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

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

Save

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?

Save

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.

Save

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!

• More swaps from my talented Demo friends

  November 20, 2024

  I have a few more swaps to share with you today.  These are all from our newest Online Exclusive products. 

  First up is a pretty floral card from Susan Campfield. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle.

  This bundle includes a Hybrid embossing folder that includes dies that coordinate with the folder!  It's so cool. You can see it here in my store. 

  In the photo below you can see the die-cut images that are textured. This is done when the die is inserted into the embossing folder with the card stock.  Yes; it is incredible!

  The next few cards feature the Marbled Elegance suite: 

  This first pretty card is made by Natalie Travis who made the focus of her card that gorgeous golden stitched heart.

  That pretty heart is die-cut with the Hearts of Elegance dies from our new Brushed Metallic paper in both Gold & Silver. See that here. 

  Her measurements are simple – the DSP is 4" X 3", a strip of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4" X 5/8" on a Pretty in Pink card base. 

  Next is a gorgeous card made by Sandy Carlson:

  Her colors are Melon Mambo with White and the same beautiful Marbled Elegance specialty DSP. She also used the new Hearts of Elegance bundle seen here.

  Two punched circles and a 3 1/2" square of DSP show off the elements in this Otter suite. The colors include Balmy blue, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Early Espresso.

  This second swap with the Otterly Amazing suite is made by Tracy Jacobs.

  She created a fun fold by cutting up to the 5 1/2" score line at 1". That layer is adhered to the back of the card base so only the left card front opens. Simple but 'amazing' too!  It really shows off the playful scenes in the Otterly Adorable DSP.  See the DSP here. 

  Below is the bundle with the stamps & dies:

  See this Otterly Amazing bundle here.  Many of the images in the DSP can be cut out with the Otterly Amazing dies.

  You can see the entire suite here.

  Here's a picture of this cute stamp set – it's in the newest Online Exclusives. See it here.
