Easter Gift Box by Lori Williams

Easter Gift Box

Designer: Lori Williams

Supplies Used: Scor-Pal Board, Scor-Pal Tool, Scor-Pal Tape, Designer Paper and Dies.  

It's always fun to create dimensional paper projects and I hope you'll find this one handy for any holiday, though I have designed it for Easter.  Get your Scor-Pal's ready, follow this simple tutorial and you'll have your treat box in no time. 

Step One: Cut your cardstock to 11 x 6 5/8.  Cut two pieces of designer paper 2 1/2 x 3 7/8 and two 2 x 3 7/8 and one piece 3 1/2 x 4 inches.  Lastly cut one piece of card stock to 3 1/4 x 3 3/4 and one 2 7/8 x 2 1/2.  

Step Two: On the main piece of cardstock score at the 2 1/2 , 5 1/4, 7 3/4 and 10 1/2 longwise.  For the 7 3/4 and the 2 1/2 scores you'll need to move your paper over to the first 1/8 of an inch line as shown in the picture below ( this will actually be scoring at 2 5/8 and 7 7/8 inche but there aren't lines for those measurements).  For the 1/4 and 1/2 inch mark be sure it's lined back up on the edge.  

Step Three: Turn your paper and score 2 1/2 

Step Four: Cut your lines upward on the smaller section and cut away the last little strip as shown on the picture below

Step Five: Lay your designer paper out and adhere to the base

Step Six: On one of the larger panels tape down a die cut you would like to use the shape and cut out. 

Step Seven: Apply thin Scor-Pal tape around the diecut and apply a clear sheet of acetate.  

TIP: You can purchase acetate sheets but I use many of my packing supplies from dies and such and recycle. 

Step Eight: Score your 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 designer paper a 1/2 inch around all side and cut slices as shown in the picture below.  We are forming the lid. 

Step Nine: Glue your solid card stock that is 2 7/8 x 2 1/2 to the inside of your lid.  This will give it some strength.  Then punch two holes on the sides of lid to run ribbon through.  

Step Ten: Glue tabs with Scor-Pal tape to create the lid. 

Step Eleven: Score your last piece of card stock that is  3 1/4 x 3 3/4  , 1/2 inch around and create another lid as above.  Take your ribbon and some wide scor-pal tape and adhere to the bottom of the lid.

Step Twelve: Push down into the box and this will hold your ribbon in place.  Run your ribbon through the lid holes and top your box.  Your now ready to embellish your box.

Easter Centerpiece by Steph Ackerman

Good morning Steph Ackerman here with an Easter centerpiece.  

This would be lovely on the center of the Easter table.

Supplies:

Scoring Tool: Scor-pal

Adhesive: Scor-tape

Cardstock:  Coredinations

Stamp: Justrite Stampers

Dies: Spellbinders

Punch, Stickers:  EKSuccess

Ink: Clearsnap

Instructions:  

Starting with a sheet of 12" x 12" cardstock, score at 3 1/2" and 8 1/2".  Rotating the cardstock, score again at 3 1/2" and 8 1/2".  Cut to the score lines on all four corners, creating the flaps for the basket.

Using Scor-tape, apply the tape the smaller ends and fold the larger up to create the basket base.

Using a Spellbinders Scalloped die, die cut coordinating cardstock to add around the basket.  

Stamp an image on coordinating cardstock, then die cut with the same Spellbinders die.  Score 1/2" from the top edge and fold over.  Add Scor-tape and align the stamped piece so that the scallops are slightly offset.  Fold the scored edge into the basket to create a finished edge. 

To create the handle, cut a strip of coordinating cardstock 1 1/2" x 12".  Score at 1/4" and 1/2" from both long edges for a little dimension.  Ink edges and staple to the sides of the basket. 

Cut 1" strips of coordinating cardstock and create rosettes by scoring every 1/4".

For the sides of the basket, I created double rosettes, creating  the top rosette using cardstock cut to 1" x 12" and the bottom rosette using cardstock cut to 1 1/2" x 12".  The small rosette was scored every 1/4" and the large rosette was scored every 1/2".  The rosettes were adhered together and then adhered to the sides of the basket.

Create six small rosettes in multiple colors and add coordinating 1 1/2" punched circles on top.  Add letter stickers to the top of each rosette.  Add color to the letter stickers with Gold Smooch Ink.

Cut 3 strips of cardstock each 1" x 9" and score every 1/4".  Adhere together and use these as egg holders. 

 

Place the eggs in their holders inside the basket.

Spring Centerpiece by Tya Smith

Hello all - I am so happy to be able to share this bright and cheery Spring centerpiece that I made using some beautiful papers from Little Yellow Bicycle Hello Spring Collection and my trusty Scor-Pal! I am hoping that if I put this up, that spring will come that much sooner! :)

Here is how I put this fun project together:

Supplies:

Scor-Pal

All papers, and stickers - Little Yellow Bicycle Hello Spring Collection

Spring Floral Branch(purchased at Hobby Lobby)

Wood Tall Box (purchased at Hobby Lobby)

Paper Shreds

Monofilament for hanging shapes

1 1/8 oval punch

Decorative edge punch

Twine and various ribbons for decoration and embellishment

This project features 3 different elements that I made with my Scor-Pal. The birdhouse, the butterflies and the kites. I will show you how to make each one:

BIRDHOUSES:

The birdhouses were made following this tutorial that is found on the Scor-Pal Project Site under Advent Houses. I just did not add a cut out door or window and opted for a Brown Cardstock oval cut from an oval punch for the opening. Decorate the roof edges with a decorative edge punch and some ribbon.

BUTTERFLIES:

To make the butterflies you will need to cut 2 rectangles from either cardstock or pattern paper. The rectangles here are 3 x 3 1/2 inches.  After you cut these out, I just rounded the outside corners with my scissors to make the shapes as shown below.

 Next I lined the shapes up and make score marks every 1/4 inch

 Next - glue the 2 shapes together as shown

Add 2 brown cardstock ovals to the front and the back of the accordion folded shapes. I then added a cute butterfly sticker to the front for some added decoration.

KITES:

To make the kites I took a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch square and scored it right down the middle going both ways:

Next you will simply fold the 2 outer edges to the center line to make a kite shape like below. Glue these 2 edges down.

Cut some thin strips of coordinating cardstock to the front to make the cross sections of the kite. Attach some baker's twine to the bottom of the kite for the kite's tail and add some tiny ribbon knots onto the baker's twine.

To attach the shapes to the Floral branch, I simply poked a small hole in the top of my shapes and fed the mono-filament twine (similar to fishing line) through the hole, tied a knot and added it to the branch.

I hope you will try these cute and fun techniques out for your own Spring Centerpiece. I love that I can add such fun little details to my home decor projects using my Scor-Pal! I hope you will too!

Happy Scoring!

Tya Smith :)
