July Scor-Pal Challenge

Posted on by

Happy July everyone!  Today we start a new challenge over at the Scor-Pal Blog – this one is a patriotic challenge.

Each month we will have a different theme and you will have a month to create and enter your projects. As well as the theme you will need to make “More Than One Score” and tell us where you used the Scor-Pal on your project. So a single fold card won’t count but an Easel, Gatefold, Stair Step, etc will.   Also we love to see your “Anything But a Card” projects, just as long as you make “More Than One Score”
We have a ton of inspiration on our Projects on the Scor-Pal website and also on our Pinterest Board to get you eager to enter.

You can find the Scor-Pal here and Scor-tape here.

For this month I made some candy cracker boxes:

I started with a piece of patterned paper measuring 7.5 x 8.  On the short side score at 1.75, 3.5, 5.25 and 7.

On the long side score at 1.00, 2.00. 6.00 and 7.00.

Fold and burnish all score lines.  Attach scor-tape to the half inch section and create the box.

Then on each fold at the 1″ score on each end, cut a little notch – a little less then half an inch.

Do that for each fold and on each end and your box will look like this.

Add ribbon or strings to tie the ends. Embellish as you want.  I found some free printable patriotic cupcake toppers for mine.

For the patterned paper, I was able to find some free patriotic digital paper here from The Cottage Market.

I hope you will check out the Scor-Pal blog and what the other designers have made.  Thanks for stopping by!

Veteran’s Day – free download!

Hello crafters!  I’d like to wish all the veterans an early Happy Veteran’s Day!  A big thank you to those who have served and to those who are serving.  My husband is a 21 year Navy Veteran and I am very grateful to him.

This is the card I will give him on Monday.

The background was created using a FREE digital download at winterandsparrow.com – you can find it here.

I printed it out and matted it on red cardstock with a blue base card.  The sentiment is from and old stamp set I had.  Just stamped it in blue and added it to the front with a tag banner die.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Scor-Pal Challenge – Patriotic!

Hello crafty friends!  I am back once again to kick off this months Scor-Pal challenge.  Each month Scor-Pal hosts a “more than one score” challenge with a theme.  This months theme is patriotic.  Just make a card or other item with more than one score with a patriotic flare.  You can find all the details on the scor-pal blog here.

For this challenge I made triangle treat boxes.

The box is easy to do and can be changed for any occasion just by switching out papers.  Here are the instructions:

You will need a scor-pal, scor-tape, paper, twine/ribbon, ruler and whatever embellishment works for your occasion.

You can get the Scor-Pal here and Scor-Tape here.

Paper size:  8.5 x 4

On the short side score at 1.5 and 3.5.  On the long side score at 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Next you will make two “short” scores.  On the long side score at 3 and 7, but only go down to the horizontal score.

Now you will make a few diagonal scores.  Take the cardstock out of the scor-pal and with a ruler line up the “short” scores with the corner – see photo.  These diagonal scores will allow you to make the triangular shape.

Fold and burnish on the score lines and cut as shown below.

Use scor-tape to put the box together.  Punch holes at the top and thread ribbon or twine.

The stars were made using a silhouette cut file and cardstock. I just cut a bunch of different sizes and attached them with foam tape.

A note about the patterned paper used for this project.  I did not have any patriotic paper and went looking on the internet for some.  I found these patterns as part of a FREE digital patriotic paper pack from The Cottage Market.  You can find this free paper pack here.

Halloween Treat Envelope

Hello crafters!  How is your September going?  All the stores are filled with things Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and I thougth I would make a quick and easy Halloween treat envelope..

 

I used the WRMK 123 Punch board, but you can use any envelope punch board.

Here is a quick video on how I put it together

I made the envelope then added a few tags  to it.

The stamps are from an old Flourishes set.  I did not have any Halloween paper and my trips to Michael’s, JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby proved to be fruitless, so I went online and found some free (!!!!) Halloween paper.  It is from Shery K Designs and she offered a bunch of free stuff on her store.  Here is a link to the Halloween paper pack:
