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 this CUTE project I made on last week's Facebook Live. It's an adorable hat that doubles as a treat box. Besides Christmas this could be perfect for a child or a baby shower!

Save

The two hats are made with our Layering Circle dies and Whimsy & Wonder specialty DSP. I used the largest scalloped die and the largest smooth die in the set. To get the sides of the greeting strips I used the round end of a punch. *tip shared in the video here. They are 1/2" and 3/4" in width.

Below is the template for the box; please watch the video below to see how it's put together.

Lots of Whimsical Trees card ideas; with video!

November 9, 2021

I played with the Whimsical Trees bundle on last week's FB Live. You can watch the video here.

The Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper coordinates with it too. And it's back in stock too!

Save

I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects. Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right during the Live video. Look at the detail on these die-cuts! So many choices!

Save

Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here. The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here.

Save

I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate. That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination. No more shopping for things that match!

Save

This card below is probably my favorite of the three. I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink. Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree.

What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!

Save

The 2021-23 In Color gems add a bit of bling to the popped up tree. The greeting is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set.

A unique but easy fun fold card; join me Live tonight!

November 8, 2021
I do a Live video the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings focusing on using Designer Paper. Many of us hoard it so I'm hoping to inspire you to use it!

We're making these neat fun fold cards on FB live at 7:30 pm CT tonight. Go here to join me.

Or see it here afterwards.

The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up. It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front.

I chose to use the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. See it here or on page 133.

Other products include:
- Tidings of Christmas bundle (annual catalog pg. 89 or seen here)
- Stitched so Sweetly dies
- Star-crossed embossing folder
- Holiday rhinestones
Save

Measurements
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" plus 1" X 4" strip for embossed layer. *To cut the front flap, cut at the 4 1/4" point to the score line.
- Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" square, plus 3/4" X 5" strip
- DSP 1 7/8" squares X 4 (can be 1 3/4" also)
