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.

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.

  • Happy Birthday to You; a free stamp set!

    Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet?  The cake on a pedestal image is quite pretty and easy to color too. 

    And guess what?!  They are releasing a set of die-cuts for this set next month!  It includes 7 dies including one for the entire cake, just the flowers, a detailed pedestal and two sets of leaves.  It will be for purchase; it's not part of Sale-a-Bration.  There are 6 new items they'll release on February 4th that coordinate with items in the new Mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I'll share more on that soon.  

    This pretty card has a bit of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the edge; it brings together the soft colors of Pool Party, Petal Pink and White.  It's a bonus card for those who take my New Catalog stamp a stack class on January 25th.

    That detailed scalloped rectangle is from my favorite new set of dies; Stitched So Sweetly.  It's one of the best things in the new Mini Catalog!  

    I colored the cake with Blends markers in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mint Macaron.  The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate.  Note the addition of the Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon! 

    The Parisian Blossom DSP, Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon are all included in this month's Cards kit to go.  Click here to get the details on it.  Or message me at lagreff60@gmail.com

    Here's a photo of all you get in the kit; $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards!  All for $28 before shipping. You do need to RSVP by tomorrow, Thursday January 16th to receive it though!

  • Another Positive thoughts card; in a unique color combination

    I have no idea where I came up with this color combination.  I started out with the Petal Pink because I wanted to use the gorgeous champagne edged ribbon.  Maybe I was avoiding green; but the Basic Gray looks beautiful with the Petal Pink!

    The Positive Thoughts stamp set is so easy to play with; the images are soft yet detailed which is totally my style. That embossing folder is called 'Coastal Weave'.  It's a free gift to everyone who places an online order over $65 this month (detailed below). 

    AND, they are coming out with dies to coordinate with this stamp set in February!  I'm so excited about them.  It includes 11 dies for each of the images in the set plus more!  A stitched rectangle, a detailed edgelit and more botanical images.  You'll love them!  They will be for purchase; they're not part of Sale-a-Bration.

    Besides the pretty images the greetings put me over the edge to buy it.  I know I'll use them a lot.

  • Stitched So Sweetly & Positive Thoughts

    Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other.  I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

    I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.  

    And here is the first version:  Which do you prefer?  This (above) or that (below)?
