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.

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.

  • An easy double flap fun fold layout with Pretty Prints DSP. A video, measurements and a gift card option!

    I love fun fold cards that stay closed AND are easy for the recipient to figure out.  This double flap fancy fold card is just that!

    We made them on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  You can watch the video here.

    These cards feature the Pretty Prints designer paper seen here.  It's NEW in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  There are multiple prints all in these 4 colors – Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay and Evening Evergreen.

    I used two stamp sets here; both new in the new Annual catalog.  Good Feelings seen here and Botanical Layers seen here.

    One of my favorite things about this fun fold layout is that you can choose to fold or trim it off at the 1 1/2" mark.  Folding it inside creates a pocket for a gift card.  Trimming it off shortens it.  Your choice!  Or make a few of each like I did.

    The die-cut butterflies from Brilliant Wings dies add a pretty touch to these botanical cards. The lower butterfly is added just beyond the outside corner flap to anchor it closed.  So easy and keeps the card laying flat.
