Mid Month Tutorial by Toni

We are flying through the month!  Here we are at the half-way point and I have the mid-month tutorial for the Scor-Pal "More Than Once Score" challenge.  Our theme is All Things Bright and Beautiful, so I worked in some paper that I think is beautiful and the color red.  The rest of the team made some amazing projects, so be sure to check them out on the Scor-Pal blog.  I'm hostessing this month and so I made this cute little gift box with a card-stand.

For this project, you will need: 

• Scor-Pal
• Scor-Mat
• Scor-Tape
• One 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base
• One 6" x 6" piece of paper
• One 3" x 3" piece of paper
• craft knife
• paper snips
• stamp set
• ink
• patterned paper, as desired
• embellishments, as desired

Place the 3"x 3" piece of paper (could be patterned paper) in the Scor-Pal. Score at 1/2" and 2 1/2". Rotate paper 90 degrees and score again at 1/2" and 2 1/2". Quick tip: Place the pattern you would like to see face down in the Scor-Pal.

Burnish the score lines.  Trim on the score lines to 1/2" on opposite sides of the square.  

Adhere Scor-Tape to the newly created 1/2" tabs on opposite sides of the square.

Remove adhesive backing from the tabs and fold in to create the gift box lid.

Place the 6"x 6" piece of paper (could be patterned paper) in the Scor-Pal. Score at 2" and 2". Rotate paper 90 degrees and score again at 2" and 2". 

Burnish the score lines.  Trim on the score lines to 2" on opposite sides of the square. 

Adhere Scor-Tape to the newly created 2" tabs on opposite sides of the square.

Remove adhesive backing from the tabs and fold in to create the gift box bottom.

Place Scor-Mat into the Scor-Pal.  Place 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base into the Scor-Pal. With a craft knife and ruler, trim out a 2" by 2" section. Cut down 2" from 2 1/2" and 4 1/2".  Cut from 2 1/2" to 4 1/2" on the 2" mark.

Embellish your gift box as desired and place into the card stand.
