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!

Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!

February 25, 2021

Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper. It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!

Playing with strips has always been fun for me. On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long. Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.

I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between. I didn't worry about the edges at all. After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.

Save

Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper. I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter.

Save

The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.

Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.
