Today I get to share my project with the fabulous Scor-Pal and Viva Las Vegas Stamps
I loved the stamps I chose and right away had an idea for a cute way to use them.
Project Recipe:
Stamps - Plate 1116
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Mementa
Die Cuts - Spellbinders
Brads - Unknown
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Mat - Scor-Mat
Adhesive - Scor-Tape
For each drawer start with a piece of cardstock measuring 8 1/2" by 7". Score at 1" and 2", turn a 1/4 turn and repeat and repeat until all 4 sides are scored as in the photo.
Cut away the 3 squares on each corner as shown in the photo. Snip the remaining square to the score line to form a flap so you can create the corner.
A big tip is to cut the flap to make an angle as shown in the photo to make the corner easier to form and to make a crisper corner.
Add Scor-Tape as shown to the inside sides.
Turn over and add Scor-Tape to the flaps on the outside.
Form the drawer on the scored lines and use the Scor-Tool to create crisp edges from the inside out.
Each drawer is designed to fit the doll on the stamp plate.
To join the drawers a sleeve needs to made for each drawer. By creating each drawer individually means this project can be adapted to create as many drawers as you like. The sleeves are created from a piece of cardstock measuring 12" by 3". On the 12" side score at 2". 3" 7 1/2" and 8 1/2".
Check for a clean fit around the drawer and then create the sleeve using Scor-Tape to adhere. The drawer should fit snuggly in the sleeve. Add Scor-Tape on the outside to attach the drawers together.
The completed drawers before decoration.
Decorate the outside of the drawers with coordinating paper.
To create stability I made a top and base from a die cut piece with chipboard underneath it for strength. Attach to the top and bottom of the drawers with Scor-Tape.
I added a mirror backed with a decorative die to make the drawers into a pretty little girls dresser.
To make sure the mirror stayed in place I created a stand from chipboard covered in coordinating paper that was attached to the mirror and the dresser.
The drawers open to store the stamps, the paper dolls and clothes.
I stamped and colored 5 dolls and stamped and cut the clothes from coordinating paper. I plan on completely paper piecing the outfits at a later time.
This is a great project to give to any girl that loves fashion and needs something to do on an inside afternoon. The top drawer has room for a pair of scissors and a stamp pad so more dolls and clothes can be made when the fancy takes her.
I hope you liked this and make sure you looked at all the fabulous projects this week.

Today it's my turn to share my project from the great products at Scor-Pal and Clearsnap
I made a cute Birdhouse that can be used as a gift box.
Project Recipe:
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Mat - Scor-Mat
Adhesive - Scor-Tape
Paper - My Minds Eye
Fence Border Punch - Fiskars
Loop Border Punch - Martha Stewart
Flower Die - Ellentina
Frame Die - Nellies
Flourish Die - Elegant Scrollwork by Memorybox
Ink - Inx Chox
Paint - Smooch
Spray - Smooch Spritz
Embossing Powder - Mix'd Media Inx in Chiffon, Honey and Peridot
For the sides of the birdhouse you need to 2 pieces of card stock measuring 6" by 5"
The base is 4" square
The front and back are 4" by 6"
For the sides score and 1" and 5" along the 6" side and at 1" on the 5" side.
Snip the corner as in the photo to form the flap that will create the base of the side and add Scor-Tape to adhere
Form the sides as shown in the photo using your Scor-Tool to create tight, crisp corners.
Add the 4" square base to the two sides.
Create the front and back by cutting at an angle from a 2" point on each long side to the center point (2") on the short side as in the photo.
Using a nesting style die cut a window in the front panel and then nest two together to cut a frame to go around the window and attach using Scor-Tape
Ink all edges with the Mix'd Media Inx pad
Attach the front and back panels to the flaps on the side pieces to form the birdhouse.
When I created mine I added an additional base (5" by 4" scored at 1/2" and 4 1/2" along the 5" side) to the inside in the opposite direction of the original base to give more stability
The roof is made from a piece of coordinating card stock measuring 6" by 8". Score at 4" along the 8" side and at 1" and 5" along the 6" side. Burnish the score lines and snip at the 4" score line to the intersecting score as in the photo to create the angle to make the roof. Ink all edges if desired.
Adhere the corners with Scor-Tape and use your Scor-Tool on the inside corners to create crisp corners.
The roof sits perfectly on the birdhouse
To decorate the flower I created some embossed flowers from flower dies, clear embossing ink, the Mix'd Media Inx Embossing Powder in Chiffon and my heat gun.
You can see the great enamel look the embossing powder gives to the flower>
For added sparkle I added some Smooch Spritz to the flowers.
Using the same technique I then created an enamelled punched edge and also flourishes.
I also punched strips for the roof to resemble a tiled look.
I hope you enjoyed this, sorry for the photo overload but I didn't want you to miss anything :)
