Back to School Tutorials with Scor-Pal with Abby Henderson

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby. This week at Scor-Pal it's all about Back To School projects and tutorials. I want to share a tutorial with you today that is for my daughter who is going to be a Freshman this year. This is her first year to have a full size locker so I wanted to create something that not only could decorate her locker with but have it be functional as well.  I made a locker pen and notepad holder...

Let me share with you the quick and easy steps to create this holder... Select the card stock you want to use for the project then cut it to 12" x 6". Place it on your Scor-pal and make a score mark at the following measurements: 1", 5 1/2", 6 1/2", 11"

Turn the paper and make one score mark at 5"

Once you've made all of your score marks, you'll make the cuts shown in the photo below. This will allow you to fold the box when you assemble it...

Next you'll fold along all of your score lines...

Apply some Scor-Tape and then you're ready to assemble your holder...

 Once the holder is assembled it's time for some creative play and embellishment....

I thought it was fun to incorporate the fact that she's a Freshman this year along with her class year. All I need to do now is put some magnet tape on the backside and she can easily hang this on her locker door. When I showed it to her she loved it which is all I wanted. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and that I inspired you to reach for your Scor-Pal and create something fun for your kids heading back to school.  Happy Crafting!!

Scor-Pal and Graphic 45 Week with Abby Henderson

Here we are with the second projects of our very special week of projects you featuring the fabulous Scor-Pal products and the gorgeous papers of Graphic 45!

We will have projects here and over at the Graphic 45 blog



We have 2 Scor-Buddies up for prizes and there are giveaways at the Graphic 45 blog too. There are plenty of ways to win, each day will be a little different but will involve a little commenting from you, our wonderful viewers.
For Abby's post I'd like you to make a comment about your favorite part of the project.

Hi Friends! This is Abby with ScrappinAbby.  For this project, I had the pleasure of working with the amazing papers from Graphic 45.  Using the gorgeous French Country collection and my Scor-pal, I made a French Country Port Wine Gift Bag.

To create the gift bag, I took a 12x12 piece of paper from the French Country collection and placed it on my Scor-pal and made score marks at  2 1/2", 5 1/2", 8" and 11"

 Next I rotated the paper and made another score mark at 1 1/2". You can adjust the height of your gift bag depending on how tall your beverage bottle is that you are using. 

 I then folded along all of my score lines and made the cuts that you'll see in the photo below

 I used Scor-tape on the edges and flaps that will create the gift bag. I do want to note that I inked all of my edges and placed my embellishments on the gift bag before I assembled it. I find doing this makes adding the final touches easier to do.

Once I assembled the gift bag, I took a 1/2" of paper to create the handle. Before covering it with some modge podge, I used a slightly smaller width strip of paper to add accent to the handle. The reason I used the modge podge was to give the strip of paper some added durability since it would be carrying the gift bag with a bottle of wine in it.  Next I added some fussy cut images from the French Country collections, a mix of flowers and some crinkle ribbon. 

I wrapped some jute around the top of the bottle and used one of the G45 Metal Tags. Here you can easily write the name of the receipient or you could use a label.

I added more modge podge to the label I fussy cut from the collection and tucked some flowers and crinkle ribbon around it. I thought this would be a fun way to dress up the gift bag.  In the next few photos you can see how I applied some Crackle Accents to the fussy cut roosters to create an aged looked and to add decor to the sides. This way if it's displayed on a kitchen counter it looks complete on all sides. 

I really love how this wine gift bag turned out and using the gorgeous papers from G45 and the Scor-pal products really made this project look elegant. This is such a quick and easy project to create and you can adjust the height and width to accommodate whatever type of beverage you are giving.  Thanks for stopping by the Scor-pal blog and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project. I hope I was able to show you a creative way to use the amazing Scor-pal and G45 products.  Happy Crafting!!  

Drop back tomorrow for more projects and more ways to win!

Scor-pal and Viva Las VegaStamps! Week with Abby Henderson

 We have a fun week of inspiration to share with you today from Scor-Pal and Viva Las VegaStamps! Be sure to leave comments on our blogs this week to be in the running for great prizes.  VLVS will be giving away a couple of pounds of rubber stamps, and we will be giving away a Scor-Pal and a Scor-Envi.  The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win! 

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and I'm really excited to share my Steampunk project with all of you that I created using Scor-pal products and the awesome Viva Las Vegastamps. I chose to create a Steampunk tag & tag box that you can use to hold your tags. I got my inspiration for the tag box from Bridgett Owen's Sticky Note Holder & Gift Box which you can see HERE.  I only used the measurements for the gift box and turned into a tag box and added an extra score mark which I'll share with you in the tutorial below. 

Products used:

Scor-pal

Scor-Tape

Viva Las VegaStamps-Plate 1336 Steampunk

Please check out my blog for the additional supplies used on this project

After picking out the card stock I wanted to use for my tag box, I cut the paper into a 10 1/4"x 4 3/4" strip

Lay your card stock lengthwise on your Scor-pal at the 3/8" mark and then make a score mark at 1"

Next you'll move your card stock all the way to the left edge of your Scor-pal and make score marks at 4 1/4", 5 1/2" and 9"

Turn your card stock 90 degrees and make a score mark at 3" and then fold along all of your score lines

In the next photo you'll see where I've trimmed off a portion of my card stock...this creates the flap you need to make the box

After making the cuts above and folding on my score lines, I placed the card stock back on my Scor-pal (see the photo below for placement) and made one last score mark at 4 1/4". This creates the flap to turn up into the bottom of your tag box.

Apply Scor-Tape to your card stock as you see in the photo below 

I happened to be using some distress card stock so I sanded the edges of my paper before I peeled off the adhesive backing

Next you'll assemble your tag box after you've removed the Scor-Tape backing

In the photos at the end of the tutorial, you'll see how I used a variety of papers and metal embellishments to decorate the tag box. 

For the tag I used one of the amazing images from Steampunk Plate 1336. I used a few different Distress Marker colors to give my stamped image some depth

I really love how crisp and clear the stamped image looked on this vintage piece of paper. 

Here I used some metallic gold ink on another image from Plate 1336

I somehow missed taking a photo of the shoe images I used for the background on my take but I wanted to use some two-tone embossing powder instead of ink for this portion of the project. You'll see the images in the photos below : )

This was my first time using the VivaLasVegas Stamps and I LOVE them!! Using them along with the Scor-pal products you can create some amazing projects.

Happy Crafting!!

Scor-Pal and Clearsanp with Abby Henderson

 This week the DT's from Scor-Pal and Clearsnap have joined forces to bring you some amazing projects.  Be sure to check the Scor-Pal Blog and the Clearsnap Blog everyday for inspiration, and also to enter to win a Scor-pal!  Just leave comments this week on any of our Scor-pal posts, and we will choose a winner next week.

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and I have a special project to share with all of you today using some products from ClearSnap and Scor-pal. The reason this project is so special is because it's a mixed media canvas of my beautiful daughter Kaley and I. 

Products used:

Scor-pal

Scor-tape

ClearSnap Smooch Spritz

ClearSnap Smooch Glitz

ClearSnap Pearlized Accent Ink

ClearSnap Smooch Spritz Pink Sprinkles

ClearSnap ColorBox Dye Ink Stephanie Barnard Guava

Here are the products and items I selected to use for this project...

For my first layer on the canvas..I used some of the Guava spray to create a "frame" around where I was going to place my photo strip...

While that was drying I started in on my letters. I used the Smooch Glitz Sparkle in pink on the You and Me letters and used some of the Smooch Pearlized Accent ink in Gold on the & symbol...

I wanted to add some additional texture to the canvas so I mixed together some Gesso and some of the Smooch Spritz Pink Sprinkles and painted that over some texture tape that I added to the lower left hand corner of the canvas. I have a photo of this at the end of the post...

I set the canvas aside to dry and started working on my vellum rosette and accent strip that I wanted to add to the canvas. I took a 1 1/2" strip of vellum and made a score mark at every 1/2". I then folded along the score lines, cut out a circle from another piece of vellum..added some Score-tape to the circle and created a rosette...

 I didn't take a photo of this but I used another 1 1/2" strip of vellum and made a score mark at every 1/4" to create a texture strip that I used as an accent peeking out from the right hand side of my photo strip.  Once the inks and sprays were dry I placed my letters on the canvas and used more Scor-tape to adhere everything to the canvas including my photo strip...

 For the rest of the project I simply started layering my flowers, papers and vellum pieces on the canvas. For added texture I took a black stamp pad in addition to the ClearSnap Guava ink pad and randomly stamped background images all over the canvas. I have to say I was sort of addicted to the Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink in Gold...I used it for additional texture throughout the canvas as well. I love these products...they go on so smoothly. Here are some photos of my completed canvas..

I had so much fun creating this canvas and I was able to use some of the ClearSnap prodcuts I haven't tried before. I love how this turned out and my daughter already has it hung on the wall in her bedroom. 

I hope I was able to inspire you to use some of the amazing ClearSnap products in a mixed media canvas and with some other craft mediums along with your Scor-pal and Score-tape...two of my must have craft items. 

Thanks for stopping by the Scor-pal blog today and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project. 

Happy Craftin!!
