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!

Beautiful cards with the new Perched in a Tree bundle!

July 25, 2022

This bundle was one of my first purchases from the new 2022 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. I love this birch tree die-cut and made a bunch of these cards for an online swap last month.

It creates a pretty window of birch trees that can be the star of the card. I simply sponged a bit of Crumb Cake ink over a few areas and added it to a Pool Party layer. The greeting is also from this bundle and is stamped on a die-cut from the All That dies in the Annual catalog. The angled Soft Suede die-cut behind it is also from the Aspen dies in this bundle.

My friend Susie Wood sent me this gorgeous card last week. She created a fall themed card with Crumb Cake & Cajun Craze. I LOVE her multicolored leaf! She inked it in a lighter color and sponged Cajun Craze over the upper edges before stamping and fussy cutting it. It and the greeting are both from the Soft Seedlings stamp set seen here.

I hope you enjoyed seeing two totally different projects with this pretty bundle!
