Scor-Pal's March More Than One Score Challenge - St.Patrick's Day/Easter or Anything Goes

 

Hello Crafty Friends! I'm back with the Scor-Pal team for another More Than One Score challenge.  The theme for this month is St. Patrick's Day/ Easter or Anything Goes. You can take your pick! You know that I love the anything goes option, but I always seem to go with the theme!  So, Easter it is this month. Very rarely do I decorate the inside of my card...I leave it open for the message to the recipient.  This month, I found a "W" fold card that looked fun and decided to give it a try. Here is my "W" fold card.


Here is my card, cleverly disguised as your typical CAS card.  Wait for it....

It opens and out pops that "W" fold with some fun textured paper and some happy Easter imagery.  It was really very simple with just a couple of scores and the indispensable Scor-Tape!

Don't forget to stop by the Scor-Pal blog for links to the other creations for this month. I hope that you will play along with this month's theme or just make something scored and amazing for us to love!  If you need some ideas or want to find some inspiration, you can check out the Projects on the Scor-Pal website or our Pinterest board.

Scor-Pal's February More Than One Score Challenge - Valentine's/Love or Anything Goes

Hello Crafty Friends! I'm back with the Scor-Pal team for another More Than One Score challenge.  The theme for this month is Valentine's Day/ Love or Anything Goes. You can take your pick! I love the anything goes option, but I always seem to go with the theme!  Yep, I went with a Valentine's Day theme.  I saw this fun looking card and just had to try it.  I made a Triple Cube card. 
How fun is this? It was actually pretty easy too!  It included 4 separate scores, so it definitely meets the challenge.  It also makes good use of the Scor-Tape with the front two cubes being stuck to the chimney shape in the back.  It also folds flat into a 4"x4" square!

Scor-Pal's December More Than One Score Challenge - Any Holiday or Anything Goes

 


Hello Crafty Friends! I'm back with the Scor-Pal team for another More Than One Score challenge.  The theme for this month is Any Holiday or Anything Goes. You can take your pick! I love the anything goes option, but I always seem to go with the theme!  Yep, I went with a Christmas theme.  I'm just trying to get in the mood.  COVID-19 has really put a damper on the holidays.  I made a Flat-Backed Treat Box.  


I started with a plain piece of card stock and then stamped both sides.  Several scores and then some strategic trimming, I was able to fold the bottom up against the back and then tuck the sides in the rectangle that it made.  A few embellishments and a sentiment flag finish off my creation.

Scor-Pal's November More Than One Score Challenge - Gift Packaging or Anything Goes


 Hello Crafty Friends! I'm back with the Scor-Pal team for another More Than One Score challenge.  The theme for this month is Gift Packaging or Anything Goes. You can take your pick! I love the anything goes option, but I always seem to go with the theme!  I made a couple of simple 2, 4, 6, 8 boxes and finished them in different ways.  I opted for one Fall look and a cutesy kid look for the other.  

The name of the box really describes how you are building the box.  With an 8 1/2" wide piece of card stock or designer paper, you will score at 2, 4, 6, and 8 leaving a 1/2" wide tab for assembly.  You can vary the length of the paper and that adjusts the height of you box.

Scor-Pal's October More Than One Score Challenge - Harvest/Halloween or Anything Goes

Hello Crafty Friends! I'm back with the Scor-Pal team for another More Than One Score challenge.  The theme for this month is Harvest/Halloween or Anything Goes. You can take your pick! I love the anything goes option, but really, I always seem to go with the theme!  I made a Halloween card with a few rosettes to feature some fun Halloween stickers.  Features like rosettes can really add some "wow" to your card.  Of course, you'll need a custom envelope for a card like this.  That tutorial is for another day!

Scor-Pal's September More Than One Score Challenge - Back to School or Anything Goes

 

Hello Crafty Friends! I'm back with the Scor-Pal team for another More Than One Score challenge.  The theme for this month is Back to School or Anything Goes. You can take your pick! I love the anything goes option, but I always seem to go with the theme!  I made a mailable desktop calendar this month because my daughter is starting high school remotely this month.  I feel like I have to really keep on the little things with her in this day and age.  She picked out the color scheme and the stamped flower image.  So you see, this kind of project can be completely personalized.


Here you see how it stands with a few quick scores and folds.  A little bit of Scor-tape secures it and the calendar is ready to embellish.


Here's a view of the front of the desktop calendar made to my daughter's specifications.  The calendar squares were mounted with a bit of Scor-Tape on top of the following month so that she can just remove it at the end of the month.


In this photo, you can see how the calendar fits into a regular A2 sized envelope, just right for mailing! Don't forget to stop by the Scor-Pal blog for links to the other creations for this month. I hope that you will play along with this month's theme or just make something scored and amazing for us to love!  If you need some ideas or want to find some inspiration, you can check out the Projects on the Scor-Pal website or our Pinterest board.

Scor-Pal's August More Than One Score Challenge - Birthday or Anything Goes Mid-Month Tutorial

We are at mid-month! And, I have the mid-month tutorial on my Birthday Swing Card for you.  Since this month's theme is Birthday, I wanted to make a fun and interactive card. A swing fold card fits the bill for both idea.  The rest of the team has made some amazing projects so be sure to check out the Scor-Pal blog for pictures and links to their blogs.
For this project, you will need:
  • Scor-Pal
  • Scor-Mat
  • Scor-Tool
  • craft knife
  • ruler
  • One 6 3/4" x  5 1/2" piece of patterned paper (sturdy) 
  • Two 3" x 4 1/4" pieces of card stock for mats
  • Two 2 3/4" x 4" pieces of card stock for focal image and sentiment
  • Stamps
  • Ink
Place the Scor-Mat into the Scor-Pal. Place the patterned paper into the Scor-Pal with the 6 3/4" side against the top fence.  Align the ruler with the 5 1/2" mark and cut a vertical line from 1 1/4" to 4 1/4".
Rotate the patterned paper 180 degrees.  Once again, align the ruler with the 5 1/2" mark and cut a vertical line from 1 1/4" to 4 1/4".
Rotate patterned paper 90 degrees.  Align the ruler with the 4 1/4" mark and make two vertical cuts.  Cut down from 1 1/4" to 2 3/4" and then cut down from 4" to 5 1/2".  Rotate patterned paper 180 degrees and repeat the previous alignment and the previous two cuts.
Remove the Scor-Mat from the Scor-Pal.  Align the 6 3/4" side of the patterned paper against the top fence.  Make two vertical scores on the 2 3/4" mark from the top of the paper to 1 1/4" and then from 4 1/4" to the bottom of the page.
Flip the paper over so that the pattern is down.  Make two vertical scores on the 4" mark from the top of the paper to 1 1/4" and then from 4 1/4" to the bottom of the page.
Burnish all of the scores as shown.
Stamp desired image and sentiment on each of the 2 3/4" x 4" pieces of card stock.  Mat those on the 3" x 4 1/4" pieces of card stock.
Adhere matted pieces on the center swinging piece of the card base.  
I hope you give this tutorial a try or pick another project for this month's More Than One Score challenge.  If you are low on ideas or are looking for inspiration, be sure to check out the Projects on the Scor-Pal website or our Pinterest board.
