Trusty Tools single gatefold card with the Sale-a-Bration Trusty Toolbox designer paper

Last week I shared the projects featuring the Trusty Tools bundle and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper in my weekly video. I've shared the free project sheets for two of those in the last two blog posts.

Today I'll focus on the third project on the right – a single gate-fold card with a 'faux' toolbox on the front.

I love this greeting!  It's from the Trusty Tools bundle seen here.  The tools in front are all fussy cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper (and Holographic specialty paper in the Annual Catalog) although a few of the dies in the bundle coordinate with the paper.

I did not create a project sheet for this project but I will provide the measurements:

Measurements:

• Gray Granite card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4" plus die-cut tool box pieces 
• DSP – front is 2" X 5 1/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4" plus fussy cut tools
• Black 3 1/2" square
• White greeting layer 2 3/4" X 1"; inside is 3 1/4" square

Here's the inside view:

I also shared this adorable treat box on the video as well as another cool fun-fold card; I hope you watch it!

• Finally! We’re getting a new Stampin’ Positioner!

  January 23, 2026

  ---

  Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

  Save

  As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

  Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

  The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

  This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!

  It sounds like the general population will have to wait to get theirs…. but they promise it will be available sometime later this year to everyone.

• Quick Notecard idea with the Banner Sayings bundle

  January 20, 2026

  ---

  I needed to send a few special cards to my Team members this weekend and so I created these cute notecards:

  Save

  The large piece of designer paper is 4″ X 3″ and the bottom strip is 4″ X 1″. I added a 1/4″ strip of textured Coastal Cabana between them (I found it in my scraps).

  I chose to make notecards because the package I was sending their prizes in was narrow and these fit perfectly.
  Did you know we carry pre-scored notecards with envelopes? The package includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for just $10. You can see them here.

  I chose the Hobby Haven designer paper because of it’s colors and ‘hobby’ themed prints. See it here. It’s part of our Online product selection.

  I decided to feature the Banner Sayings bundle for a few reasons. It’s quick with the coordinating punch and the greeting I chose fit my needs perfectly. Click here to see it. The new Triple Banner punch was out of stock for weeks! But now it’s back.
