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!

Quick & easy card layout to make multiples of; with measurements & free project sheet

October 5, 2026

I shared multiple cards using this neat layout on last week’s video. I was inspired by a card I received from my friend & team member Judith.

Save

The designer paper is called Autumn Opulence and can be seen here. This specialty pack includes two pages of coordinating printed die-cuts.

Save

I think this layout is a great way to use your designer paper. You can get lots from each sheet and make multiple cards quickly.

The greeting is from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set.

I used Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze and Vanilla for my colors. That textured layer is made with the Softly Woven embossing folder seen here.

I created a free project sheet for this card; it includes measurements, supplies list and directions. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card. I’ll share the other two cards soon.
