Creating a Chevron Pattern with Scor-pal Guest Designer Melissa Craig


Hi everyone, Melissa Craig here.  I am so excited to share something I've discovered how to make.  I was inspired by a scrapbooking blog I happened upon and of course, now I can't find.  However, directions weren't posted on how to use a Scor-Pal to create chevrons, so I played.  I have figured out  how to make this super easy design element to add to your cards and pages and I'm excited to share it with you.  Here's my finished project....


And the chevron, up close.  Make a bunch of these... layer them up.  Trust me, they'll look fabulous!


Here's how to do it:

Step one:  Score a 1" x 11" lengthwise at 1/2"


Step two:  rotate and score every 1/2"


Step 3 Now you're going cut out your chevron.  Using each box you created with the score lines, you are going to cut out triangles.  The score lines give you perfect guidelines.  See diagram below:


Step 4 Voila!  You have a chevron border.  You can make these any size you want, just make sure you're scoring evenly.


I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and I would love to see your projects that you've added your chevron borders to.

Hugs & Blessings,
Melissa

Sanded Grid card by Jennie Harper

Hi Scor-Pal fans! It's Jennie and I wanted to share a revamped project from the Scor-Pal website project section which I updated with my own touch. I chose the Sanded Grid card by Cary Eldred. This is such a fun technique and love her card from 2008! I enjoy creating grids for cards in general, however the Core-dinations card stock makes it fun to sand!!

 
Supplies:
Stamp set: Stamp BIG! (Gina K Design)
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa and Rose Bud (Tsukienko) 
Die: Labels Twenty-Five (Spellbinders)
Adhesive: Scor-Tape






Place a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Core-dinations card stock (colored side down) on Scor-Pal at an angle.


Using Scor-Bug, score every 1/2".


Rotate the card stock and again score at every 1/2".


Turn panel over to reveal texture created by the Scor-Bug.


Sand raised edges lightly with Core-dinations Sand It tool.


Adhere to brown card stock using Scor-Tape and adhere to card base.


Complete card as desired. I die cut a piece of Kraft card stock and added a simple sentiment.

Hope you will try making one of these yourself!! If you do be sure to leave me a comment as I would love to check it out!!
