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!

Sweet Citrus video; a Grapefruit version with optional gift card

March 8, 2023
We made this CUTE fun fold card at my February Card Clubs and it was a big hit! Everyone loved the fresh color combo and how cool the textured fruit images are.

Save

I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya and Granny Apple Green. You can sure see the texture in the photo above. Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once? It's super cool and saves a step.

I show how in the video along with how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus. Perfect every time!

The card is a bit different in that the lower panel can be left open to add a gift card or money into. Or seal it up; your choice.

Sweet Citrus bundle with a Hybrid embossing folder; you can texture & cut at the same time!

March 7, 2023

In a recent video I shared multiple projects featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Every card I make with this set is my favorite! How can that be?

Save

Let's start with colors – they're Balmy Blue with Daffodil Delight and Garden Green. So fresh and spring-like.

The designer paper is called Country Gingham seen here.

The images and greetings are all from the Sweet Citrus stamp set. It comes in a bundle with dies AND a Hybrid embossing folder. See it here

What is a Hybrid embossing folder? It's one that allows you to cut AND texture at the same time.  You can use it the usual way as well. But using the die & folder together eliminates a step. I show how it's done in the video here.

Save

There are many reasons to get this bundle but the greetings are a big one. So perfect and coordinate nicely with the stamp theme.

I shared lots of samples in the video; I hope you watch it! Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on YouTube here.

4 of the 5 designs are fun folds in this kit including an explosion and a shaker card. It was difficult to get a good photo. But they are gorgeous in real life!
