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!

Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!

December 24, 2020

Are you a last minute wrapper? I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live. Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score.

Save

Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock. Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special. I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated.

I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes. Now consider how much DSP you have stored up! Use it; you can do it!

And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

Save

I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers. Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy.

You can watch the video here. Scroll towards the end for the boxes.

Quite Curvy & Classic Christmas Strips

December 23, 2020

I totally enjoy making these strip cards! It seems like I always have little strips of paper left over from a project. Most times I can toss them without a thought but now & then I have trouble doing that. This technique puts them to great use!

Save

You can catch my tips on this technique in the video below.

I used the Classic Christmas designer paper on this card. It's available now through January 4th or while supplies last. The colors are Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler. See it here.

I also used the Quite Curvy stamp set and dies. They are available now and will be in the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog. See them here now.
