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.  

Save

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!

• Impressions Abloom In Color card with free project sheet & video

  May 26, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.  We made it at my card clubs in May.  

  Save

  It features two of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling.  The card base is Summer Splash.  I think these colors are fabulous together. 

  The Strawberry Slush layer was embossed with the new Pressed Flowers embossing folder.  It's part of this suite and can be seen here.  

  Save

  I popped up the stamped oval and adhered the stitched frame flat. I added our new 2025-27 In Color flat pearls. They're awesome and can be found here.  They come in the previous In Colors as well. 

  The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies.  I'll be sharing a few cards made with it this week to convince you how great it is.  

  Save

  This stamp set is both a 2-step set and distinktive which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  

  Look at the Summer Splash flowers on each card. They're different. The card on the left was done by not matching up the flower images. It gives the look of a fuller flower compared to the card on the right.  Lots of options!

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more using this wonderful bundle.  I hope you watch it; don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too!

• Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle

  May 23, 2025

  ---

  I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK. 

  Save

  She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder.  What a fun card!  The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below. 

  This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

  Save

  This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip.  The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.  

  Save

  The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes!  At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.
