Cut the bottom 2" square panels up to the 2" mark and fold along scored marks. Trim off bottom right tab and add Scor-tape to where you will be forming the box (I also used a heart die to make a heart shaped window in my box).

Our first project this week comes from Scor-pal Designer Lori Williams

Products Used: Scor-Pal, Scor Tape, Fancy Pants Hopscotch Card Stock, Card Stock, Stamps, Donna Salzar Ink, KaiserCraft Flower, Spellbinders Dies, Velcro Tabs and corner rounder

There is nothing like a last minute gift, and gift cards are perfect.  Today I'm going to share a simple project with you that will really take your gift cards to the next level. 

Step 1: Cut a piece of card stock 4 1/2 x 10 inches and score at the 3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch and 8 inch mark. 

Step 2: Fold as shown below and use your Scor-Pal Tool to make the edges crisp. 

Step 3: Round the corners on the outside edges

Step 4:  Cut the following designer card stock pieces and corner round your end pieces 

(4)  4 x 2 3/4 

(2) 4 x 1 3/4 

(2) 4 x 3/4

Note: this will decorate the outside and the interior of the wallet

Step 5: Flip your wallet over the the outside and apply a line of Scor-Pal Tape to the very bottom of the score line between the small peaks that are going to form where the gift card sits. Apply the to peaks together. 

Step 6 : Flip back over to the interior and use a Spellbinders Die to line up just on the edges of the small pop up flap.  This will make a slit for your card to sit in and when the wallet is opened the gift card will flip up.  TIP: if the die doesn't cut all the way through just trim it up with scissors as the score line will be embossed enough. 

Step 7: Slip your gift card in the open notch

Step 8 : Apply velcro tabs to the flap of you wallet to open and close.  If you don't have velcro tabs you could easily use ribbon or twine to close the wallet. 

Decorate your wallet as desired and give away with love!!!!

I made some quick and easy last minute gifts with Fancy Pants' Hopscotch papers (absolutely fun prints!) that would be perfect when you need a "little something" for a coworker or friend. The folded papers hold 2 cookies and one or two tea bags. I chose to add a teabag in one side and a little tag in the other to write a short note.

   

 The original design is by Debi Pippin and can be found here. Another tutorial with pictures can be seen here. (In step 3 of that tutorial, ignore the 6" score as it must be a typo). I took a few photos along the way as well... Start with an 8 1/2 x 12 inch piece of double sided patterned paper. Using a Scor-Pal, score the 8 1/2 side @ 2 1/2 and 6.

Next score the 12" side @ 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 5, 7, 9 1/2, and 10 3/4.

Crease all scored lines and unfold. Next you will cut 2 rectangular sections from each corner (cut a 2 1/2" square from each corner) to look like this...  

Now score the 4 center corners diagonally before folding them in.

After folding the center corners, it will look like this.

Fold the top and bottom in. They will overlap each other a bit. I added a bit of glue here but it's really not necessary.

 

Flip the paper over and fold the scored lines to look like this...

When cutting the "tag shape" on the top, first fold the top flap down on each side. I added a bit of adhesive underneath. Then I measured 3/4" in from each end and made a mark.  

 Then cut both sides to look like this. Punch 2 holes at the top to tie a ribbon through.  

 Decorate and fill as desired. I used some adorable Magnolia Minis from the Magnolialicious store.

   

 A view from the side... fill a 4x6 cello bag with 2 cookies, add a twist tie to the top, and insert so the baggie is between the ribbon tied at the top.  

 And here's the back... I added a tag but you could add a second teabag here. Some Fancy Pants stickers adorn the tags.

   

 The buttons are also from the Fancy Pants Hopscotch line, as well as the "believe" banner and "peace" sticker.

Our first project this week comes from Scor-pal Designer Jennie Harper

I am excited that Scor-Pal and Fancy Pants Designs are teaming up to bring this fun Blog Week! Today I wanted to share a Bread Box I made using Mary Jo Beth Williams' tutorial found here.

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Fancy Paper Designs Country Boutique

Card Stock: Gina K. Designs

Sentiment: SRM Stickers

Die: Spellbinders

Bling: Want2Scrap

Twine: The Twinery

Tool: Scor-Pal scoring board

Adhesive: Scor-Tape and Foam Dots

Place your 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock at the 3/4" mark on a Scor-Pal and score at 3 1/2". Turn and repeat on all 4 sides. Then align card stock to the left side of the Scor-pal and score at 1/2" on all 4 sides.

Cut the corner tabs that measure 1/2" x 2 3/4 and fold along score lines. Trim along score lines (on the sides) to the center rectangle base of the box.

Add patterned paper to outside of the box.

Using Scor-Tape attach the sides and form a box, folding flaps down.

Then simply create a band and decorate:

These would be perfect for a neighbor, co-worker, or a friend. Thanks for checking out my project and hope you will give it a try!!!

Hey everyone...today I have a really fun & festive project to share with all of you using the gorgeous Home For Christmas collection from Fancy Pants and my ever handy Scor-pal.

When I saw the Home For Christmas collection I knew right away I wanted to make something to decorate my home for the holidays. I created a holiday banner from some paper cones I made using my Scor-pal. 

Products used:

Fancy Pants Home For Christmas collection

Scor-tape

Scor-pal

Vintage lace/muslin

Glitter letters

Distress Ink-Frayed Burlap

Bling

After selecting the papers I wanted to use for my banner, I cut the 5 pieces of card stock to 8 1/2 x 8 1/2.

Next I placed the paper on the diagonal on my Scor-pal and made a score mark down the center...

Fold along your score line then flatten out your paper....

The next step is to create your fold down flap. Measure 4" from the both sides of one corner and make a light pencil mark. 

Place your paper back on your Scor-pal and score along the line you just lightly drew. 

Next you're going to score from the top right edge of your flap to the bottom point of your paper. My pen indicates the bottom point and the scor-tool indicates the top right edge...

This next photo shows the score marks a little better since it's a solid piece of paper...

You'll repeat this same step for the other side of your paper. Fold on all of your score lines and your paper cone will look like this...

Use some Scor-tape on the inside edge of your paper. I inked all of my edges before I assembled the paper cones, it's much easier when the paper is flat. 

Now you have your first cone completed and you can easily assemble the rest.

I added some vintage lace to the underside of my flap for an added vintage/shabby touch using some more Scor-tape...

Next I made some rosettes by cutting some of the patterned paper into 1 1/2" strips. I placed it on my Scor-pal and scored at every 1/2" mark...

To create rosettes just fan fold on your score marks...adhere them together and place the rosette on a piece of circular card stock or chipboard that's been covered in adhesive...I used Scor-tape of course : )

Now you've completed all of the components for your banner project and the fun begins...decorating and embellishing the banner. This is always my favorite part as you can just let the creativity flow.

This is the first thing you see when you walk into my foyer and I just love how the banner frames my family photo...

Thanks for checking out my holiday themed banner project. I hope I've inspired you to pick up some of the Home For Christmas paper collection from Fancy Pants, break out your Scor-pal and get started on your own home holiday decor.
