An Pillar fun fold card with Amber Autumn; with video & project tutorial


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!

  • Gifts Galore Paper Pumpkin; just three days left to get it


    I cannot wait to get the upcoming Paper Pumpkin kit; it's always exciting to get it.  Everyone loves Snowmen and it sounds like there are a variety of treat boxes in this month's kit.  I can also see making cute, fast cards with the components in this kit!


    Here is how Stampin' Up! describes the kit: 

    While the cellophane bags in this kit are food-safe, the packaging is sized for both treats and gifts. Have fun with the festive designs of each box—a sweet snowman, a tree with all the trimmings, or a playful pile of presents—and surprise your friends and family with treat and gift packaging that even Santa would be jealous of!

    • The Kit contains enough supplies to create nine treat packages—three each of three designs—and nine food-safe bags. 
    • This all-inclusive kit includes printed die cuts, die-cut boxes, cellophane treat bags, adhesive, and more!
    • Includes an exclusive stamp set and a Classic Stampin’ Spot

  • Nuts About Squirrels fun fold card with Stamparatus video


    We made this cute card at my October card clubs.  See the video towards the bottom of this post. 

    It features the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in the Holiday catalog.  Click here to see it. 

    My colors include Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Vanilla & Pear Pizzazz.  See the tag?  We stamped directly on the die-cut tag using Soft Suede ink. This tag is from the Pretty Pillow Box dies on page 9 of the Holiday catalog. 

    Measurements:

    • Soft Suede 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" plus 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
      Pumpkin Pie 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
      Very Vanilla 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" for front & inside
      Cork paper – scrap for die-cut tag (Pretty Pillow Box dies)

    The Stamparatus made stamping the squirrel images so easy & perfectly placed too! See that here.  It's the best stamp positioning tool out there!

    Watch this video below for lots of tips.

    I have a few more Eden's Garden cards to share today.  This first one features the stamps & dies.  I know many of you are loving the Ever Eden Designer paper but the stamps & dies are also lovely!  

    This card is one of the cards in my free 4 card class this month.  Anyone who places an order over $50 receives a pre-cut card class & PDF.  The kit does not include stamping but everything is die-cut for you; even the bow is done!

    Do you see the texture on the large Soft Succulent layer?  That is from the die itself; not an embossing folder.  You can see how that's done in the video shown here. 

    I used Evening Evergreen & Cherry Cobbler ink and the Eden's Garden stamp set. 

    The next card features the pretty Ever Eden Designer Paper as well as the stamps & dies seen here.  It's a unique layout with just a few layered 2" squares, a stamped background and the pretty greeting label die-cuts. 

    Note the layering effect on these dies.  I share how to do that on the video link above.  

    Did you know you can get the entire collection in your Starter kit?  Get your customized kit at over 40% off!  You actually get $50 free product right now instead of our usual $25.  And shipping is free as well! It's a fabulous deal and a great way to get a bunch of Stampin' Up! products.
