Scor-Pal's April More Than One Score challenge - Florals 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 Florals or Anything Goes. You can take your pick!  It's great to have choices, as often there is something that I need to create for.  I went with florals this month.  Who doesn't love flowers?  My crafty stash is full of them!  For this month, I created a Double Dutch Fold card.

My Double Dutch fold card ended up being 5" by 7".  I'll have to spend a little time fussing with numbers and I'll bet that I can get it down to 4 1/4" by 5 1/2". This kind of card is a great way to show off all of that fabulous designer paper you have in your stash.  This card also stands up really nicely!

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.

March Pinspired!

Hey there, crafty friends!  It's come around again to my turn to host a "Pinspired" post.  I have always found step cards to be fun to make.  They have a great "Wow" factor.  I have seen many step cards on Pinterest, but usually they are bigger than your average sized card and sometimes in metric.  I like for my cards to fit in regular size envelopes.  

Of course, it fits in with this month's More Than One Score challenge as the theme is Easter/Spring or Anything Goes. Without any further chatter, here is my A2 sized side step card.

For this project, you will need:

• Scor-Pal
• Scor-Mat
• One piece of 4 1/4" x 11" card stock
• Craft knife
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Stamps
• Ink
• Markers
• Dies
• Scissors
• Stampin' sponge
• Dimensional Adhesive

Place your 4 1/4" x 11" piece of card stock with the 11" side of the paper against the top of the Scor-Pal. Score at the 1" mark down 2". Score at the 2" mark down 2". (It may be helpful to measure and lightly mark 2" on the card stock with a pencil.)

Score at the 3" mark down 3/4".  Score at the 3 3/4" mark down 3/4". Score at the 7 1/4" mark down 3/4". (It may be helpful to measure and lightly mark 3/4" on the card stock with a pencil.)

Score at 6 1/2" from 3/4" to 2". (Again, it may be helpful to measure and mark both 3/4" and 2").

Turn 180 degrees and score from 5 1/2" down to 2 1/4" (It may be helpful to measure and lightly mark 2 1/4" on the card stock with a pencil.)

Rotate 90 degrees so that the 5 1/2" score is against the left side of the Scor-Pal. Insert your Scor-Mat under your card stock and cut vertically on the 2 1/4" line from the 1" score to the 6 1/2" score.

Cut vertically on the 3 1/2" line from the 3" score to the 7 1/4" score.

Flip paper over and begin to crease fold lines. Begin creasing with the score at 5 1/2", then the score at 4 1/2" and then finally the score at 3 3/4".  The mountain and valley folds below sort themselves out when creasing those top scores.

Finally, decorate as desired!  I opted to go with an Easter theme and used grass and cloud dies to help set the scene for my chick and his eggs.  Those images were stamped, colored and fussy cut.  Lastly, I stamped a sentiment, drew a speech bubble around it, trimmed it out and popped it up.

I hope you give this A2 sized side step card a try. Thanks for stopping by!

Scor-Pal's March More Than One Score challenge - 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 Easter or Anything Goes. You can take your pick!  It's great to have choices, as often there is something that I need to create for.  Since Easter candy has already hit the shelves in our local drug stores, I chose to create a little something for Easter. I made a mini tote bag to hold some Easter grass and treats.  It was fun and easy!

My mini tote bag starts as a 6" x 6" piece of designer paper and, with a few strategic scores and cuts, transforms into a sweet treat holder.  Of course, the whole thing is held together with none other than the fabulous Scor-Tape.  I don't know how I lived before Scor-Tape...but I do know that my projects didn't hold together as well!

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.
