NEW SCOR-PAL EIGHTHS!! - ATC Box Card by Diane Zechman

A few weeks ago I participated in an ATC swap (artist trading card) and made 2 different ATC's with fancy cuts and folds. My Scor-Pal and Scor-Tape, which I couldn't do without, came in very handy! (Have you seen the new Scor-Pal Eighths? Check out the pics below!)
You can PREORDER IT HERE

Here's my first ATC from this swap...be sure to check back for the other one.

Witch way to the candy?


When the box folds flat, it measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", ATC size. Note: This is an adaptation of the Pop Up Box card.

For the ATC box card base you will need 2 pieces of cardstock: one piece measuring 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and one 3/4" x 2 1/2" strip. *To easily cut these without waste, start with a quarter sheet of cardstock- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Cut this down to 3 1/2 x 5 1/2. Then cut the remaining strip to the 3/4 x 2 1/2 size needed.

Using your Scor-Pal, score the long side of the 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece @ 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 3 3/4, and 5". Turn it counter-clockwise 1/4 turn and score again @ 1 1/4". Crease the folds and cut the top flaps down to the 1 1/4" scored line as shown below. Remove the top section of the 1/2" flap, angling the cut as shown.



Add Scor-Tape to the remaining 1/2" flap, fold and adhere box.

Next score each end of the small strip @ 5/8". (Or score @ 5/8" and 1 7/8")



Crease the folds and adhere each flap inside the top of the box card. This piece is what you will adhere your images, etc. to. See the finished box for placement...



The patterned paper layers to finish the ATC card will be the following sizes... 1" square, 1 x 2, and 1 x 3 1/4 (for the inside of the back).

Back to School Tutorials with Scor-Pal with Katie Tate

Katie from Both Sides of The Paper and it's my turn to share a tutorial for "Back to School" week at Scor-Pal!
I decided to go with a backpack style gift bag, perfect for a little gift for your favorite teacher to start their year off right.

Project Recipe:
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Adhesive - Scor-Tape
Paper - The Grade School Stack by DCWV
Ribbon - Really Reasonable Ribbon

The backpack starts with cardstock 12" by 8". On the 12" side score at 5" and 7". Rotate to the 8" side and score at 1", 2", 6" and 7"

Burnish all score lines and snip on the flaps as in the photo

Score on the center of the flaps and bend inwards as in the photo.

Remove one flap from the each side (opposite sides) on the long side as they make the sides too stiff to fold. Add Scor-Tape to the flaps as shown.

Remove the cover on the Scor-Tape and adhere the sides to form the gift bag.

To make the flap use a piece of cardstock 5" by 4", score at 1" and 3" on the 5" side. (I will admit I would make this a little shorter next time but wanted to show exactly how this one was made). I would have scored at 1" and 2" and made the length 3" not 4". Angle the corners as shown in the photo.

The straps are made from 6" by 1" scored at 1/2" and 5 1/2"

Add Scor-Tape to the 1/2" flaps

Add the straps and then decorate to your style.

I made 2 slits in the flap and the backpack and threaded ribbon through to form a closure.
I hope you enjoyed this and have enjoyed all the projects this week, if you have missed any please go and check them all out.

Back to School Tutorials with Scor-Pal with Steph Ackerman

Hi everyone Steph Ackerman here with a fun project I think any girl would love to use for school.   Add a post it note pad inside with a pen or pencil and note taking is now a breeze.

Using a template I created, I cut the cardstock and the coordinating pattern paper.
Score 3 lines in the center of the cardstock and then mountain/valley fold.

Cut the pattern paper into 2 pieces.
Fussy cut the pattern paper so it is slightly smaller than the cardstock.
Adhere it to the cardstock.

Create the handles from a 12" x 1 3/4" piece of cardstock.
Score the length and fold in half.
Add Scor tape down the center and adhere together.

Add Scor tape along the back edge and add the handles to the purse. 
Create a front panel and adhere it to the inside back on top of the handles. 

Add pattern paper inside to cover the added panel.
Punch along the bottom edge for some visual interest.

Add a button to the flap and you are done.  Just adhere the post it note stack inside.

And another view.

I'm thinking this would be a fun gift for a teacher - I think she'd love it, don't you?

Thanks for stopping by today.

Back to School Tutorials with Scor-Pal with Toni Storie

Hello Crafty Friends!  We are getting back to school with Scor-Pal this week and you do not want to miss a single bit of it.  Today, I have a fun little pencil box for you!  With a handful of scores, a snip here and there and the ever essential Scor-Tape, you will have a happy little container for pencils!  Let's get started:

For this project, you will need:

• Scor-Pal
• Scor-Tape
• 4" x 9" piece of card stock
• 7" x 7" piece of card stock
• Paper snips
• Stamps
• Ink
• Embellishments

Place the 4" x 9" piece of card stock into the Scor-Pal with the 4" side against the top fence.  Score at 1" and score again at 3". 

Turn the card stock 180 degrees so that your 9" side of the card stock is against the top fence.  Score at 1" and score again at 8".

Crease all of the scores and then trim tabs in 1" on the long side of the card stock.  The cuts will be on the 1" and 8" score lines.  Trimming a slight triangle makes for a clean edge. 

Turn card stock over and adhere Scor-Tape to each tab. 

Remove adhesive backing and fold tabs in to create the box. 

If you will be stamping on your box cover, you may want to do that now with your 7" x 7" piece of card stock.  If not, place the card stock into the Scor-Pal and score at 1 1/4", 2 1/4", 4 1/4" and 5 1/4". 

Crease all of scores on your box cover.

With the panels of the box cover defined clearly with the score lines, I stamped on the front of the box cover.

Turn the cover over and apply Scor-Tape to the first 1 1/4" panel, shown on the far right.

Remove adhesive backing and adhere box cover around the box base. 

Here is one more view of the finished pencil box, all closed up.

I'm so glad you made it all the way through the tutorial.  I hope it has been helpful.  Have a wonderfully creative day!

Details - Stamps: Teachers Count (Verve); Paper: Early Espresso, Snow Storm Smooth (MFP); Ink: Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Versamark; Accessories: Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, clear embossing powder, heat tool, May Arts burlap twine, glue dots.

Hi everyone!

It's me, Lisa Andrews.  This week the Scor-Pal designers are showcasing Back to School projects.  Today, I made a quick and simple little school supply holder.

To start, cut a piece of card stock 7 1/2" x 9".  With the 9" side on the top fence, score at 1 1/2" and 

7 1/2".  Turn your paper so the 7 1/2" side is on the top fence, score at 3" and 4 1/2". 

 Adhere your box together with Scor-Tape.

The finished box measures 6" x 1 1/2" x 1 1/2".  Now it is time to decorate.  Fill with school supplies.  I found a cute little notebook that I covered with Bo Bunny paper and put our teacher's name on it.

Supplies:

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape 1/4"

Bo Bunny designer paper

yellow, black, blue and red card stock

Cricut George Cartridge (for numbers and Ms. S)

Scor-Pal and Graphic 45 Week with Jennie Harper

There have been projects at Scor-Pal and at the Graphic 45 blog and we another wonderful one today!




For your extra entries into the draw today comment on this post, follow our blog and like our Facebook page. If you have been following all week you should be all set!

Hi Scor-Pal fans!  It's Jennie and I wanted to share a project I created for our Graphic 45 ~ Scor-Pal Blog Week. Using a Scor-Pal and come beautiful Graphic 45 patterned paper, I created an easy desk calendar.

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Graphic 45 French Country
Cardstock: Gina K. Designs
Stamps: Rejoice from The Craft's Meow
Pearls: Want2Scrap
Stickers: SRM Stickers

 Tool: Scor-Pal scoring board 

Adhesive: Scor-Tape

Scissors

Score a 4" x 12" piece of card stock at 4" and 8".

Fold each end in towards the center of the card. It should easily stand on one end with the center section at the "back" of the card, and the other end flap folded down to make the front of the card. To help it stand up easily, embellish the bottom flap. This will keep it from collapsing while on display.

This is very easy to do and I am thinking of making some of of these for Christmas gifts this year.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Blessings,
