September Scor-pal Designer Challenge

Welcome, Scor-pal fans! 

Today marks a whole new adventure here on the Scor-pal blog.  Starting in September, on the first Monday of each month (that's today!!) we will be introducing a new 
Scor-pal Designer Challenge.  

This month we have challenged the Scor-pal Design Team to with an "Out of the Box" challenge--create any type of box with your Scor-pal. 

Here is just one of the projects created this month:

 

Back to school tissue box cover and pencil holder by Scor-pal Designer Tami Mayberry

This project was created using the Scor-pal along with the Oxford collection of papers and embellishments from Basic Grey.

The tissue box cover was created using this tutorial from Scor-pal Designer Diane Zechman. After creating the basic shape the box was decorated using an Oxford 6x6 paper pad with pieces trimmed slightly smaller than each panel. Once finished, it was embellished with matching school themed stickers and 3D embellishments from the same collection.

The pencil holder was created with an 8"x11" piece of card stock and a few simple scores using the Scor-pal, as shown below.

With the 8" side along the top of your Scor-pal score a line at the 2" mark.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees and score at 2", 4", 6" 8" and 10". 

(These lines will intersect with the previous score line.)

Snip along the five short 2" lines stopping where the score lines intersect.

Attach Scor-Tape along 1" section

Fold into tube shape

 

Fold in bottom flaps, Secure with Scor-Tape and decorate!

(The featured sample uses 5 pieces of patterned paper cut at 1 3/4" x 6")
