The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)

The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:

The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.

Stunning Amber Autumn card with free project sheet

November 4, 2025

This is the card we made at my October card clubs:

Save

Isn’t it beautiful? I got the idea from Akemi Geary from Everyday Stamping. I didn’t change much because I loved it that much.
It features the Amber Autumn bundle seen here. That beautiful, detailed background die creates the gorgeous backdrop for the pretty colored images and you can also get multiple leaf die-cuts from it by clipping them apart.

Save

We colored them with Blends markers and added a few die-cut leaves from the Earthen toned Metallic paper seen here. A thin strip of Autumn Toile DSP, the Irregular ribbon & gems finished it off beautifully.

Save

I kept the inside quite simple by stamping a greeting from the Gathering Moments stamp set and adding the acorn & leaves image without coloring it.

I created a free project sheet for you with photo, measurements and products used. Click here to download or print it.

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.

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?

Save

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:

Save

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.

Save

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!
