Fancy Fold Blog Hop with Imagine That Digistamp

ITD's Creative Playground

Hello Folks!!  Today we are doing something a wee bit different over on the Imagine That Digistamp blog. Normally on this day every week we have a special Thursday Inspiration post. This week however, we would like to invite you to join in a special blog hop for some "Fancy Fold" inspiration using items from Imagine That Digistamp!   

Welcome to my stop on the Hop! If you've come from Kristy's personal blog then you are right on track. If you are just starting out, you can find the full hop list at the bottom of this post.

We hope you will be inspired to try some of these card folds, treat boxes or other 3D projects you will see along the way. Creating something a little bit different is perfect timing with Christmas right around the corner!

I made an anniversary card for my parents who just celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary last Friday (Nov. 10th), adopting a simple gate fold. I used an image from the Love Swans digi set. You can click HERE or on the preview below, to find it in the store.

Blog Hop: Summer Fun with TLC Creations


Hello everyone! It is officially summer in the northern hemisphere. During the hot summer months there is nothing better than dipping ones' toes in the water. I've been fortunate enough to dip my toes in the actual ocean a few times. However, it hasn't happened often since I live in the middle of the country, thousands of kilometres from the nearest coast. Now, even if I can't get to the ocean I can still dream of it and the fun of summer and today's blog hop will help. It will also help you to build up your TLC collection as well!

Many of us on the Create with TLC Design Team will be hosting a spot during the blog hop. All of us will share a creation that we have made using at least one if not more of Paulette's elements and just YOUR luck, the image that we all use will be available for free download on each blog hop stop along the way! You'll also be able to pick up a free word art creation at Paulette's blog.

You should have arrived here from the talented Ileana's blog. If you are just starting, you can find a full list of all the hop stops at the bottom of this post.

For my card, I got to use the Trio at the Beach image you see below; so, be sure to head on over to Paulette's BLOG and leave her some love if you grab it!
