Time for a coffee break

Today we have some great projects from the Scor-pal designer Virginia Nebel  perfect for all of the Keurig and Tossimo fans out there.

Here are the steps to create the window box: 

1) Start with a 9 1/4x 9 1/4  inch square and place onto your Scor-pal. Score each side at 1 3/4 inches.

 2) Fold along score lines.  Choose two opposite sides and cut from the outside edge to the corner point where the score lines meet.  Use scor-tape adhesive on the flaps and fold in to form the box.

3) To make the lid with a window in the middle start with a 9 5/16 x 9 5/16 inch square.  Repeat Step 1 and 2 but do not adhere the corner flaps until you create the window.  To make the window, take a 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 square cardstock and centre on the lid and trace with a pencil.  Use scissors to cut out the square window.  Do not worry that your cutting has to be perfect because you can use a border strip to cover the outside window edges.

4) Cut a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 piece of acetate and put thin scor-tap along the edges and adhere acetate over the open square.  Fold in the corner flaps to create the lid.

5) You have just created a window box to fit 9 K-cups snugly and now you can have fun embellishing!

Flip cover: Take a 5 ¾ x 12 inch cardstock, score at 5 ¾ and 11 ½ inches. Adhere the 5 ¾ panels together and use Scor-tape on the ½ inch flap and glue to the side of the box to form the flip cover.

Be sure to stop by this thread in the Scor-pal Forum at Splitcoast Stampers for more great samples!!

Score, Fold, Create!

After much anticipation we are excited to share a peek at what we have been working on over the past several months!!

Today is our final day of projects with Market Street Stamps. Today's featured projects come from Scor-pal designer Steph Ackerman.

Scoring Tool: Scor-Pal; Stamp: Market Street Stamps, Comforting Florals; Ink: Clearsnap Cakewalk Dye Ink, Black Mix’d Media Inx, Twinkling Watermark Ink; Embossing Powder: Clearsnap Top Boss Clear; Brads: Basic Grey

For this first card I inked glossy cardstock by running ColorBox's CakeWalk Inkpad across the cardstock. Once it dried, I used the Comforting Florals Stamp set  to create my card. I stamped the sentiment with Black Mix’d Media Inx in the center of the panel, then stamped the flowers in the corners. I then matted this panel with black cardstock.

Using Twinkling Watermark Ink, I stamped the flowers on cream cardstock and embossed them with Clear Embossing Powder. I mounted the sentiment in the center of the card and scored around it with my Scor-Pal, adding brads to the flower centers before assembling my card.

Scoring Tool: Scor-Pal; Stamp: Market Street Stamps, Believing Butterflies; Ink: Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx - Denim; Embossing Powder: Clearsnap Top Boss Clear; Dies: Sizzix

For my next card, I cut cardstock 5 1/2" x 11" and scored it in half creating a top fold card. I scored 5 lines across the bottom of the card. Using the  Believing Butterfly stamps, I stamped three butterflies with Denim Mix’d Media Inx, embossed them with Clear Embossing Powder and cut them out. Adding foam adhesives to the butterflies, I added them across the score lines.

The sentiment was stamped in Denim Mix’d Media Inx and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, then die cut into a scalloped circle. It was added to the card with foam adhesives on top of blue and black die cut circles.

Today's project comes form Scor-pal designer  Tami Mayberry:

For my project I decided to create a quick and easy pocket card with a see through window. This card has a pull out tag for a personal note. It measures 4.25"x5.5" so it can either be given in an envelope or the pocket can serve as the envelope. I used the Cane background and Compass stamps from Market Street Stamps along with my Scor-Pal and 1/2" Scor-Tape.

I began with a 5 1/4" x 11" piece of card stock. With the longest side along the top edge I scored at 5 1/2". Then I rotated and scored at 1/2" and 4 3/4".

I stamped the front of the pocket with the Cane stamp. Then I  cut a scalloped circle from the front of the pocket for the stamped image to show through and a half circle at the top edge.

I folded the pocket and secured the edges with 1/2" Scor-Tape.

I cut a piece of white card stock slightly smaller than the pocket, stamped the image positioned to show through the window and added a piece of ribbon.

Here is the final result:

Scor-pal Scoring Board; Scor-Tape; Stamps: Market Street Stamps; Ribbon: May Arts; Markers: Shinhan Touch Twin; Inks: Clearsnap Fluid Chalk (Bard Red, Dark Brown); Petite Scalloped Circle die: Spellbinders

Today we have a birdhouse card featuring Scor-Pal and Market Street Stamps by Scor-pal designer Gini Cagle

Cut a 5 x 5" square of paper for the main portion of your house.  Line the paper up in the right hand corner of the Scor-Pal and score at 4" and 4.5". Turn a quarter of a turn and repeat the scores.  Keep turning and scoring until all four sides are done.

Cut away the four corners as shown.  Fold all score lines in towards the wrong side of the print.  

Using a punch or die, cut a circle in the middle of the house body. Add Score-tape to the outside folds, and form a box. Cut a piece of coordinating paper 3" x 3".

Use the Scor-tape to attach the box to the 3 x 3 square.

For the roof, cut a piece of paper 3" x 4". On the 4" side, make a small score in the middle (2" spot), just to mark the middle. Line this score mark up on a chosen line of the Scor-pal, and the bottom corner. Now you are ready to score your diagonal lines. Score a parallel line at 1/2" and 1" on either side of the roof. Cut along each of the outer most lines, and fold the scores.

After the scores are folded, you can add Scor-tape to make you roof dimensional.

Attach the roof and your house is ready to be added to your project.

The Cheep Talk Stamp from Market Street Stamps was paper pieced using American Crafts papers from the Garden Cafe collection.
