Baby Carriage and tag set by Abby Henderson

Hey everyone...I am really excited to share my project with you today. The Scor-pal DT was asked to peruse the original projects posted on the Scor-pal Projects Section and find one that we wanted to make but with our own twist or update. It didn't take me long to decide which project I wanted to make...the baby carriage..you can find the original project & tutorial HERE

Here is my take on this project....

 There are a couple of things I did differently on my carriage to make it my own. I added a scored top to give the illusion of a collapsible carriage top, made rosettes for the wheels and I used some metal embellishments for the handle. I also created a tag mini for the inside..you know how I love to make minis : )

Products used:

Scor-pal

Scor-tape

Graphic 45 Little Darlings Collection

Hampton Arts/G45 Decades Venetian Lace ink

TH memo pins

Vintage lace/trims/buttons

After selecting the card stock I wanted to use, I cut it into the following sizes: for the outside of the carriage 4"x5" and for the inside of the carriage 3 15/16" x 4 15/16". 

Now you'll score at the 1" mark on all sides for both pieces of card stock.

Next, I made a small cut on each end of the card stock up to the fold line and then add some Scor-tape to the ends.

I used some of the Graphic 45 Decades Venetian Lace ink on the edges. This can be done before or after you put your Scor-tape on...just make sure you leave the adhesive backing on before you ink : )

Go ahead and assemble both boxes...I put them together just make sure they would fit. 

For the rosette wheels, I cut a strip of card stock 2"x12" and then scored at every 1/4" using my Scor-pal.

 I cut the scored paper into 1/2" strips, this way you are making the score marks for all 4 rosettes at once instead of trying to score on a 1/2" strip of paper. Which you can do but this is quicker I think. In the next photo you'll see the process for creating the rosette...

For the carriage top I took a piece of 2"x4" card stock and made a score at 1" then at every 1/4". The 1" score mark allows you room to adhere your top to the edge of the carriage. 

I folded along the score lines, inked up the edges and used Scor-tape to attach it to my carriage...

I also wanted to mention that I also attached my handle and arms for the carriage at this point as well. This needs to be done prior to attaching the inside of the carriage. 

I used more of the G45 Decades ink on a strip of vintage lace which I attached around the carriage using more of the Scor-tape. This stuff is just awesome...it's clear so you can't see it even through something as delicate as lace.

I forgot to take a photo of this last step but I used more Scor-tape on the backside of my rosette wheels after I embellished them with buttons and trim and then adhered them to the lower part of my carriage. The rest is pure creative play...adding all the trims, brads etc to finish off the carriage. 

I mentioned earlier that I created a mini tag album for the carriage...I thought this would be a cute way to show off some adorable photos. 

I seriously had so much fun putting my own touch on this baby carriage. I encourage you to check out the amazing projects that are posted in the Scor-pal Projects Section and try one out and put your own twist on it..it's lots of fun!!

Thanks for stopping by the Scor-pal blog and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project. 

Happy Crafting!!

Flower Pot Pocket Card by Lisa Andrews

Hello! Lisa Andrews here and I am so glad you stopped by today!  Today I am featuring my own little twist on the Flower Pot Pocket Card.  It's very fussy and fancy, but that is just how I like it!

Supplies:

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

Memory Box Heart Die

Memory Box LaRue Heart Die

Fancy Pants patterned paper

Wild Orchid Craft lace and flower

Start with a piece of card stock that measures 3 1/2" x 7 3/4", score at 3 1/4" (valley fold) and 6 1/2" (mountain fold).  Then fold as follows:

Next, I used a heart die from Memory Box for the "flower pot" part of my card.

I used a Scor-Tape Sheet and the LaRue Heart from Memory Box for the filigree pattern on the front of the heart.

Next I went crazy decorating with all sorts of hearts, some lace and ribbon and some sparkly paper!

Thanks for stopping by!

Double pocket criss-cross card by Virginia Nebel

Hello, Virginia here. Today I would like to share with you my open double pocket criss-cross card.  The multiple pockets make this a fun card to tuck in extra messages or gift cards.

This is a variation of the criss-cross card found on Scorpal's website.

Supplies: Simple Stories pattern paper, Bazzil kraft card stock, The Twinery twine, Scor-tape, Scor-pal tool, EK success circle/border punches.

To create the double pocket criss cross card:

1. Take two 11 x 5.5 card stock pieces and score each in half at 5.5 inches.  Take one piece, cut the left flap on the diagonal and on the 2nd piece, cut the right flap on the diagonal. 

2. Take one of the triangle and place it onto the middle flap offest about 1/4 inch from the bottom and the spine and trace the 'v' line at the top.   Repeat for the other side.

3. Cut the 'v' at the top and glue the flap down with adhesive on the sides and bottom to form a pocket.

4. Cross the outside flaps with adhesive along the bottom edge to create the 2nd pocket.

5. Decorate and add tags.

Butterfly Shadow Box by Lisa Silver

Hello.  It's Lisa today with a shadow box project.  I found this lovely gem by Selma Stevenson on the Scor-Pal site and was inspired to try my hand at one.  Of course, while I'm at it, I thought I'd show you how easy it is to replicate the project too!

Supplies:

Tools: Scor-Pal scoring board in inches, Scor-tool and Scor-Tape

Stamps: Cover-a-card Gradation by Impression Obsession, "thanks" sentiment by Paper Smooches

Ink: Espresso Truffle and Desert Sand Memento dye inks by Tsukineko

Paper: Whip Cream Pop-Tone, Tangy Orange Pop-Tone and Hot Fudge Pop-Tone (all 100#), Straw 110# by DiscountCardstock.com

Other: Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Grass, Ripe Persimmon and Fired Brick Distress inks, Glass Effects Gel in Crystal Clear and Ice White pearl pen by Viva Decor, Mister Huey's Calico White spray by Studio Calico, waterbrush by Niji

Dies: Labels 28 by Spellbinder, butterflies (Darla and Vivienne) and Honey blossom Sprig by Memory Box

So, let's get started.

STEP 1: Trim 2 x 5.5" squares from Straw cardstock.  Score along both sides as outlined below in the template, using your Scor-Pal and Scor-Tool.

STEP 2: Select a die and cut a window into one of the scored pieces of paper.

It's easiest to cut the window with the score marks in place, as you can visualize where the window should be placed.  Use repositionable tape (painter's tape is a favorite of mine) to hold your die in place.  Do this step before folding along the score lines so it will fit in your die cutting machine and be less likely to shift.

STEP 3: Fold along the score lines using your Scor-Tool to create your shadow box base.

STEP 4: Using the base of the card as your guide, trim a piece of cream cardstock to 3.25" x 5.25". 

Stamp an image on the piece.  Dry embossing or a tone-on-tone die cuts would also be lovely.

STEP 5: Die cut images to embellish your card.

The flower image was die cut from cream cardstock and various Distress Stains were used to color.  To make it easier to add color to the delicate die cut, leave the flower in place on the original piece of cardstock and add ink to color.  The butterfly base was die cut from orange cardstock.  To give the butterfly an ombre effect, I used Distress stains and a bit of water to blend.

Glass Effects were added over the entire floral image and the die-cut butterfly.  The edges will curl a bit, but it helps protect the delicate edges of the flower.

Other options are creating felt or paper flowers, stamped images or stickers.

STEP 6: Complete your card.  Stamp a sentiment to the background of your card.  Use the window front of the card to determine the best placement.

Adhere the top of the card base to the bottom with Scor-tape.  Add the embellishment die cuts.

Add sprays and dots of pearl pen to complete your card. 

Thank you for visiting today!

Explosion Box by Lori Williams

Supply List: Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, Fancy Pants Designs Hopscotch Collection, Card Stock, Cheery Lynn Dies, Prima Flowers, KasierCraft Flowers, Stickles, Ink, Tags, Ribbon, Stamps

Hi Everyone, it's Lori here today with you.  I don't know about you but I've always wanted to try an explosion box but I really thought they were to difficult.  Funny how wrong one can be.  This was actually pretty darn easy and so much fun to make.  I'd love to show you how and hope you'll create your own little explosion. I used this tutorial for my inspiration.

Step 1: Cut two 9 inch card stock squares,  cut one 5 1/8" square card stock.  Cut four 2 7/8" square designer paper, cut 8 2 3/4  square designer papers for interior

Step 2: Score one of your 9 inch squares at 3" and 6 ", turn your paper 90 degrees and score again at 3 " and 9".  This will create a grid.  You'll want to do this on both of your 9 inch card stock squares.

Step 3: Score each of your corner squares diagonally and fold.  Fold inward as this is going to help create your box.  TIP: I find using the 6" mark on my Scor-pal makes this easy as there is a marking at the bottom of your Scor-pal that will help ensure you have it lined up correctly. 

Step 4: Using your Scor-tape apply your outside squares ( 2 7/8" ) to the base box.

Step 5: Cut four of your 2 3/4 squares in half and tape to inside of your explosion box along the ridges.

Step 6:  On your second 9 inch square cardstock cut the outer corner squares off as shown above.  Fold and crease.

Step 7: Tape your remaining square card stock pieces to the just cut cross/9 inch piece.  You can also decorate the base center with designer card too.

Step 8: Score your 5 1/8" square at 1 inch on all sides. Cut a slit in where all the black marks are shown above.  Fold and crease.

Step 9: Tape your flaps to the inside of the box top creating your top.  

Now the really fun part decorate as desired.
