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!

This card really shows off the two embossing folders I used. On the card below I used the Dotted Circles 3D folder seen here. It's an extra large folder (6" X 8 1/2") that has very deep texture. It's Shy Shamrock with Pretty in Pink. The designer paper is the Unbounded Beauty.

Save

The card below features the Eyelet 3D folder which is quite pretty & delicate. See it here. This card is Petunia Pop with Shy Shamrock.

Do you notice the difference in the greetings? I fussy cut one to add to the In Color Glimmer paper and the other I simply trimmed the ends at an angle.

Spotlight on Nature unique Z-fold card with video & free project sheet

June 10, 2024

I shared this unique & easy fun fold card on last week's Live video.

Save

It doesn't look like a fun fold card does it? I featured it at my May Card Clubs. I love the way the detailed die is popped up on Dimensionals which shows off the die-cut pattern. There's a simply trick to stamp over the die-cut after you cut out the die shape; watch the video to learn how.

It features three new In Colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. The colors include Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock & Peach Pie. I colored in the butterfly & flowers with Pretty in Pink & Peach Pie blends. Want to know how to do this? Watch the video here or below. I love combining two colors like this!

The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June too! See it here.

I'm calling it a Z-fold because the inside White layer is folded like a 'Z'. It connects the card front and the card base & opens like this:

I'm not surprised that the pretty Thoughtful Journey designer paper is unavailable right now. I featured it in my June card kit to go posting next week. It should be back around June 24th.

Next is the last card in her bundle of gorgeousness.

Do you see how she fussy cut a second layer of designer paper and another set of flowers to pop up over the first? Great technique! I love how she added attention to the greeting with a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

Thank you sooo much for sharing your creativity with us Judith!
