ink & a Blending Brush
Save

The Flowers of Home dies are in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog but also available free with a $100 Stampin' Up! order during Sale-a-Bration. See them here. This option ends on Wednesday, August 30th. See all of the Sale-a-Bration options here.

The stamp set & dies are available in a bundle too.

Save

I made a second card using mostly the Flowers of Home dies.

Save

I cased the card from Sue Mohr; I thought it was simply elegant way to create a 'wreath' around the oval sentiment.

The oval dies are from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here. When you cut out the oval it creates both the frame and the inside; two pieces with one die!

I textured the White layer with the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here. It's so pretty and works perfectly with these flower & leaves die-cuts.

Save

The colors I used are Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.

Tip; when adding these delicate die-cuts use just a tiny but of Multipurpose Liquid glue.

Save

Remember that these Flowers of Home dies are free with any $100 order through Wednesday, August 31st.  Sale-a-Bration ends that day.

Click on the photo below to watch the video to see how I made both of these cards & one more too!
