Holiday Decorating with Scor-Pal

Hello there, everyone!

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

I created a fun fold home decor item this month.

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

Here's what I made:

This was created using strips of cardstock, scored at 1/2". The ends overlap to create a circular piece, which makes the rosettes. As you can see in the next photo, there are some punched circles to act as spacers between each layer. Layer dimension included at bottom of post.

Layers:

Note: I scored my sheets of 12 x 12 before cutting into strips!

3 strips of 12" x 4"

3 strips of 12" x 3.75"

3 strips of 12" x 3.5"

3 strips of 12" x 3.25"

3 strips of 12" x 3"

2 strips of 12" x 2.75"

2 strips of 12" x 2.5"

2 strips of 12" x 2.25"

2 strips of 12" x 2"

2 strips of 12" x 1.75"

2 strips of 12" x 1.5"

1 strip of 22" x 1.25" (Join a 12" and 10" strip together)

1 strip of 18" x 1" (Join a 12" and 6" strip together)

1 strip of 12" x 3/4"

We 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! 

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

Scor-Pal - Harvest or Fall Creation

Hello there, everyone!

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

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

I created these easy Merci candy holders for a group of ladies at church. They seemed delighted with them - who among us can resist chocolate?

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

Here's what I made:

These were pretty simple - the strip of cardstock is cut to 2" x 9.5"

Score this at 3.25", 3.75", 7", and 7.5".

As shown in the photo, on the longest section, punch a hole for the candy to go through, and put a strip of scor-tape at the top edge. Fold it up and adhere it down. Ta-da! Decorate front as desired!  Mine was simply decorated in fall colors. The stamp on the inside says 'Bless You'.

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

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!

Scor-Pal Challenge - Stylish Storage

Hello, everyone!

August is already upon us, and soon the kids will be going back to school - egads! Time sure flies when you are having fun!

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

The monthly challenge at Scor-Pal, is Stylish Storage (pen holder, utensil carrier, etc), and Katie Tate is our challenge hostess. Of course, our projects must include more than one fold.

I created a fun collection of boxes within a box, and I hope you like it as much as I do! I am amazed at how much I can get into this organizational system. 

For my project, I used: Scor-Pal Eighths, Scor-Tape 1.2", and Scor-Tape 1/4".

Here is the box...

Another view...

One more view...

Here's where they are all individual boxes! Pretty cool, right?

Crazy fun, right? Now...I wish I could take full credit for this amazing design, but I can't. Sam Hammond (Pootles) designed this, and you can watch her instructional video HERE.

We hope to see your creations this month our 'More Than One Fold', Scor-Pal challenge!

Warmer Days and More than one fold with Scor-Pal

Happy June, everyone!

I've just returned from a cruise to Alaska and Canada. If this post doesn't make sense, it's because my brain is tired!  This is my second post today. If you are looking for my 2 Crafty Critter Crazies post, just scroll up!

The monthly challenge at Scor-Pal, is Warmer Days (think summer, warm colors, etc), and of course, more than one fold.

I'm getting quite a collection of 6 x 6 papers, and thought I'd experiment on trying to organize them a bit. I found several instructions on Pinterest, and sort of combined them to come up with one that I liked.

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

Here is the box...

We hope to see your creations with texture in our 'More Than One Fold', Scor-Pal challenge!

A few more never seen items...

Happy Saturday!

Here are a few more items that have never seen blogland!

Give me a shout if you have questions, otherwise, enjoy!

First, this is a rack that my BFF Shirley's hubby built to hold my wooden stamps (well half of them, anyway)!  I love having them where I can see them, but use wooden stamps so seldom anymore. The rack is fabulous, and Wayne did a wonderful job.

Another effort using Yupo Paper, Alcohol Inks, and Alcohol Lift-Off Ink Pad

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Scor-Pal Mid-Month Tutorial

Hi there, crafty friends!

I'm here today with a photo tutorial for these crazy fun, super tiny little gift bags.

When finished, they stand 1 7/8" tall, and are 1.25" square, and hold 2 Hugs or Kisses.

I cannot take credit for the design, but I'm sorry to say that I don't recall whose design it was!

Here are the supplies you will need:

Scor-Pal (I used Scor-Pal Eighths), Scor-Tape, (I used 3/8" tape) Scissors, Hole Punch, Twine

and...patterned paper.

You can use cardstock, but these bags are so tiny that paper actually works best.

                      

Cut your paper to 5.5" x 3"

Score the long side at: 1.25", 2.5", 3.75", and 5"

Score the short side at: 1"

Remove the small section at the bottom, and trim your tab at a bit of an angle.

Cut on each of your fold lines, cutting only up to the 1" fold line.

Mitre the back and two side tabs in a bit, but leave the tab on the front as is.

Add your Scor-Tape to your little flap, and create your box!

Ta-Da!

 Here's what your box looks like. Now you can see the three angled tabs better.

Add Scor-Tape to your 'front' box flap.

Fold in the three angled tabs, and secure them with the 'front' tab.

Add two Hershey's Hugs or Kisses (or another tiny candy)

After your goodies are inside, gently pinch in your two sides.

Holding tightly, punch two holes for your ribbon or twine.

Add twine and/or decorate as desired!

 Here are the finished bags - perfect for carrying in your purse to give friends, postal workers, etc.

 Easter and/or spring...

For your Valentine...

St. Patrick's Day...

The possibilities are endless!

Give them a try, and have fun!!!

May Flowers...

Hi ya'll!

It's finally beginning to feel a little spring-ish here in Missouri.

Perfect timing for the May challenge on the Scor-Pal blog - 'May Flowers'. So, the challenge is to create something with more than one fold, and some form of May Flowers.  

My project today is a little gift that I gave each class participant at last Saturday's workshop.

If you've never made one of the little triangle treat holders, it is the easiest EVER! Lots of fun scoring, and only a little taping! The other little box was equally easy and fun!

If you check back here on the 15th, I'll show you how to make these!

For this project, I used my Scor-Pal Eighths, 1/8" Scor-Tape, & 1/2" Scor-Tape.

Thanks for looking! Hope to see your creations in our monthly Scor-Pal challenge!
