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.

  • Quick cards with the Field & Flower DSP & In Color cards & envelopes

    Have you noticed our In Color cards & envelopes?  They're called Flowers for Every Season Memories & More cards & envelopes; whew!  That's a long name, right?!  See them on page 154 of the annual catalog or click here.  They're larger than our average card at 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" and come with 10 printed cards and envelopes.  All for $11 and in our pretty 2020-22 In Colors.  


    In Color Field & Flower Save

    This week I'm sharing cards made with this beautiful Flower & Field DSP; it's free with any $50 order in February during Sale-a-Bration.  See it here. 

    Here I added a piece of the Flower & Field DSP measuring 3" X 4" to these pretty cards. Then a layered greeting and a punched flower.  So easy, but aren't they cute?!

    I used a few of our Pick a Banner punches for the White 1" strip and the Blossom punch for the flower. I added a vellum piece underneath punched with the Story Label punch.   The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.
