SDC123: Fabulous Folds

Welcome back to our Wednesday challenge here at Stampotique.  We are thrilled that you are joining us again this week at Stampotique Designer's Challenge and we have a fun challenge for you.

Today we want to see you try your hand at some fabulous folds.  Use more than one fold on your card, get all fancy on us and use multiple folds.

Need some ideas?  Here's a board I pulled off pinterest with lots of fold ideas.  Do a google search and you'll see some magnificent ideas pop up.

SDC122: Fabric or Lace


France is our hostess this week and here is her challenge:

When stuck while making a project, it's often adding texture that gets me rolling again. But lace or fabric is often the last thing i think about when searching for texture. So I thought it would be fun to have all of you lovely peeps make art using fabric or lace. And all those fab creations would make one awesome inspiration board!

I loved this by Amanda, it really made me smile.

SDC121: Halloween

Carol is hosting our challenge this week and it's time to get out your spooky stamps:

"I particularly choose the month of October to host the challenge as I love Halloween. it was the quirky off beat stamps of Daniel Torrente that first drew me to Stampotique all those years ago, as it then seemed to me that I could make Halloween themed items all year with his gothic style stamps and no one would realize that was what I was doing. I think I may have broken the record on my make for the challenge with the most rubber stamps used on one item, but it was hard as there were just so many to choose from. Hope you all enjoy the challenge and get your spook on for the whole month. carol x"

Loving Laura's bold use of an entire zipper on her card! 

Can't stand how cute the polka dot belt is on Helen's colorful tag! 

Hooked on the hinges on Gail's humorous peek-a-boo hoo house!

Everyone really rocked this challenge!

SDC120: Handles, hinges, buckles, fasteners, pulls

Val is our hostess this week and she is challenging us to Handles, hinges, buckles, fasteners, pulls - different ways to flip, fold, fasten, open, close and grasp! These could be used on cards, dimensional projects, envelopes or altered/recycled/found objects.... faux or real - anything goes!

 Want to thank everyone who took time to submit for the design team call.  We loved all the creations and while picking the members to join us on the design team is never an easy decision, we are excited to share with you soon who we choose.

 If you were not chosen, it wasn't because we didn't like your work.  We look for a variety of designers who like to use a variety of stamps.  We also try to look for active bloggers who show their enthusiasm for Stampotique.  We encourage all to continue playing along with the challenges and posting your work to Facebook and we hope to see you apply for the team after the next term.

 Our announcement of the new team will not happen until later in the year.

SDC119: ATC's


Sam is our hostess this week and here's her challenge to us:

"I love making ATC's the 2.5 x 3.5 inch size is perfect for any media you wish to use and you can squeeze in lots of details and layers in a small space or keep it quite plain and simple. ATC's can be dramatic or just plain fun so I can't wait to see yours!"
