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.

Two striking ‘WOW’ cards with Paper Strips!

April 5, 2021

This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video. If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well.

I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them.

Save

This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips. I find the colors stunning together!

Save

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight. The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards.

These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.

The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.

Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time.

Save

The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last! the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.

Below is the video with 10 unique and amazing cards all made with leftover paper strips!
