Fancy Easter Card by Gini Cagle

Fancy Easter Card 

Designer: Gini Cagle

I've got a fun and different fancy fold card to share with you today! And the great part - it's super easy to make!  The outside looks like a normal card, but there's a surprise on the inside.

Supplies:

Scor-Pal

Scor-tape

Graphic 45 Ladies Diary Paper

DCWV Cardstock

Hampton Art/Graphic 34 Ladies Diary Stamp Set 3

Cheery Lynn Designs Dies: Delicate Lace Script

Spellbinders Dies: Labels 3

May Arts Ribbon 365-2-10

Clearsnap Ink

Copic Markers

To make the inside of the card, cut a base 10" x 6".  You are going to cut two slits in the paper, parallel with the long side of the paper.  Measure down and inch and over an inch, and cut an 8" cut.

I think you will understand the cuts and scores more if you look at my diagram.  The black lines indicate where to cut and and dotted red lines indicate where to score. 

As you can see, you are going to score all the way from top to bottom at the 5" mark.  At the 3" and 7" you are only going to score the one inch strips at the top and bottom.  The center portion will be scored at 1", 1 3/4", 8 1/4", and 9".  The small bands are going to pop out and the larger center section will fold in. Decorate this base as you desire.

Cut a card base slightly larger than the inside (10 1/2 x 6 1/2).  Score at 5 1/4.  Use Scor-tape to attach the folded paper to the card base, but make sure you only add the tape along the two outer sides, and horizontally along the 1" border just to the first fold on each side.  If you glue down any more, the card won't pop out like it is supposed to.

Add your card front, and you are all set!

Half Window card by Gini Cagle

Good Morning!

Gini, here.

There are so many great tutorials on the Scor-Pal website, but we thought it would be fun to revisit and update some oldies but goodies.

I chose to make a Half Window Card, as was originally designed by Vicki Hook. The original version relied on the old Coluzzle cutting system, and now that there are so many wonderful dies available on the market, it opens up so many more design possibilities.

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

Cut a piece of cardstock 6" x 12". Score at 3" and 6".  Fold as shown.

Cut patterned paper to add to the card base.

 (2)  2 7/8" x 5 3/4"

(2) 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" : Set one of these to the side. 

Ink the edges of the paper. Use Scor-tape to adhere the panels to the base, but on the first panel, do not put the tape along the edge that will have the cut.

 Take the angel wing die (this is an outline die, that matches a fancy doily die, but has one edge that is not a cutting edge).  Tape the angel wing along the scored/folded line. **If I want to hold something temporarily in place with tape, onto pretty patterned paper, I stick the tape to my skin a couple of times, before adhering to the paper, to make it less sticky and to decrease the chance of messing up my patterned paper.

 

This is what your card will look like after you run it through your die cutting machine.

When I added my doily on top of this, I wanted to have a consistent cream background underneath, so I cut a full circle with the angel wing (make the first cut, line the up so that it completes the circle, tape in place and cut).  Then I matched this up with the half circle, glued in place, then added the doily on top. This will be the inside portion of the card.

Take the second piece of designer paper  5 3/4" x 5 3/4" and lay it on top of the front, to see where the doily fits.  Tape your angel wing to the patterned paper, and using the two step method, cut a full circle from this piece of paper.  Then line it up on the front and attach.

Add your second doily to the front. Embellish as you please.

I love how this card looks like it's flipping around when you open it and hope that you will give it a try.  

Flower Pot Pocket Card by Lisa Andrews

Hello! Lisa Andrews here and I am so glad you stopped by today!  Today I am featuring my own little twist on the Flower Pot Pocket Card.  It's very fussy and fancy, but that is just how I like it!

Supplies:

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

Memory Box Heart Die

Memory Box LaRue Heart Die

Fancy Pants patterned paper

Wild Orchid Craft lace and flower

Start with a piece of card stock that measures 3 1/2" x 7 3/4", score at 3 1/4" (valley fold) and 6 1/2" (mountain fold).  Then fold as follows:

Next, I used a heart die from Memory Box for the "flower pot" part of my card.

I used a Scor-Tape Sheet and the LaRue Heart from Memory Box for the filigree pattern on the front of the heart.

Next I went crazy decorating with all sorts of hearts, some lace and ribbon and some sparkly paper!

Thanks for stopping by!

Double pocket criss-cross card by Virginia Nebel

Hello, Virginia here. Today I would like to share with you my open double pocket criss-cross card.  The multiple pockets make this a fun card to tuck in extra messages or gift cards.

This is a variation of the criss-cross card found on Scorpal's website.

Supplies: Simple Stories pattern paper, Bazzil kraft card stock, The Twinery twine, Scor-tape, Scor-pal tool, EK success circle/border punches.

To create the double pocket criss cross card:

1. Take two 11 x 5.5 card stock pieces and score each in half at 5.5 inches.  Take one piece, cut the left flap on the diagonal and on the 2nd piece, cut the right flap on the diagonal. 

2. Take one of the triangle and place it onto the middle flap offest about 1/4 inch from the bottom and the spine and trace the 'v' line at the top.   Repeat for the other side.

3. Cut the 'v' at the top and glue the flap down with adhesive on the sides and bottom to form a pocket.

4. Cross the outside flaps with adhesive along the bottom edge to create the 2nd pocket.

5. Decorate and add tags.

Creating a Chevron Pattern with Scor-pal Guest Designer Melissa Craig

Hi everyone, Melissa Craig here.  I am so excited to share something I've discovered how to make.  I was inspired by a scrapbooking blog I happened upon and of course, now I can't find.  However, directions weren't posted on how to use a Scor-Pal to create chevrons, so I played.  I have figured out  how to make this super easy design element to add to your cards and pages and I'm excited to share it with you.  Here's my finished project....

And the chevron, up close.  Make a bunch of these... layer them up.  Trust me, they'll look fabulous!

Here's how to do it:

Step one:  Score a 1" x 11" lengthwise at 1/2"

Step two:  rotate and score every 1/2"

Step 3 Now you're going cut out your chevron.  Using each box you created with the score lines, you are going to cut out triangles.  The score lines give you perfect guidelines.  See diagram below:

Step 4 Voila!  You have a chevron border.  You can make these any size you want, just make sure you're scoring evenly.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and I would love to see your projects that you've added your chevron borders to.

Hugs & Blessings,

Melissa

Sanded Grid card by Jennie Harper

Hi Scor-Pal fans! It's Jennie and I wanted to share a revamped project from the Scor-Pal website project section which I updated with my own touch. I chose the Sanded Grid card by Cary Eldred. This is such a fun technique and love her card from 2008! I enjoy creating grids for cards in general, however the Core-dinations card stock makes it fun to sand!!

 

Supplies:

Card Stock: Kraft-Core Nostalgic Collection (Core-donations)

Stamp set: Stamp BIG! (Gina K Design)

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa and Rose Bud (Tsukienko) 

Sand-It Set

Die: Labels Twenty-Five (Spellbinders)

Tool: Scor-Pal scoring board

Scor-Bug Embosser

Adhesive: Scor-Tape

Place a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Core-dinations card stock (colored side down) on Scor-Pal at an angle.

Using Scor-Bug, score every 1/2".

Rotate the card stock and again score at every 1/2".

Turn panel over to reveal texture created by the Scor-Bug.

Sand raised edges lightly with Core-dinations Sand It tool.

Adhere to brown card stock using Scor-Tape and adhere to card base.

Complete card as desired. I die cut a piece of Kraft card stock and added a simple sentiment.

Hope you will try making one of these yourself!! If you do be sure to leave me a comment as I would love to check it out!!
