An Pillar fun fold card with Amber Autumn; with video & project tutorial

I love this fun fold card! So easy yet unique as well.

Save

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:

• Impressions Abloom In Color card with free project sheet & video

  May 26, 2025

  I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.  We made it at my card clubs in May.

  It features two of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling.  The card base is Summer Splash.  I think these colors are fabulous together. 

  The Strawberry Slush layer was embossed with the new Pressed Flowers embossing folder.  It's part of this suite and can be seen here.

  I popped up the stamped oval and adhered the stitched frame flat. I added our new 2025-27 In Color flat pearls. They're awesome and can be found here.  They come in the previous In Colors as well. 

  The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies.  I'll be sharing a few cards made with it this week to convince you how great it is.

  This stamp set is both a 2-step set and distinktive which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  

  Look at the Summer Splash flowers on each card. They're different. The card on the left was done by not matching up the flower images. It gives the look of a fuller flower compared to the card on the right.  Lots of options!

• Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle

  May 23, 2025

  I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK.

  She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder.  What a fun card!  The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below. 

  This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

  This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip.  The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.

  The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes!  At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.
