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.

• Double Flap fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

  July 2, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video.  It's a double flap fold card featuring the Sunrise Sailing bundle.

  Save

  The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight.  

  I created a mask for the sun with a 1 7/8" circle punched from a post-it note. I used blending brushes & Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight inks. I also added just a hint of Strawberry Slush ink on the bottom of the cloud die-cuts. 

  The Designer Paper is our new 6 X 6" In Color designer paper seen here.  

  I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity. There are THREE different size sailboats in the dies!  

  As you can see in the sample in the photo below you can make a card with just the embossing folder!

  You can see in the photo below how the front square flap lifts to the right to reveal a peek at the inside. I added the cloud to the back of this square and placed it so it could 'latch' on the larger cloud to hold the card closed.   

  Save

  I create a free project sheet for this card. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .       Download Sunrise Sailing Latch card

  You can see the card fully opened below.  I love this easy but fun card fold.

  June 30, 2025

  Today is the last day of the June Specials:

  • Free Celebratory Sips tutorial for all online orders (seen below)

  Today I'm sharing one of my June Club cards.  It's super fun to make because we did multiple techniques.

  I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity.

  My colors include Pool Party, White and Pecan Pie. The Hybrid embossing folder in this bundle allows you to get a textured sailboat – you can cut & texture all at once!  Watch the video to see how it's done.  

  Notice the textured clouds in the sky. I rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly on the textured Pool Party card stock.  I show how in the video below.  I also added Pool Party ink to the textured waves on the bottom of the card using a blending brush.

  Look at the loop of Linen Thread on the greeting above.  This was a fun & easy way to add something else that is a bit nautical. 

  I create a free project sheet for my Card Clubs each month and then share it with you once I do the video tutorial. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .
