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:
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.
Thanks for stopping by the Scor-pal blog and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project.
Happy Crafting!!
