Now it’s your turn!

Scor-Pal Pinspired

Hi everyone!

I'm the Pinspired hostess this month on the Scor-Pal blog. I found a really cute box that holds three nugget candies, and thought it would be fun for Halloween treats.  Here is Gloria's post that 'Pinspired' me:  

I linked this photo to Gloria's post, so if you click on the photo, it will take you there.

Here are MY finished boxes:

These were pretty easy to do, and I hope that you give them a try! 

I used my Scor-Pal Eighths, 1/4" Scor-tape, and 1/2" Scor-tape for this project.

Here we go....

Cut cardstock to 5 1/4" x 6"

On the 6" side, score at 3/4", 1 1/2", 4 1/2", and 5 1/4".

On the 5 1/4" side, score at 3/4", 2 1/4", 3", and 4 1/2"

Following this diagram, cut out all of the pieces that are marked with an X.

Your cardstock now looks like this:

Round the top two corners, and burnish all fold lines

On this side, add Scor-tape to the two side flaps (only the outermost flap, as shown).

Flip your box over, and add Scor-tape to the four tabs*.

Peel and remove protective piect from your tabs, fold them inwards, and bring your side flaps up.

Now, remove the protective cover from your side flaps and press them firmly to the inside of the box.

Your box flap should fold in and stay closed nice and firmly.

Here is the finished box.

*The one thing that I did on my finished boxes, was the punch a small 1/2 circle from the front edge of the box, to make a place for your thumb to lift the box flap.  You definitely want to do this prior to adhering your box together!  Here is a close up photo, so you can see the little half circle.

We hope you will give this a try!

That's it!  I made all of these boxes in one evening, and you can too!

Thanks to Gloria for some great 'Pinspiration'!

I hope you'll give this box a try. Don't forget, you still have time to enter the Monthly challenge at Scor-Pal!

Tic Tac Toe at the House that Stamps Built

Hi everyone - Happy Wednesday!

I'm back with a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for Repeat Impressions.

Here is the inspiration board that Wendy gave us to work with:

  

I used Winged Things, Square Card, and Embossing (heat AND dry!)

Today, I used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

8604 E Feel Better Soon

4405 K Dragonfly Deco

102 F Dragonfly

Here's what I made:

Base layer = 5" x 10", scored at 5"

White panels are 3.25" square and 2.5" square

DSP = 3" square

For each mat, I just added 1/8" on each side.

The front two focal panels are popped up, and the bottom panel is glued to the card base.

Easy peasy - give it a try!

Now it’s your turn! Create a card using the Tic-Tac-Toe board above, and link it up at The House that Stamps Built. Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them! Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!

Pick of the Week - Another Fun Folded Card

Hello there!

It's my day to share a Pick of the Week at The House that Stamps Built. The Repeat Impressions Stamps that I picked to showcase are:

3104 F Happy Everything
917 I Rose Window

Here is my card...but it's not a regular card...

Opening the first flap...

Opening the second flap...

This is looking at the entire inside of the card. 

My message will be written on the peachy colored 'solid' pages.

And here is a shot looking at the entire card from the back side.

You will first need to create and mat your focal panel, for the front of your card. My panel at the outside edge of the large green mat measures 4.5" x 3 5/8". As long as your panel is smaller than the first fold on the left you are okay.

You will need a piece of two sided paper that measures 5 1/2" x 12".

Score on the long side at: 1.75", 4.75" and 7.75 inch, and fold as shown above!

On the back panel, most folks put a white piece of cardstock, measuring 4" x 5.25" - I chose to carry through with the beautiful floral and use the more solid DP for my message.

That's all there is to it! What fun!

I 'cased' this from Klompen Stampers, and she has a video tutorial HERE...thanks to Jackie for sharing this fun design!

Hope you will give this a try - it really is easy, makes such a fun card, and is a great way to showcase all of that double sided yummy paper that we tend to save ration hoard!!!

For this week only (Sept. 2 - 8, 2019), get 20% Off the stamps used in Patti’s creation above when you use the coupon code POTW9219

Thanks for stopping by today!

Scor-Pal Challenge - Back to School

Hello there, everyone!

This is my second post today. If you are looking for my 2 Crafty Critter Crazies post, just scroll up!

It's time for a new monthly challenge at Scor-Pal, and the theme is Back to School, and of course, more than one fold.

I created a fun back to school set, and am eager to show it to you. So, here we go!

I used a fun digi stamp, School Girl Sally, from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for my card front - isn't this little student the sweetest? Since our oldest grandchild starts Kindergarten this year, it was fitting that she get this card!

For my project, I used: Scor-Pal Eighths, and Scor-Tape 1/4".

Here is the set...

Here we have the card, and three sweet little post-it holders for the mini post it pads. I just measured the width and length of the post it pads, added a bit for a decorative punch, and voila! I think they ended up being 2" x 5", scoring on the 5" side at 1.25", 1 5/8", 3.25", and 3 5/8".

The wraps are open in this photo so you can see the post-it pads

You can see how the card opens at the bottom, with a cute magnet to hold the flap closed...

and then at the top, so you have a place to write your own note!

We hope to see your creations for Back to School in our 'More Than One Fold', Scor-Pal challenge!

We also have a ton of inspiration in the Projects section of the Scor-Pal website and also on our Pinterest Board to help you get creative! 

Happy Scoring!
