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!

Cheers & Sips card with the Everyday Arches dies; video & free project sheet too!

July 15, 2025

A simple fun fold with the Everyday Arches dies and the Cheers & Sips suite.

I fussy cut the two drinks from the designer paper for the front arch. The inside arch has the drink, umbrella and greeting stamped from the images in the set. The card base is Old Olive and scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". To get the arches lined up I encourage you to adhere the inside arch first and then close the card. Now adhere the front arch to match. Easy!

Super neat fun fold card that’s easy with my tips! Free project sheet & video tutorial

July 14, 2025

You're going to love this neat fun fold card I'm sharing today.

It doesn't look like much of a fun fold card does it? Look a bit closer to the right pink flap on this card; see how it's sticking up a bit at the bottom? That's where it opens.

I featured the Sentimental Framing stamp set seen here on the pretty greeting here.

Save

The layered circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the 2 3/8" circle punch. The leaf die-cut is from the Gallery Blooms dies. My colors include Bubble Bath with Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss.

Here's how it opens. The horizontal strip holds the right side of the card base closed with a type of 'latch'.

I hope you watch the video below to see how easy this fold is.

3 Stamping Tips you need to know!

July 11, 2025
I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.
- how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
- standard card sizes and layers
- which ink to use when coloring with markers
First up is the ruler and card measurements. Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

Save

I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out.

~~~

Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images. It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color.

Save

I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:
- Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.
~~~

Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers. It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:
1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.
2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks.
3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp.

*I hope one or more of these tips help you. Let me know which one or two you learned from today.
