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!

Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!

October 13, 2023

Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects!

Save

The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually.

First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

Save

She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base. Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him! The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.

Here's the Them Bones designer paper:

Save

Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite. She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

Save

The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper. You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.

Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut. She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.

Save

Save

This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton. Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!

Save

These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here. Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.

Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper. Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze.

Save

Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!

This next card shows off a neat background effect. She used the Deckled Circle dies

Save

The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it. Cool!

Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully! Fantastic job Candy!!!
