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.

Another Boho Medley card

July 3, 2020
Here's another pretty card featuring the Boho Indigo Product Medley on page 9 of the annual catalog. See it here online.

Save

Details:
1. I stamped the greeting from the medley onto a scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Then I added a few die-cuts from the Medley in Misty Moonlight & Granny Apple Green.
2. I colored the rhinestones with a Light Navy blends marker. The designer paper strips are 3" wide by 4 1/2" long and punched with the Banner Triple punch.
3. The Misty Moonlight layer is 3 3/4" X 5" in size. I added a 3/4" X 4 1/4" Granny Apple Green strip of CS across the back.
The Boho Indigo Product Medley comes with a whole bunch of products all in one box including stamps, dies, beautiful designer paper in 6 X 6" size, textured card stock, die-cuts, ribbon and paper/bead flowers. The colors are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Vanilla, White, Garden Green & gold.

If you purchase this Medley in July you'll earn a $5 coupon code to redeem in August. Yay for Bonus Days!!

There's even a refill option (without the stamps, dies & ribbon) but it is on back order until mid July. It includes the papers and the flowers. See that here.

I decided to use the Rectangular Postage punch for a quick, pretty card. See it here.

The colors are Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray & White. The Misty Moonlight pieces are textured with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. The greetings are from the Fancy Phrases stamp set seen here. I used the Tailored Tag punch for the front greeting. That delicate flower on the greeting is included in the Product Medley AND the refill for it.
