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.

  • Right Behind You; so cute!

    I chose the Right Behind You stamp set for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  Here's my card:

    Right Behind You Save

    This set is adorable!  And it has such fun greetings to go with the tandem bicycle as well. Click here to see it. 

    RIGHT BEHIND YOU CLING STAMP SET Save

    Details:

    • I used the 'ground' image to create grass by stamping it numerous times.
    • I used the Basic Border dies seen here to sponge the clouds.  Get my tips on this in the video below or click here. 
    • I used a mask to add the puppy in the basket. 
    • The greeting die-cut is from the Messages die. 
    • I used Stampin' Blends to color in the images.
    • I added a Metallic pearl to the spokes in the bicycle. 
    • The sun is simply sponged in the corner with Daffodil Delight ink. 

    Right Behind You Save

    As you can see it's an easy fun fold card.  Simply add one extra score line to your normal A2 card.  Score the 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Crushed Curry card at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  The Basic Gray is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and the White is 3 3/4" X 5".

    I added grass and flowers to the inside to pull it all together.

  • Pinwheel Tower fun fold cards are easy but a sure WOW!

    I shared this super fun card on Tuesday's FB Live video.  The video is shown below.  Or click here to watch on my FB page.  Don't forget to follow me so you are notified when I go live. 

    Pinwheel Tower Sweet Simmetry . Save

    I used the Sweet Symmetry designer paper and the In  Symmetry stamp set.  Colors are Night of Navy, Just Jade, Calypso Coral, Bumblebee and Flirty Flamingo.  I also used Holiday rhinestones for the bling. 

    This has to be one of the easiest fun fold cards I've made that's also totally unique. And it uses an exact 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock. On each panel you can add a perfect layer (2 1/2" X 4") or have fun adding various pieces of CS or DSP and greetings or stamped images.  

    Here are the measurements for you:

  • Daisy Garden with Picture This dies

    Yesterday I shared a card featuring the Daisy Garden stamp set and today it's a totally different type of card.  

    Daisy Garden Picture This Save

    The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The daisy stamp peeks out from behind the window die cut circles made with the Picture This dies on a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Black CS.  Can you see the stitches?

    These dies include both a large set of circles and another with three rectangles.  You can use the windows like shown above or the die cut circles or rectangles which I used here for the greeting.  

    PICTURE THIS DIES Save

    Check out the Picture This dies here. 

    And here is another way to use these dies; with Designer Paper behind the window.  It's the gorgeous Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper seen here; it was unavailable for almost a month.  And it was in stock for a week but it's unavailable again now until early August.  It's so popular!
