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

  Today I'm sharing two incredible fun fold swaps from our Team card swap this month.  The theme was to feature plaid. 

  Save

  Candace created her own plaid using markers on the upper left panel.  Wow!  He also used the Thankful Garden bundle for her flowers and leaves. This bundle includes dies and masks!  See it here.  

  I love the sponging she did on her die-cut leaves.  Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather.  The inside die is from the Arches dies – currently unavailable unfortunately.

  Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card. 

  She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.  
  

  Save

  And it opens yet one more time!  I love how she added details to every layer on each side.   Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.

• Look at these wonderful Plaid Themed card swaps

  April 24, 2025

  ---

  I'm excited to share these fabulous swap cards by my Flowerbug's Team today.  Our theme was to use plaid in some way on our cards. 

  Jacki made this unique card with the Timeless Plaid DSP.  

  Save

  She cut three pieces of Timeless Plaid DSP using the Stylish Shapes dies. Then cut them into even pieces and added her sentiment between them.  I love the simple addition of the twine on the upper left.  She used the new Secret Sea with Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.  

  Paula made this gorgeous card also using the Timeless Plaid DSP.  

  Save

  She also used the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and the Textured Notes dies and the Wishing You bundle. I love her color combo; it really shows off the pretty colors in the DSP.  Look at the ribbon threaded through the die-cut edges!  Her colors include Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. 

  Candy made this gorgeous card using the Twisted in Time stamp set. 
  

  Save

  She also used the Textured Notes dies and the Plaid embossing folder.  Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Basic Beige and Early Espresso. 

  More swaps coming tomorrow!  

  Do NOT forget about the free shipping promotion through Friday!
