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!

Cozy Christmas card kit to go; reserve yours now!

October 8, 2026

I had fun creating these fantastic Christmas cards with a former Paper Pumpkin kit from last year. I have a limited quantity of these available this month in a kit to go.

Save

There are 12 cards with envelopes in this kit. I was able to change the kit from 9 to 12 cards. There are so many fantastic die-cut elements included in this one.

This kit includes the pre-cut kit, envelopes, adhesives and gems. You will need a few greetings, inks and embossing folders if you choose to make them like I did.

See it here in my store. It’s $31 plus shipping. The PDF tutorial is $17 and is seen here. The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment. The pre-cut kit is mailed out at the end of October.

Remember that if you order more than one kit shipping is combines and you’ll save $$.

See them all here.

Two more card kits & tutorial are now available for pre-order!

October 7, 2026

I chose the Painted Patch designer series paper for one of my October card kits & tutorials (I have 3 this month!). The colors are incredible together and the patterns are fresh & fun. Look at these Fun Fold cards!

This card kit includes 5 sets of cards and you’ll make 2 of each one. This kit is all unique fun fold layouts.

I paired the Painted Patch DSP with the Painted Patch gems and the Calypso Coral & Copper ribbon. You’ll get a share of each of these products along with the 10 pre-cut cards and the PDF tutorial. Everything is pre-cut for you except the package of DSP. You’ll use the directions in the tutorial to cut your new paper. It’s so easy to create these cards when it’s all ready to go.

I create my kits so you do not need a specific stamp set to finish them. All you need are some greeting images and a few inks.

This kit can be seen here. It’s $32 plus shipping (order more than one to save $$). There is also a PDF tutorial available for $17. See that here.

The tutorials are emailed to you immediately after payment. The pre-cut kits are mailed out at the end of October.

I’ll share the third card kit tomorrow; it’s a Christmas card kit! Here’s a sneak peek:
