A Scor-Pal and Core'dinations Treat Box

I'm back with another Scor-Pal project.  This time, the Scor-Pal is joining forces with Core'dinations!!  Be ready to check out some amazing projects on both the Scor-Pal and Core'dinations blogs.  Today, I have prepared for you a Flat Backed Treat Box*.  You can fit a variety of small treats inside this little box. 

For this project, you will need:

• One 7" x 9" piece of card stock
• Scor-Pal
• Scissors
• Scor-Tape
• Sand It Gadget
• Corner Rounder
• Additional card stock for stamped images
• Stamps
• Ink
• Embellishments

To begin, place your card stock with the 9" side of the paper against the top fence of your Scor-Pal with your embossed pattern face down.  I used some Core'dinations Core Impression Modern Prints.  Specifically, I used the Leapfrog Chevron pattern.  Score at 1", 2", 3", 4" and 5".

Turn your card stock 90 degrees and align your 7" side with the top fence.  Score at 1/2", 3/4", 1 1/2", 5 1/2", 6 1/4" and 6 1/2".

Trim off the corner pieces as shown in the picture below.

Trim the tabs on 3" and 4" score lines up to the 1 1/2" score on either side.  These cuts are highlighted in red for you. 

Trim the edges of each tab at an angle to ensure a good fit.

Take your Sand It Gadget and sand over the embossed pattern on the top 4" by 4" section which will be the "flat back" on your box.  Sanding will reveal the cool ColorCore of this fabulous line!

Turn you box over and adhere your Scor-Tape between the 1" and 2" score lines. 

Next, you will burnish all the folds on your box.

Finally, remove the backing on your adhesive and assemble your box.  Fold each section in toward the flat back until you make the rectangular box at the base.  Fold in each of the short tabs.  Then fold in the longest tab to close off each end.

Embellish your treat box as desired.  Don't forget to fill it with fun little goodies.  This year, mine will hold holiday chap stick for my girlfriends

I hope your enjoyed today's tutorial, as much as I enjoyed creating it for you!

Scor-Pal and Core'dinations Extras

Thank goodness that it is Friday!  I have a fun project for you today that goes along with my main project that is being featured on the main Scor-Pal blog.  There have been some really cool projects made this week by Scor-Pal team and the Core'dinations team.  Be sure to check them out!!

 

I wanted to personalize some tags to go on Christmas gifts for a gift exchange with my besties!  You see their initials represented on the tags below. 

I cut down a piece of Core'diantions Core Impressions Pink Paislee Collection Modern Prints to the size of my tag.  Then I die cut the initial from scrap paper and used temporary adhesive to keep it fixed to the tag, face down. 



 Next, I ran it through my Big Shot.  You can see the layered sandwich below.  From the bottom up, you have the multi-purpose platform with no tabs, a cutting plate, the tag, the No More Shims embossing mat and a second cutting plate. 

I wound up with a nicely embossed "L", which I sanded with my Sand It Gadget to reveal the inner core of the paper.  I also sanded the edges of the tag for  a bit of interest.



I rounded the corners of the tags and did a bit more sanding to the corners.

I punched a hole and set an eyelet in my tag for suspending from a gift bag with some gold cording.

Here you see my tag paired up with its corresponding flat back treat box.  Skip on over to the Scor-Pal blog today for detailed instructions on how to make the box. 

Finally, you have one more picture of all the flat backed treat boxes that match up with the tags I showed you at the beginning of my post!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Using My Scissors

 

Hey there!  It's Thursday and I thought maybe I would change up the scenery around here.  Plus, I'm today's hostess on Splitcoaststampers for the Ways To Use It challenge.  I stamped and colored and cut out my cone flowers.  I had a great time coloring them while my husband watched bad TV!  I'm so glad I didn't waste my time! 

 

I had in mind that I was going to submit this for the Flourishes December Release challenge as I just love this card.  Alas, I forgot the little rule about not combining it with other challenges.  Boo!  Oh well, I'll have to design another for the Flourishes challenge!

Scor-Pal and Core'dinations Week

Here's  a little sneaky peek of what I have to offer this week:

Friends and Christmas, Take Two

Welcome back!  It's been a whole week and a crazy one too.  I don't know why I think I can accomplish things at this time of year!  If you read my promise to show an envelope for a greater than A2 sized card, don't worry, I haven't forgotten.  I just haven't had time.  What I did have time for was this fun Christmas card.  This week, the Friends of Speedy TV challenge to create another Christmas card or a Christmas project. 

 

For today's one layer card, I stamped my pine cone image two times and then colored in my cones and branches.  I tried to use a light touch and not bleed through the card stock.  Then I stamped my sentiment in the center with a darker ink.  I over stamped my pine cones with Versamark and embossed with a sparkling embossing powder.  I created a mask and then stamped over the whole card base with the crackle background.  I round the top and bottom right hand corners and then sponged over the crackle background and up to my pine cones images. 

 

Let's not forget that Mark's Finest Papers offers up a free stamp set for one lucky participant.  The offering this week is Christmas Selections. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Friends And Christmas

Hello and Happy Monday!  After a whirlwind weekend that involved moving furniture in four different rooms of my house, I'm here with a simple card for the Friends of Speedy TV challenge.  Today is challenge number 49 and it's all about making a Christmas card.  I stamped a background first from the recently released stamp set named Just A Note.  Over the background, I stamped the sentiment and then the two different sized holly images around the left and bottom edges of the card.  I colored in my holly and then added some Gold Smooch dots on the berries.  I matted this on a gold mirrored card stock and then popped that up from a plain white card base. 

Now make sure you play along because Mark's Finest Papers is offering up a darling set called Christmas Greetings.  Take a look at this set:

Isn't this cute?  I love the church, the snowflakes and the fabulous sentiments that are included.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll be looking for your card!
