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

• Circle Celebration; so fun!

  April 20, 2021

  ---

  I have to share this neat card Chanda made for her Card Club swap.  I love seeing their style and what my gals make. 

  Save

  She stamped the images from the Circle Celebration stamp set (seen here) all over her 4" X 5 1/4" White CS.  Then she stamped more and punched and fussy cut them out to add dimension to the card. 

  I believe her colors are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Real Red. 

  Such a fun and happy card.  Great job Chanda! 

  I'll be using this fun stamp set in a Kit to Go in May; the cards are so fun!!

• 3 Flowering Cactus Fun Fold cards with video!

  April 19, 2021

  ---

  I created these cards on Facebook Live last week using the Flowering Cactus product medley seen on pages 8-9 of the Spring Catalog.  But I purchased the refill kit instead of the main suite because I wanted mostly the paper, twine and felt accents. 

  You'll find the video below.  For those of you on Facebook you can see it here.  

  I share a FB Live video each Tuesday at 11 am CT.  Join me here!

  This fold is called a Joy Fold card; a favorite of mine that is basically two half cards folded into one another. 

  The colors are Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and White.   The greeting is from Happiest of Birthdays.  The inside greeting is from Happy Thoughts set in the Spring catalog. 

  Save

  Next is an accordion style card.  I kind of made this one up; trying to use just half of a sheet of card stock for the fold. 

  Save

  This greeting die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and that embossing texture is made with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.  The greeting is from Simply Succulents stamp set in the Spring catalog. 

  Save

  Lastly is a super simple fun fold card that shows off your designer paper well; on the front and the inside of the card. *See measurements in the photo below. 

  Save

  The colors here are Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral and White.  The pretty Coral twine comes in the refill kit.

  Here's the video for you; enjoy!

  At first I thought this card layout might be too simple for my Stamp with Me Live video this week. But the cards turned out wonderful and really highlight your designer paper and greeting!  Join me here on Facebook for 6 Live videos each month! 

  These would be great cards to make a bunch of and you'd use up some of your Designer Paper stash too!

  I'll share a few of them for you but be sure to watch the video below for tips and more.
