We used the cute Make A Monster stamp set this month for my Project Classes  - making three cards. Two of them have fancy folds - the first being a Waterfall card. I'm not sure of the name of the second one, but it has an aperture inside :o)

We used the wonderful Polka Dot Parade DSP and I matched the colours used to the papers.
