Flip 'N Fold

This month, Valerie challenges you to find interesting ways of incorporating folds into a project. For example, use an interesting new fold if you are creating a card, incorporate pieces or parts that flip up, down or open on your project, or put folded pieces of paper or fabric into your creation in some way. Lots of latitude on your interpretation of this one!

The design team has been flipping and folding all month to create some inspiration to get you started! Dig out your crafty tools and join the fun by linking up your project before the end of March. We will draw for the winner of a full sheet of beautiful Stampsmith Stamps valued at $21 to be announced on April 1. We can't wait to see your creations!
