where we want to see your "Fancy Folds!". Do visit the site and check out the inspiration.
We want you to create a card or project that is folded in some non-traditional way - not just down the left side or top side of the card. Be creative! More than one fold would be great! In fact, for every fold your card has - your name will be put into this week's draw for our fabulous prizes from The Stamping Boutique (5 digis) and The Doodle Pantry ($10 gift certificate) that many times so please tell us how many folds there are when you post your card. Oh - and don't forget to stamp. After all, we don’t call this STAMPtacular for nothing!
I took the opportunity to make a retirement card for my hubby who retires from work at the end of the month! I used a cute little crab image from The Doodle Pantry for embellishment, together with a Martha Stewart punched anchor and some seashells and a real starfish alongside Magnolia's Edwin for my main image and made my first step folded card with my first cross over card (in miniature) attached in which to hold a Go Kreate die cut tag. I'm so glad I used the deck chair on my tag (which is possibly by Jolee's Boutique) as it means my card can be used to enter summer and holiday challenges. My papers are all K&Co. I've used an EK Success swirly punch to add some waves and I've coloured in Copics and Promarkers. The sentiments are Word processed. If you click on the photo it is a lot less blurry and you can read on the front of the card it has "No more crabby days" and on the tag it reads "Just relaxing ones".
I do hope we see you this week at Stamptacular where the exciting news this week is that
we have a DT call
and are looking for new talent to join our team.

One fantastic fold card! Love all the little elements that are popping up! Thanks for playing along and joining us at Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge 15! Your complimentary image is being emailed today.
This is evidence that this man is truly loved. Wow the work and thought that went into this creation is definitely True Love. Gorgeous, Lesley. Hope you both use that beach chair this winter! Hugs
I know what you mean with kids and their energy, believe me, a 4 and a 6 year old aren't any easier! Although to be fair you do get used to it and can cope ;-)
Loving the card! HAven't seen an Edwin in ages and yours is just great and those crabs are cuteeeeeeeee!
Looks like a complicated card to make and I am as always in awe of your imagination!
Love, alex
