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.

Curvy Christmas & the Postage Punch

November 6, 2020
Check out this easy card using the new Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Postage Punch!

Save

It's super simple! Here's how I made it:
1. Stamp the curvy trees image on the White CS using Shaded Spruce ink. Color the trees with a Light Shaded Spruce Blends marker. Add a tiny star using Cherry Cobbler ink on one tree. Adhere it to the Cherry Cobbler layer and to the main card.
2. Punch out three pieces of Classic Christmas designer paper with the Postage Punch seen here. Adhere to the White CS.
3. Stamp the greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink on a 1/2" strip of White CS. Punch the ends with the Banners Pick a Punch. Add it to the card with mini dimensionals.
4. Finish with a few Holiday rhinestones.
You can see this stamp set here; it's only available through January 4th. And the Classic Christmas Designer Paper is here while supplies last.

Remember that everyone who orders any of these products or places an online order with me in November will receive a free 22 project PDF tutorial featuring the Curvy Celebration products!

Gift Wrapped Box Fold Card with video

November 5, 2020

Check out this cute Christmas card we made at my October Card Clubs! It's a box fold card; a super cute but easy fun fold.

Save

The colors are Real Red with Granny Apple Green & White. The dies on the front are the Stitched Shapes and Hippos & Friends.

It even folds flat for mailing! As you can see the back is similar to the front; leaving some space to write or sign the card.

I used the Gift Wrapped punch bundle from the Holiday catalog. You can see it here.

Peaceful Nativity WOW card

November 4, 2020

Look what happens when you combine a beautiful background with the Nativity Dies?!

Candace created this gorgeous card for our October Christmas cards swap with my Flowerbug's Team. She is a master at sponging backgrounds. I believe she used Pacific Point here. She simply added a greeting (from For Unto Us set) embossed in Silver and the pretty scenic die-cuts in Black.

Click here to see the For Unto Us stamp set and here for the Peaceful Nativity bundle.
