Scor-Pal and Viva Las VegaStamps! with Lori Williams

 We have a fun week of inspiration to share with you today from Scor-Pal and Viva Las VegaStamps! Be sure to leave comments on our blogs this week to be in the running for great prizes.  VLVS will be giving away a couple of pounds of rubber stamps, and we will be giving away a Scor-Pal and a Scor-Envi.  The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win!  

Scor-Pals are great for making boxes and dimensional cards, but do you think about it for decorating your card stock?  Today I would love to share with you how simple it is to make custom patterned card stock. 

Use your Scor-Pal to score the pattern you would like on your card stock.  I've used Core'dinations paper just so it will really show but you can use any card stock you like.  

Sand all of your raised score lines to accent the pattern

I've topped off my card with an adorable stamp from Viva Las Vegas, Plate #1432.  I love Roosters so this was the perfect stamp set for me.  

Scor-pal and Clearsnap with Lori Williams

Hi Everyone, Lori here with you today.  I've seen cupcakes created for quite some time and I finally broke down and made one for myself, and must say I love it.  The tutorial for the cupcake was inspired from Miranda Edney's . 

You'll need your Scor-Pal for the base of the cupcake and 2 strips of designer paper 2 inches x 9 inches.  Score each of the strips every 1/4 inch and accordion fold.  Attach your two strips to make a circle and you have your base for the cupcake.  You can cover this over a cup for more support if you  need or want.  

For my flowers I used Cheery Lynn's daisy die and colored the base of the flowers with Clear Snaps Donna Salzars Mixed Media Chiffon Ink , leaving the very tips white.  

With a sponge dauber I colored the center of the petals with Donna Salzar's Berry Ink.  Once the flowers are glued together with the layers on each color the tips of the flowers with the Berry Ink too.  

The cupcake is completed by adding leaves and the flowers to the half of a Styrofoam ball with push pins and adding pearls to the center of each flower.  

May Arts and Scor-Pal with Lori Williams

Today I'm sharing a great box with you that I created for Cheery Lynn and the Scor-Pal / May Arts Ribbon hop.  I love the way the ribbon coordinates with the poppies and the paper collection, it's just perfect.  

Here is a tutorial for the box so you can make one for yourself. 

Step 1: Cut two 9 inch card stock squares, cut one 5 1/8" square card stock. Cut four 2 7/8" square designer paper, cut 8 2 3/4 square designer papers for interior.  I used KaiserCraft's Remember Me Collection.  

Step 2: Score one of your 9 inch squares at 3" and 6 ", turn your paper 90 degrees and score again at 3 " and 9". This will create a grid. You'll want to do this on both of your 9 inch card stock squares using your Scor-Pal. 

Step 3: Score each of your corner squares diagonally and fold. Fold inward as this is going to help create your box. TIP: I find using the 6" mark on my Scor-pal makes this easy as there is a marking at the bottom of your Scor-pal that will help ensure you have it lined up correctly. 

Step 4: Using your Scor-Pal tape apply your outside squares ( 2 7/8" ) to the base box.

Step 5: Cut four of your 2 3/4 squares in half and tape to inside of your explosion box along the ridges.

Step 6: On your second 9 inch square cardstock cut the outer corner squares off as shown above. Fold and crease.

Step 7: Tape your remaining square card stock pieces to the just cut cross/9 inch piece. You can also decorate the base center with designer card too.

Step 8: Score your 5 1/8" square at 1 inch on all sides. Cut a slit in where all the black marks are shown above. Fold and crease.

Step 9: Tape your flaps to the inside of the box top creating your top. Now the really fun part decorate as desired.

I created the lovely poppies using my Cheery Lynn Dies.  Here is a complete list of dies used on this box.

Scor-Pal and Heartfelt Creations With Lori Williams

Hi everyone, Lori here with you today.  Heartfelt and Scor-Pal have joined forces this week and WOW have there been some beautiful projects.  Today I'd like to share this treat box with you and show you how you can make your own in no time at all.

Step 1: Cut your paper 8 1/2 x 11.  Line your paper on the Scor-Pal with the 11inches on the side as shown in the picture above.  Score on the 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and the 10 inch marks.

Step 2: Rotate your paper and score on the 2 1/2 line.

Step 3: Cut slits in the bottom portion up to the scored line and then cut wedges out of the flaps on three out of the four.  Be sure you leave one a solid square for the very bottom to be solid.

Step 4: Use your scor-tape and adhere to the flaps to create your box.

Step 5: Once you have your box taped together you can use your Crop-A-Dile to punch two holes on opposite sides.  This will be where you can run ribbon through to hold your box top in place.

Step 6 : Cut a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 square and score each side at 1 inch.

Step 7: Cut slits in each corner as shown above.  Use more Scor-Tape on your corners to form your top for the box.  Then decorate as desired.

Here are all the products from Heartfelt Creations I was lucky enough to get to use on this box.

Scor-Pal and Paper Smooches With Lori Williams

Happy Friday everyone,  I hope you have been enjoying our week long hop sponsored by Scor-pal and  Paper Smooches  and our talented design teams.  Remember  to stop by everyone's blog to see what they've been up to.  Scor-Pal will be giving away 3 prizes packages - each one includes a Paper Smooches stamp that we've shown this week as well as Scor-tape. Leave comments on our posts this week for your chance to win!   I'm thrilled to be able to share my project with you today highlighting a short and simple tutorial to make any project pop, decorate rosettes. 

Rosettes are so simple to create but you really can take them to the next level with decorative punches or dies.  

Step 1. Cut two  12 x 2" inch strip of decorative paper.  I've cut mine with a decorative border die, but you could also use a punch.  Using your Scor-Pal, score the entire strip every 1/2, do the same on the second strip.

  Step 2: Fold and crease all your folds with the Scor-Tool to create crisp edges. 

Step 3: Once you have both strips folded, apply Scor-Pal tape to the end of one of you pieces and join to the other.  This will make a long strip as shown in the picture above. 

Step 4: Tape your ends together to form a  circle. Punch out a circle from scrap card stock and cover with Scor-Tape.  

Step 5: Push down on your circle on top of the tape scrap circle and you'll form a beautiful rosette like the one above ready to add to and enhance your projects. 

I topped mine off with an adorable piece cut stamped image from the " Retail Therapy" stamp set by Paper Smooches.  Now remember to visit all the designers blogs from the Scor-Pal design team and the Paper Smooches Team and have fun.
