It's been another busy work week for me and I also had my 6 year old niece and 9 year old nephew to stay for a few days - I have no idea how my sister copes with the boundless energy of her children. I'm exhausted, and crafting and commenting took a bit of a back seat for me. This doesn't seem to have been the case for my teamies who have come up with some fabulous creations for our challenge this week at
Stamptacular SundayChallenge
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.
If you are interested, all the details are on our site
here.
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
Doodle Pantry - who just want us to "use a Doodle Pantry image"
Stamp Something - "Dog Days of Summer"
One Stop - "At the Beach"
Just Magnolia & Hanglar - "Holiday Fun"
