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.

  • Have a Hoot Bundle; for Christmas!

    At first I thought this bundle was just for Halloween.  But when looking at the images provided it works wonderfully for Christmas too!  

    I made these cards on Facebook Live last week. I've been working with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper all week; it's simply gorgeous and in so many of my favorite colors!

    Oct 13th Have a Hoot Save

    Here's the first one.  Did you know the Peek-a-Hoot dies cut out all 3 window at once?!  There's no measuring or figuring out placement at all.  You can see the video below.  

    Oct 13th Have a Hoot Save

    I stamped directly onto the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here.  I love the pretty purple/blue background!  The two owls are die-cut using the same die set.  I added a bit of color to them with Blends markers and finished with a bit of Balmy Blue glimmer accents and Adhesive Backed Snowflake Sequins. 

    This next card uses two of the tags left when die-cutting the windows on the card above.  I did cut out one extra.  I stamped and colored directly on them.

    Other details:

    • A glimmer die-cut star covers up the 'spider' on the center panel.  
    • The Highland Heather panel (4" X 5 1/4") is embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder.
    • the 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP is under the three stamped tags. 
    • The greeting tag is punched with the Everyday Label punch; start with a 1/2" white strip. Stamp and punch.
