Our first project this week comes from Scor-pal Designer Gini Cagle

 I received the Take A Hike Collection - and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to create a paper backpack box that I had seen awhile back on Splitcoast Stampers.

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

Simple Stories Take a Hike 12 x 12 Collection Kit

Simple Stories Take a Hike 12 x 12 Simple Basics Kit

May Arts Ribbon Paper Twine 420-33

Epiphany Crafts Round Epoxy

CTMH Velcro Dots

I used a tutorial designed by Mary Arima - and it's very clear and easy to understand, so I will just let you refer to her original post on Splitcoast Stampers. 

When you are working with printed templates, such as the one used for this project, I would suggest using small metal clips to attach your template to the designer paper. This will keep anything from slipping and will provide a much more accurate cut. 

As soon as I finished this project, my nephew took off with it, and promptly put it on the back of one of his stuffed animals!

I used the printed bingo card from this collection to make a small tag that fit perfectly into the backpack. Just the perfect little note to tuck inside.

The other little tip that I can share with you, is that I used small adhesive velcro dots for my closure on the box. It also works great to keep fancy fold cards shut.

Next up, Scor-pal Designer Diane Zechman:

The first card is called a Stand Up Card.
I added some Stickles to the star and "hello" sentiment to make them stand out. Love that bike sticker!



Here's a view of the back of the card so you can see the scoring/folding.



For my second card I made a very simple Folded Paper Frame to showcase the main greeting (a Snap card). A tutorial on how to make the frame can be found here.



I also added some Stickles to the main image on this one. Some additional stickers and another Snap card on the inside...
 


Love the Snap Color Vibe collection of papers!
Fun prints!

Everyone loves a party! 

This year for New Years, we are going to a game night with the kids and I wanted to bring along a little something for the adults.

Here is the supplies I used:

a sheet of acetate

Fancy Pants Country Boutique Collection Kit

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

Magnolia Tag and Swirly Heart Die

Spellbinder Die

Martha Stewart punch

Maya Roads fabric flowers

Here is a close up of the top and the tag that I made

and the label on the bottom

First start with a piece of 9" x 9" black corrugated paper, score at 3" and 6" and turn the paper 90 degrees and score again at 3" and 6". 

Adhere the box together using Scor-Tape.

The next photo is a little hard to see because it is the acetate.  Cut a piece of acetate 11" x 10", score 1/2, 3 3/4", 6 1/2 and 9 1/2"  make sure you score them really well, it will be easier to fold them.  For the back piece cut a piece of acetate 2 7/8" x 11".

Fold the box together as shown below.

Using Scor-Tape secure the acetate to the corrugated box. 

For the top, use a 5" x 5" piece of paper and score 1" on each side.

To make a circle in the middle for the wine bottle to peak out of, use a cutting template and cut a circle in the middle.  I used Creative Memories cutting system using the #4 circle with the red blade.

Now decorate to make it look festive!

Happy New Year!
