Scor-Pal's June More Than On Score Challenge - Masculine/Father's Day 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 Masculine/Father's Day 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 a Father's Day card this month. My husband is appreciates simplicity, so I opted for a technique this month rather than a fancy fold.
I went with a faux tile technique for his Father's Day card. It only took me four steps to create the faux tile look.  First, I scored the vertical lines and then turned the paper 90 degrees and put in the horizontal lines on my paper.  Then, I stamped and masked and stamped some more.  After that, I added a teensy bit of color and then sponged ink to make the score lines pop out.  Finally, I embossed the whole layer.

One other tip that I want to mention is that Scor-Tape works amazingly to adhere embossed paper or seriously scored paper, like I have here.  There is nothing else that works like it in my experience.

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 May More Than One Score Challenge - Feminine/Mother's Day 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 Feminine/Mather's Day 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 a Mother's Day card this month.  With all the social distancing, I know that I won't be visiting my mother in person this month, so a card will have to do.  I can't even get her a beautiful hanging basket from my favorite nursery as it's still closed (non-essential).  I went for "WOW" this month and created a Tri-Shutter card.
The card all flattened out is 12 inches long, but folds beautifully into a 4 1/4 inch by 5 1/2 inch card.  The hardest thing for me about this card was deciding which patterns to use together.  I left the third center panel mostly blank so that I could write a brief, but personal message.
