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.

• Two Unique Window cards with Dragonfly Dreams & Soar Confidently stamp sets.

  March 18, 2021

  ---

  I'm featuring our Team Swaps this week and the theme was 'window cards'.  I was so impressed with each and every one of them!  

  First up is Deloris's card with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set seen here.

  The little dragonfly is from the Dragonfly Punch which is in the Dragonfly Garden bundle seen here. 

  Save

  She used two of the Stitched Label dies and the Subtle embossing folder.  Her colors are Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry.  I believe she colored the flowers in with Blends markers.  Beautiful job! 

  *The greeting and die-cut are retired and not currently available.  

  ~~~

  Next is a gorgeous card made by Ginny.  She used the Oval dies and the Soar Confidently stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  Her colors are Crumb Cake with Soft Suede & Vanilla. That great texture is from the Tasteful Textile folder in the annual catalog. Adding a bit of color to the balloon really makes it stand out!  Take a look at the inside!

• Sand & Sea Spinner Fun-Fold card

  March 17, 2021

  ---

  For our Team swap this month Candace created this pretty spinner card with the Friends are Like Seashells bundle and the Seashell embossing folder.  

  Save

  This gorgeous embossing folder has been unavailable for a few weeks; but it should be back in stock on the 29th of March.

  Her colors are Sahara Sand, Navy & Calypso Coral. She used the Oval dies and the Stitched Shapes dies for her spinner.  She also added beautiful shimmer to the shell but it doesn't show up well in this photo. 

  To make a spinner card you need to adhere a length of twine between two ovals adhering the twine under another layer on the main card.  It's not hard; just a bit fiddly. 

  She went above the window card theme and added a surprise flip up layer! 

  Save

  Stop back in for more window cards all week long!
