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!

Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme

March 19, 2025

This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March. Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper!

First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.

Save

She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp. This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured. Gorgeous!

Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

Save

She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals. Well done!

Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card:

Save

She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here. Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple! Good job Kim!

Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.

Save

Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue. She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over.

Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring. Love that tail!

More swaps will be shared tomorrow!

I shared this card on last week's video and am happy to share it with you here today. I also have a free project sheet below too.

It features the Lovely Garden designer paper seen online here.

My card base is Melon Mambo with Black, White & Garden Green accents. The greeting is from the Layering Leaves stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies.

I made a second version during the video (seen here) in different colors.

Save

The stitched die-cut I used on the DSP is from the new Textured Notes dies seen here. I love these! I bet they'll sell fast!

Save

I fussy cut extra flowers to pop up over the printed flower in the DSP.

Save

Here's the template for the DSP part of this card. My generous friend Susie Wood shared this with me.

In the photo below you can see how this card opens. The DSP measures 6" side and 7 1/4" tall and is scored at 2" from the upper and left sides. Then fold it at an angle matching up the score lines. Watch the video below to understand this.

I love these stencils! They are so easy to work with. Watch the video below for a special tip on lining them up.

This card looks like it might be hard to assemble but with the center 'brace' that helps the center panel pop out it's quite simple. It will really help you understand how to make it if you watch the video tutorial below.

My colors include Melon Mambo with Blueberry Bushel. Here's how the card looks with the inside brace added before I adhered the center panel:

Save

I made the yellow/green version on the video to show a different color combo.

I colored the flowers by using the stencils included in the bundle. So easy and makes you look like a true artist with the high and low lights added with blending brushes.
