Scor-Pal and Viva Las VegaStamps! Week with Toni Storie

 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! 

Hi, Toni here! It's my turn to share a Scor-Pal and Viva Las VegaStamps project. We will have a week long showing of some crafty goodness by both the Scor-Pal design team and the Viva Las Vegas creative team. I received some really fabulous stamp set with so many great images and sentiments.  I chose to show off this great image with a recessed window card.

For this project, you will need:

• Scor-Pal/Scor-Buddy
• Scor-Mat
• Scor-Tape
• Ruler
• Craft Knife
• Stamps
• Inks
• Embellishments
• 4 1/4" x 8 3/4" piece of card stock
• Two 4" x 4" pieces of card stock
• Two 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" pieces of card stock
• Two 3" x 3" pieces of card stock
• 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" piece of card stock

Place the 4 1/4" by 8 3/4" piece of card stock in your Scor-Pal.  The 8 3/4" piece will be against the top fence of the Scor-Pal.  Score at 4 1/4" and 4 1/2" marks.

Place a 3 1/4" by 3 1/4" piece of card stock where you want your recessed window.  Trace around the piece of card stock and remove it.

Place a 3" by 3" piece of card stock inside of the previously traced square.  Trace around the piece of card stock and remove it.

Insert your Scor-Mat in your Scor-Pal and place your card stock on top of it.  With a ruler and a craft knife make a cut from one corner to the opposite corner.  Repeat with the remaining two corners. 

Score on the traced lines on each of the four sides.  The traced lines are 1/8" apart, so the scoring was completed with a Scor-Buddy. 

Turn your card stock over and crease the outside scores away from the center of the square. 

Next, crease the inside scores toward the center of the square.  This creates a negative "X" shape and is the base of the recessed window.

Crease the scores made in the very first step to create the spine of the card.  The two scores make room for the recessed window and allow the card to lie flat.

With card open and recessed window on top, line the inside of the window with Scor-Tape. 

Remove backing from Scor-Tape and place a 3 1/4" by 3 1/4" piece of card stock into the recessed opening.

Stamp the Viva La Vegas Marilyn Monroe image in black and red on a 2 7/8" by 2 1/8" piece of card stock.  Overstamp the whole image with Versamark ink and emboss with clear embossing powder to create a sheen.  Mat the Marilyn image on a piece of 3" by 3" piece of card stock.  Adhere focal image into the recessed window.

Finish inside of card by covering the back of the recessed window with a 4" by 4" piece of card stock.  Cover the inside of the card with another 4" by 4" piece of card stock and stamp a Marilyn Monroe quote from the same Viva Las Vegas Stamps set. 

Finish the outside of the card with a rhinestone frame.

Here is a view from the side to better show the recessed window in which Marilyn is framed.

Thanks for joining me today!

  It's my turn today for the cross promotion on the Scor-Pal blog between Scor-Pal and SEI and I like to call mine a "case of the minitures!"
Be sure to check out the projects made by the SEL team too on the SEL blog
I loved the papers, so soft and girly and I knew a piece of home decor for my daughter would be a perfect fit.
We often think only of the Scor-Pal for full sized projects like boxes and cards but this time I used the Scor-Buddy as I was working with much smaller pieces of paper
This project shows lots of different techniques and embellishments that can be created with your Scor-Buddy



Project Recipe:
Tools - Scor-Pal, Scor-Buddy, Scor-Mat and Scor-Envi
Adhesive - Scor-Tape and Hot Glue
Stamps - Mini Tangle Tilda and Mini Princess Tilda with Ballet Shoes
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Diane by SEI
Wooden Memory Frame - The Paper Studio
Metal, Wood and Glass Accents - The Paper Studio
Twine - The Twinery
Sentiments - Heidi Grace and Making Memories
Flower Stickers - The Paper Studio
Beads - Unknown
Silk Flowers - Prima
Paper Flowers - Recollections
Buttons - Dress It Up
Letter Beads - Walmart
Butterfly Punch - Martha Stewart



Start by decorating the inside of the sections of the frame.



Punch a 12" strip of paper to make a ruffled rosette. Score between the scallops of the punched edge and on the 1/2 of the scallop and then fan fold a create your rosette.



First let me apologize for the "glue strings" in the photo. Using the same fan folding technique you can create a fan rather than a rosette and this one fits perfectly into the corner of this square frame.



Using the directions on the Scor-Envi create a mini envelope as an embellishment.



You can create simple standing frames by scoring across the card stock at 1/2" and burnishing.



Another reason to keep the Scor-Buddy on your desk when you are crafting is that often you need a quick straight fold like across the butterfly to make it's wings pop up.



Create a scored background and then use ink to highlight the score lines.



I made another rosette and added a stem and leaves this time.

The following photos are just close ups of the completed project.
