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.

• Unique Silver & Gold Designer Paper technique ideas with video!

  August 4, 2022

  ---

  I played with the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper on this week's FB Live and this is one of my favorite projects:

  My goal was to share different ways to add color to this pretty metallic themed paper.  for this card I used our Water Brushes and our 2022-24 In Color ink.  I filled the water brush with water, using the largest brush, added a wash of four of the five colors.  

  This card layout is one referred to as the Stack & Cut technique.  You start out with at least 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut using the template below.  It's so easy and is a fabulous way to showcase your designer paper.  

  Save

  The sentiment is from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set – a free choice from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  This stamp set is free with any $100 Stampin' Up! order.  See all of the Sale-a-Bration free choices here.

  If you want either of these products why not take advantage of my BOGO sale and get free products from me with our purchase.  You'll still get New products from Stampin' Up! but also get to choose from my big bunch of retired Stampin' Up! products.  See details below, or view them all in my two albums here on my FB page.

• CUTE Butterfly Kisses Card Kit to go or Tutorial

  August 3, 2022

  ---

  I chose to feature the Butterfly Kisses designer paper for one of my August card kits to go.  It's so colorful & bright!  

  Save

  I created 2 each of 5 different cards; a few are special fun fold designs.  I find it quite enjoyable to create when I gather products that 'work' together so easily.  I let the colors in the DSP guide me and added Starry Sky ribbon & Fun Flowers resin shapes for accents.  

  If you like these cards you have a few options; get the pre-cut kit to go with the PDF tutorial or just the PDF tutorial only.  

  The pre-cut kit includes the following: 

  • All pre-cut pieces including punched or die-cuts
  • 1/2 pkg of 6 X 6" Butterfly Kisses DSP (you'll cut using the directions)
  • a share of Starry Sky Metallic Woven ribbon
  • a share of Fun Flowers Resin Shapes
  • The free PDF tutorial – photos, step by step directions, measurements & a supplies list

  Choose the pre-cut kit here or the PDF tutorial here.
