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!

Seashells fun fold card; wow!

February 18, 2021
Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap.

I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea! She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder.

Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper. This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here.

That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here.

Measurements:
- Gray Granite 8 1/2" X 5 1/4" and trim off 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" on the upper left front. Front is 4" X 2 3/4"
- Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4"
- Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front

Playful & unique cards with Oh So Ombre’ Designer paper!

February 17, 2021

Do you have the fabulous Oh So Ombre' Designer Series Paper yet? If not here are three creative reasons you need it!

Save

Aren't they fun! I really wanted to show you how amazing this designer paper is so I played and came up with these neat card ideas. First is a starburst card in two colors; Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss.

I used the fabulous Stitched Star dies and the Oval Occasions stamp set. Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to make one of these gorgeous cards.

Save

Next I played with the Dandy Wishes dies (2021 Spring Catalog) to create these 'Retro' style cards. I first die-cut a bunch of 'windows' in the White panel. Then added punched circles of the Oh So Ombre DSP behind them. Next I textured the entire thing with an embossing folder.

Save

For the last card I wanted to use those retro style die-cuts so I created this Ombre panel card. The stamp set is from Field of Flowers.
