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!

Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!

July 23, 2021

I created this card for an online swap I participated in. I love to join card swaps! I can create one card and make multiples of it. Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of! Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style. Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!

I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper. I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card. They can be very easy on the eye.

Save

I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine. The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers.

The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog. If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now. This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too!

In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag. It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!
