Our first project of the day comes from Scor-pal Designer Lisa Silver.

Supplies:

Tool: Scor-Pal scoring board and Scor-Tool

Ink: Gathered Twigs Distress ink by Ranger

Paper: Straw 110# by DiscountCardstock.com

Patterned Paper: The Autumn Melody Stack and Cardstock Stack by DCWV

Other: Natural Jute Twine by Really Reasonable Ribbon, Crop-o-dile by We R Memory Keepers, Precision scissors by EK Success, Leaf die by Sizzix and Scor-Tape

To create the bag, I started a sturdy kraft cardstock.  Score at the following marks, using your Scor-pal scoring board:

The small corner in the template above that is shaded should be removed with precision scissors.  Cut along the 1.5" scores to create the bottom of the bag.  Fold along the scored lines.  I also used Scor-Tape to ensure my bag stays together.  Add Scor-Tape to the small fold (1") edge and adhere to the opposite side to close the bag.  I just can't say enough about Scor-Tape... there's just nothing better!  Your project will not fall apart.

Using a the lovely textured cardstock from the Autumn Melody cardstock stack, I die cut leaves into the brown cardstock.  I also used a pretty patterned paper from the Autumn Melody Stack behind the die cut cardstock to give the leaves some dimension and interest.

The die cut panel was adhered to the bag with dimensional tap, after I tied on a simple bow of twine.

I added a braided handle of twine to the bag, through two holes punched into the sides approximately 0.5" from the edge.

To complement the bag, I created a gate fold card to match.  To be honest, it's so simple to create a gate fold card using a Scor-pal because the scoring marks are noted on the board.  Start with a 8.5" x 11" piece of kraft card stock.  Score at 2.25" and 7.75".  I used the same beautiful Autumn Melody Stack papers - and trimmed one of the images to use as my focal point of the card.  I inked the edges a bit for added dimension.

And then... I actually finished the inside of a card.  I think if you have the elegance of the gate fold for your card style, you need a "ta-da" finish for the inside.  I used a couple of the die cut leaves, not just because I had them on hand (which I did), but also because they are beautiful.

Do you realize just how easy it is to create boxes using your Scor-pal?  Once the box size has been determined, it's a matter of scoring, folding and taping and a box comes to life in no time at all.  

Follow along with me and see how quickly you can make this project come alive using some awesome card stock and pattern papers from DCWV.

Supplies:

Cardstock: DCWV, Autumn Melody

Pattern paper: DCWV, Autumn Melody Stack

Scoring tool: Scor-pal

Adhesive: Scor-tape, Glue dots

Ink: Clearsnap

Cut 2 pieces of card stock 8" x 8".  Score one piece at 2" and 6".  Turn the paper once and score at 2" and 6" again (this will be the bottom).  Score the second piece at 2" and 6 1/8".  Turn the paper once and score again at 2" and 6 1/8" (this will be the top).

Cut in on all 4 sides to the score lines to create the flaps.  Add score tape to the edges. 

Fold the small flaps in to create the box.

Cut pattern paper to fit sides and top of box and ink all edges.  Using a punch, punch along the bottom edges of each side piece before adhering.  This gives a nice finishing edge to your box.  A smaller strip of pattern paper was cut and adhered to each side.

To create the small rosette, cut a strip of card stock 1" x 12".  Score every 1/4" across and then accordion fold the strip.  Lightly ink the folded strip with brown ink.  Using Scor-tape, adhere the ends together and gently force into a circular shape.  Adhere the rosette to a circle to help reinforce the shape.

To create the larger rosette, cut a strip of card stock 2" x 12".  Score every 1/2" across and then accordion fold the strip.  Lightly ink the folded strip with brown ink.  Using Scor-tape, adhere the ends together and gently force into a circular shape. Adhere the rosette to a circle to help reinforce the shape.

Place the smaller rosette on top of the larger rosette and add a die cut element on the top.  Adhere to the box top, applying adhesive to the bottom of the rosette only.  I then fussy cut some leaves and inserted them under the rosette.  To finish the inside of the box, I cut pattern paper to fit and then inked it with brown ink before adhering it in place.
