Tutorials
Feb. 24- Baskets by Vickie
 Feb. 26- Egg and Silverware wrappers by Sandy

Happy Wednesday!  Today the featured tutorial is a basket tutorial by Vickie.   It's a clear, simple tutorial that you could do many things with.  I used a stamp set called Spring Things to dress up my basket.  I stamped and trimmed out my fence for the front of the basket.  Then I stamped and colored my bunny and gave him an embossed sentiment banner.  I dressed up my basket handle with some ric-rac because it brings back memories of Easter gone by!

Let's get started !!  Here's the Design Team: Bonnie, Gail,  Karen, Kren, Lois, MariLynn, Pat, Pam, Sandy ,

I'm excited for this month's hop as MFP Stamp Shop has some wonderful bunny and heart stamps.  I couldn't help but reach for Garden Bunny first!  He is adorable in his straw hat and overalls.  For today's card, I drew inspiration from one of my co-workers shirts.  I was drawn to the pattern of the fabric of his shirt.  Only today, I made the connection between the shirt and some patterned paper in my stash.

Let's get started !!  Here's the Design Team: Bonnie, Gail,  Karen, Kren, Lois, MariLynn, Pat, Pam, Sandy ,

February "More Than One Score" Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends!  It's February 1st and time with another Scor-Pal More Than One Score challenge.  Our theme for this month is "Pink or Blue".  I opted for some blue this time. Today, I have made a mini favor box*.  It's just right for baby shower favors and can fit a little treat inside.  Let's get started!

For this project, you will need:

• Scor-Pal
• Scor-Tape
• One 4 1/2" x 7 1/2" piece of card stock
• Paper snips
• Corner Rounder
• Mini clothespins
• Additional card stock for embellishments
• Additional designer paper for embellishments
• Square punches
• Star punches
• Stamps
• Ink
• Dimensional adhesive

Place the 4 1/2" by 7 1/2" piece of card stock in your Scor-Pal with the long side against the top fence.  Score at 1 1/2", 3", 4 1/2" and 6 ".

With the 4 1/2" side of the card stock against the top fence, score at 1 1/2" and 3".

Burnish all the folds.

Trim out the corners as shown.

At the opposite end, trim tabs to first 1 1/2" score.

Turn card stock once to the left and cut to the 1 1/2" score line on the first and second folds. Make cuts on both top and bottom.

Round corners on center tabs at both ends.

Adhere Scor-Tape to the first and third tabs on both top and bottom.

Pull the two center tabs up, remove adhesive backing and adhere flaps one at a time to center tabs.

Fold down top and bottom square tabs.

Pinch together the rounded tabs and secure.

Embellish as desired.

This concludes my tutorial for the February 2016 More Than One Score Challenge.

Details: Stamps: Verve Thanks; Paper: Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, DCWV The Boyhood Stack dp; Ink: Chocolate Chip; Accessories: Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, paper snips, corner chomper, mini clothespins, square punches, star punches, dimensional adhesive.

Sadly, it's the last day of the hop and I think this sentiment could be appropriate!  I had fun coloring up my seahorse and then adding the rhinestones to imitate air bubbles.  I borrowed a great sketch from Mojo Monday to kick off my card.  The bubble embossing folder just lent a bit more interest to my card.  I think it makes my underwater scene!  If you didn't start at the beginning of the hop, you will want to follow the links below.

Hello again!  What a fun week this is turning out to be.  I saw some really cool artwork on Pinterest and just had to try and replicate the look on a card!  I love the image stamped on a book page and then outlined with white.  I wasn't sure what medium to use so I experimented a little bit.  I finally went with white acrylic paint and am very pleased with my outcome.  I also gave the body of the boat and the waves a touch of color.

Today's card has a fun little technique that I don't think to use very often.  I  broke out the masking tape used it to apply the colors of my sand and sea.  I stamped my palm tree a couple of times and trimmed it out. Then I popped it up over the embossed card stock.  A fun little saying finishes off this simple card.  If you didn't start this hop at the very beginning, you will want to start with Bonnie.  Just follow the link below.  If you have been following along, head onto Vickie's blog.
