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.

  • Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

    Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is. 

    We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting.  What are your traditions for Easter?   

    I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.

    On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out.  I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!

  • A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea

    The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

    March 2021 Here's To You PP Save

    One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

    Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

    The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

  • Snailed It; fun, colorful & adorable

    This cute designer paper is retiring and not returning in the new Annual Catalog in May. It is full of bright colors and adorable patterns.   I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch seen here.
