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!

Wow; look at this gorgeous Fall Sampler!!

October 29, 2020

Earlier this month my Flowerbug's Team held a Fall Sampler swap. We each created one element and made multiples of it for everyone in the swap. These swaps are super fun to make! The only rule we have is that everything is current Stampin' Up! product and the colors coordinate with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Look!!

Isn't it amazing!? We had enough people to make two! I'll share the other one tomorrow.

I adhered each piece on a 12" sheet of the In Good Taste designer series paper. This texture style paper is on sale right now in October! But there's just two days left to get it! Go here to order yours.

Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!

October 27, 2020

Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week. It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.

Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects!

Which one do you prefer? Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately:

I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image.

Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle. I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut. The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies.

Have you decided on your favorite yet?

I'll be sharing another card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set tomorrow. Do you have yours yet? If not go here to order!
