An Pillar fun fold card with Amber Autumn; with video & project tutorial

November 3, 2025

I love this fun fold card! So easy yet unique as well.

I used the Amber Autumn stamp & dies bundle seen here. I was initially on the fence about this set; did I need another fall themed bundle? But wow; am I glad I bought it!
See how I finished the back side?

I used the large detailed die to add pretty borders to the sides. So pretty! It’s quite easy to snip a few of the connection points on the leaves. Here’s a photo of this pretty bundle:

I created a different version on my video.

Which one do you prefer? Notice that the pillar is on different sides of each card; do you have a preference?
Both feature the Gathering Together specialty designer paper. I also used a bit of the Earthen Toned Metallic paper for the die-cut leaves.

The card stock colors include Early Espresso, Vanilla and Timid Tiger.
In the video I shared how to get some highlights on your colored image using the Color Lifter Blends marker.

Here’s how the back looks on the Timid Tiger card:

Be sure to watch the video tutorial for this fun fold card and my other project featuring the Amber Autumn bundle. It’s a gorgeous set of products!

I've seen a few projects with the Marvelous Nature set and was intrigued by it's reverse images. And it's nature so I ordered it. This card was one of two I made on this week's Live video:

I chose to use Lost Lagoon with Pretty Peacock. I also added some of the Hello, Irresistible designer paper. This pretty DSP is on sale right now too! See it here.

You may also spy the shimmery strip beside the greeting. This is our Soft Shimmer 12" X 12" paper pack seen here. It has 5 rich colors in it.

The Marvelous Nature stamp set (seen here) includes two beautiful images and three greetings. I kept my card very simple to show off the pretty fern image.

Gorgeously Made & Delightfully Eclectic swaps

June 6, 2023
I thought I'd share a few swaps I received on the Norway incentive trip.

This first card was made by Alanna Wharf. It features the Gorgeously Made bundle seen here.

Save

This card put me over the edge; now I have to get this bundle!

She used the Masterfully Made 12" designer paper seen here (sale price now at $10.62) and the Soft Shimmer 12" combo pack on the leaf die-cut.

Here's a close-up of this specialty paper and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I love the simplicity of this card; it really shows off the die-cut, pretty DSP & texture.

Save

Next is a card my friend Susie Wood made with the new Delightfully Eclectic 12 X 12" designer paper seen here. It's on sale this month; marked down from $30 to $25.50. There are 48 sheets in this pack; 4 each of 12 designs.

Save

I love her layout; it really shows off the pattern of the daisy DSP. That greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.

Save

Her measurements are:
- Petal Pink card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- yellow DSP 2" X 4"
- Crushed Curry CS 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
- daisy DSP 4 pieces at 1" X 3"
