Pinspired- Inspiration from our Pinterest Board by Nancy

Hello crafters! Nancy here today to show you a project I did that was inspired by the Scor-Pal Pinterest Board - a Box in a Bag! The first one shown is a little larger than the one below it.

I can't believe that in all the years of paper crafting that I have never made one of these. I was inspired by this piece.

I decided to go with a nautical theme because I recently purchased a pad of 12" paper at Michael's called "Coastal Cove" that included beachy and nautical papers.

You start by making a box - the "bag" portion of this project will be wrapped around this box, so you really don't see the box unless you look inside.

For the smaller project you will need a piece of cardstock measuring 3 x 3 and score at .5" all the way around.

For the medium piece, use a 4.5 x 4.5 piece of cardstock and score at 1" all around.

You can find the Scor-Pal here and Scor-Tape here.

Cut the tabs and add scor-tape as shown.



Assemble to make the box



Now you will begin the bag portion where you wrap decorative paper around the outside of the box.

For the small project use a piece of decorative paper measuring 3.5 x 8.5.

For the medium project use a piece of decorative paper measuring 5.5 x 11.

Place Scor-Tape on the inside of the decorative paper along the bottom and on one side.



Take your box about halfway on one side and start wrapping the paper around it. Take care to line up the bottom of the box with the bottom edge of the paper.



Continue moving the box along the bottom edge of the paper ..



Keep wrapping the box around the paper until you have completely covered the box.



Now you can start decorating. I used a small piece of coordinating paper and wrapped it around the bottom of the bag, and also used the same paper to make handles.



Add decorative elements and ribbon or twine to the front and you are done!

Here is a close up look at how I embellished mine.





Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you check out the Scor-Pal Pinterest board for more inspiration!

Mid Month Tutorial hosted by Nancy

Hello crafters - Nancy here today to show you how I made this cute note pad folder for this months Scor-Pal more than one score challenge.  

I started with a piece of embossed cardstock measuring 10.5 x 8. Heavier weight cardstock is better for this project. On the short side I scored at 6.5 On the long side I scored at 4.5, 4,75, 9.25 and 9.5 Fold and burnish all score lines.

I cut the bottom to make the flaps and rounded all the corners with a corner rounder - see photo below.

I did not use any adhesive for the flaps because once you snap the folder closed everything stays put.


Once the folder was made I added some die cuts to the front. I thought this set from Sugar Pea
designs was perfect for the Back to School theme.

 


To hold the note folder together there are several options. In the past I have used Velcro or magnets but for this project I used a snap fastener system I found on Amazon. You need a special plier and a set of fasteners for this - they can be found on Amazon.

That is it for today! I hope you will be able to spend some time creating. Be sure to upload your "more than one score" project on the Scor-Pal blog here to be entered into a drawing for a $25 Scor-Pal gift card. You can find the scor-pal HERE and scor-tape HERE. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Each month one of the members of the Scor-Pal design team looks back at Scor-Pal's Pinterest page and recreates a project, using their own design.
This month it is my turn. Looking through the Pinterest page, I found this lovely Z-fold Christmas card made by Lois Bak.



The design is simple yet elegant and can be used for any occasion.
I decided to go with a summer fruit theme and created this strawberry card.


Start with cardstock measuring 4.25 x 11. On the long side score at 5.5 and 8.25



Fold and burnish on the score lines so they make a Z shape.



Attached decorative or stamped paper to the panels as shown.



Attach the focal panel to the front.
The Scor-Pal can be found HERE.
Scor-Tape can be found HERE.
The stamp is from I Brake For Stamps and was colored with copics. The diamond pattern stamp is from Papertrey and was stamped with Memento ink.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you find inspiration to make your own project!
