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!

Fun & Simple card layout for designer paper with video tutorial

February 19, 2025

Here's one more card shared on last week's Live video. It is a very simple layout with a bit of fun to it.

Save

It's simply two layers of designer series paper with a slanted greeting across it. The slant adds a bit of playfulness to the vertical layers.

I used the Mixed Media Florals suite seen here. It's in our Online Exclusives line which is available to everyone. The Online title confuses some people but all it really means is that it's not in any published catalog and can be found in our online store.

Save

I tried another version above; one with flowers and the other with a patterned design. Which do you prefer?

The center panel is 2" X 5 1/2" and the outer is 2 1/2" X 5 1/2". The Black strip across is 1" wide.

The main panel is actually black & white without color. I used our Blends markers to add color to it. I love the ability to add whatever color I want to feature. In this case Petal Pink with pops of Lemon Lolly, Black and Old Olive.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and two other layouts using this pretty designer paper.

Neat Z-fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

February 17, 2025

Today I'm sharing a neat Z-fold card that's a little different than usual. I chose to feature the new Mixed Media Floral designer paper from our Online Exclusives line. You can see it here.

Save

My colors include Mossy Meadow, White & Calypso Coral. The left card above has a 4" square of DSP as the main panel. On the right card I fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and added them over a printed blue panel that resembles sky.

The greeting is from the SAB Heart Shaped bundle; the die-cut is from the Mixed Label dies and the Coral piece is punched using the Labeled with Love punch.

You can see how it opens in the photo below: The card base is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and there's a full 11" X 4 1/4" scored layer above it.
