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!

Awesome Dance with Me fun fold card

January 22, 2025
Look at this gorgeous fun fold card Karen made for our Sale-a-Bration Team swap this month!

Save

She used the Dance with Me stamp set and the Floral Delight designer paper. I love the spotlight technique she did too! You can see an example of it in the SAB catalog here. This neat spotlight technique is done with masking paper and a blending brush. It's so easy!

This set is free through February with any $60 purchase.

Her colors include Pool Party, White & Daffodil Delight. She used the Stylish Shapes dies to create her window fun fold effect. The greeting is from the Day to Celebrate stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

Save

I plan to create this fun fold next month but in the meantime here are her measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- White inside 8" X 5 " scored at 2", 3 1/2" & 5 1/2"
- DSP front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside 1 1/4" X 4 3/4"
- large circle die-cut is 3", white for the dancing couple is 2 1/2"

I love this card! Thanks for doing an awesome job Karen!

Opt in for my Card stock shares

January 21, 2025

I have cardstock share's happening this month. We used to have these in the mini catalogs but they stopped offering them so I now offer them to my customers on occasion.

Save

Here's how it works. Instead of getting 24 sheets of 1 color in a package (like the catalog offers), I provide 6 sheets each of 4 different colors. It's a great way to get a nice sampling of our card stock.

These colors coordinate with the new Designer Papers in the Spring catalog.

1. Wildflower Birthday – 6 sheets each of Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam

2. Floral Delight – 6 sheets each of Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly & Old Olive

3. Beautiful Bokeh – 6 sheets each of Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral

4. Friends of the Ocean – 6 sheets each of Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash, Melon Mambo & Lemon Lime Twist

5. Storybook Moments – 6 sheets each of Mossy Meadow, Boho Blue, Basic Beige & Pebbled Path

6. Timeless Plaid – 6 sheets each of Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Calypso Coral & Wild Wheat

*If you'd like any of these let me know. I'll figure postage once you tell me how many shares you'd like and provide your zip code as well. Email me here for a quote.

These shares will be offered for just a few weeks; so contact me soon.
