Single, Double Column, Surprise Pop Up and Square Triple Pillar Cards With New Crealies Dies

I am loving all the new butterfly dies in the August release at Crealies, but the die set I had the most fun with (and featured in my new video here.) was appropriately called A Lot of Pillar Cardz. My title lists all the cards I am posting today from the new video. This card also features the gorgeous Varia layered Swallowtail Butterfly die set.

This is the square triple easel I show how to make step by step in the new video. Another of the new dies in the August release is the Beth Frame Diamond Inlay Set which reminds me of a quilt when layered up like this.

How about a double column pillar card? All of these cards are so easy to make with the A Lot Of Pillar Cards die set, and I used more dies and stencils from Crealies to decorate this card. Each of these pillar cards stand up for display and lay flat to mail. My last card is for a coffee lover and has a fun pop up surprise inside the card:

I used the double pillar to hold a Starbucks gift card and two candles for the birthday girl. (I was inspired by a card by Sam of Mixed Up Crafts to add the candles this way.) I added a layered Happy Birthday die and an Oval with Wonky Stitched Lines to write my message on. 

I had great fun creating cards with the new A Lot of Pillar Cards die set as well as the others from Crealies for my new video, and hope my cards inspire you to give some of the ideas and products a try.
