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!

Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

Save

The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion. I love how she used them as the focal point of her card. She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers. She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer.

She added even more dies to the inside!

Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.

She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects.

Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here. Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge. Genius!

The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here. And even her gems are from this suite!

Here's the inside view.

Measurements:

It's a 2-step stamp set and has 3 sets of flowers and a set of leaves in images. I love the greetings and the dies especially. These pretty ovals are perfect! See the Impressions Abloom bundle here.

The new 2025-27 in colors are Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush, Secret Sea and Timid Tiger. The greetings are inked in Secret Sea ink, stamped off once first. Same with the flower centers. I used Lemon Lime Twist CS for my leaf die-cuts. The embossing folders are Soft Waves 3D and Dotted Circles 3D.

These are my two favorites; Strawberry Slush & Secret Sea.
