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!

Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration

August 23, 2024
Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store.

Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully.

Click on the photo below to see it in the store. Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle:

Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle.

Save

Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold.

Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it.

Here's a list of the products she used:
- So Swirly embossing folder
- Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here
- Exposed Brick embossing folder
- Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime
And look how the cauldron opens!!

Save

She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening. So cool!!

I'll share more Team swaps next week.

Who wants a Designer Paper Share from the Holiday Catalog?!

August 22, 2024

I'm offering a designer paper share from the upcoming Holiday Catalog again! These shares are super popular with so many of you; I glad to help you get a sample of these pretty papers.

Save

It includes a 6 X 6" sheet of each 10 packs of new paper – that's 68 sheets including specialty papers. A double share would include 6" X 12" pieces (except those that come in 6" size) it would be $53 plus $8 shipping.

I can take names and add you to the list. However I cannot accept payment until August 27th due to Stampin' Up!'s rules.

The earlier you opt in the better your chance is to get these soon. They can run out of stock on some and then I have to wait until they're available. I plan to place my order on September 3rd.

Message me here to opt in and how you'd like to pay. PayPal, Venmo, cash or check. *I can use a credit card but I'd need all of your information for that – address, phone number, card number, expiration date.

A neat way to show off your Designer Paper with this easy layout

August 21, 2024

Here's one more special card made with the Nests of Winter designer series paper. This paper can be seen in the 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!

I shared this card in a recent video along with two other fun fold cards. Scroll down to see it.

Save

The colors are Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. I thought the textured CS strip with twine wrapped around it was the perfect addition to this pretty scene. This folder is called Birch Wood. The greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set.

I like that you can really show off your Designer Paper as well as add texture with the strip of CS beside it. This would make a great card layout to mass produce!

I created a free project sheet you can download or print. Click on this link: Download Nests of Winter Sympathy card
