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!

Check out these Just Kiddin’ Suite cards by our Artist of the Month!

March 7, 2024

Today I'm sharing multiple cards made by Marla – our February Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team. She chose to feature the Just Kiddin' suite seen here.

Save

This card was cased from Lisa Curcio and is called a 3 tiered easel card. It's a neat fun fold card.

Save

The front two panels are folded down in the photo above so you can see the back panel of the 3 tiers. Very clever!

Save

She used one of the scenes in the DSP for her background and added the girl, ball, pennants, stool and greeting!

Save

This is a mini slimline card. I believe she stamped the pillows but the rest are cut from the DSP or die-cut with the dies in the bundle.

Save

Here she added the kids, a greeting and the 'block' castle to the Just Kiddin' DSP scene.

Save

ON the card above she scored the back of her card base in half (2 3/4") and added the scene and the greeting strip in front with extra scored ends that create a curved element. That pretty purple glimmer paper is from our Online Exclusives. So cool!

Save

This scene is made with the dies in the Just Kiddin' bundle seen here and of course the little girl (fussy cut) from the DSP.

Save

Adding the kids with Dimensionals completes the scene. I love how she let the Just Kiddin' DSP do the work of the background!

Save

This gatefold card opens up to reveal a full scene! Don't yo love the little baby peeking out!?

The greeting is on one layer and the kits are on another layer; both have a double score line that makes them pop up slightly.

Save

Didn't she do an incredible job showcasing the Just Kiddin' suite?! Great job Marla!!

Another version of my 1 sheet box & cards; featuring the Softly Sophisticated DSP

March 6, 2024

Today I'm sharing the second version of my 1 sheet box & cards. I shared the other one on Monday; See it here.

Save

These projects feature the Softly Sophisticated designer paper from our recent Sale-a-Bration promotion. Sadly SAB is over so it's not available anymore. You can easily substitute your favorite designer paper instead.

Please watch the video tutorial below to see how to make this box. I used the crinkled Pool Party ribbon from SAB to close it and the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp & punch bundle on these projects.

Save

I decided to attach the ribbon on this box instead of leaving it loose. I used Tear & Tape and adhered it to the back, upper flap and half of the front. I tied the tag to the ribbon with twine so it's easy to tie together again.

Save

Here's the template you can save. It's also included in the free project sheet below too.

Save

Here are both of my 1 sheet boxes; which is your favorite?

Save

Next I'll share the individual cards with the measurements. Each one is a special but easy fun fold layout. I used just one stamp set on these cards – the Heartfelt Hexagon set. The coordinating Hexagon punch is unavailable right now; it's out of stock but will be back in April.

Note the decorated envelopes to match! Doing this makes your projects extra special and uses up your designer paper stash too.

Save

This card is a new take on a book-binding card fold. It has just one extra layer of card stock to make it a new fold.

Measurements: Calypso Coral card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP – large panel is 3" X 4", 1" X 4" & 2" X 4"

Save

I love this card fold! It used the trimmed off layer from the card base as the front panel.

Measurements: Pebbled Path – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"

Save

This card shows off both sides of your designer paper since the DSP is actually the front of your card base.

Measurements: Pool Party is 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP – 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Wild Wheat strip 4" X 1"

Click here or on the photo below to watch the video tutorial. It will help you understand how to make the box. Don't forget to follow me on YouTube while you're there!
