Card Recipe:
Image - Easter Bunny Freebie from Pink Gem
Medium - Copic Markers
Sentiment and Stickers - Hobby Lobby
Grass Die - Accucut
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Adhesive - Scor-Tape

Start with a 12" by 4" piece of cardstock, scored at 6" on the long side.

On the inside draw an egg shape for the card. I used a circle die to create the curves and then cut out with scissors.

On the flaps left at the base scored at 1/2" to create a stand for the card.

From a piece of cardstock 3" long score at 1/2" and 2" to create a hinge for added stability to help the card stand.

Attach the hinge as shown using Scor-Tape.

Decorate the card as desired. I used corrugated cardstock and die cut the grass and the Scor-Tape was perfect to hold the thicker materials

Hello again Crafty Friends!  We are back with another set of Quick and Easy cards.  This time we have Easter on the brain.  I have created a quick and easy Double Z Fold card.  With a total of six scores, you are on your way to fancy folded card.

For this card, you will need:

• Scor-Pal
• Scor-Tape
• 4" x 12" piece of card stock
• 2 1 3/4" x 3 3/4" pieces of designer paper
• 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" piece of designer paper
• 1" x 9" piece of card stock
• Matching card stock scraps for die cutting
• Stamps
• Ink/Copic Markers
• Spellbinders Standard Circle & Lacey Circle dies
• Dimensional Adhesive 

Place the 4" by 12"piece of card stock into the Scor-Pal with the 12" side of the card stock against the top fence.  Score at 2", 4", 8" and 10".

Fold in both ends on the 4" and 8" score lines.

Fold both ends out on the 2" and 10" score lines.

To create what will be a belly band for the card, place the 1" by 9" piece of card stock into the Scor-Pal.  With the 9" side of the card stock against the top fence, score at 2 1/4" and 6 1/4".

Apply Scor-Tape on the far right end of the belly band as pictured below.

Decorate the front panels of the Double Z Fold card with designer paper and then place belly band under the card and wrap left side over first.  

Remove the adhesive backing from the Scor-Tape and fold right side of the belly band over the top.

Add stamped die cut to front of the belly band.

Finish the inside with another stamped die cut.

Hi, everyone! Today I have a quick and easy Easter card with a fun background design.  

This background isn't hard at all!  Let me show you how I did it.

First, cut your card stock to 5 1/2" x 9" and score 2 1/4" in on both sides as shown below.

Fold both sides in at the score lines to create your card base.

With a pencil, draw a line from the center of one side to the nearest scored line.  Then, using a ruler, line up one corner of the card base to the point where the pencil line meets the scored line, and score.  

From here, score every half inch in that section.

Do the same on the other section for each side of the card.

Here is what the background looks when completed.

From here you can decorate as desired!  I added some Spellbinder's dies and flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Quick and Easy Easter Cards with Diane Zechman

Good morning! This week the Scor-Pal team is sharing some ideas for Quick & Easy Easter cards. Today I have a card that may look time consuming at first glance but I assure you it is both quick and easy!


I used the Grid Technique to create my card. First I started with a 4x4 square of white cardstock and scored it diagonally in both directions every 1/2" to create the grid. The finished scored background will look like this.



Next I stamped my images over the same side, with the indented grooves. The ink will not stamp in the scored areas.



Then I colored select areas with Copic markers. Be sure to avoid coloring in the scored lines. Trim the panel if desired and finish the card.



Be sure to check out all the inspiration this week on the Scor-Pal blog to jumpstart your Easter card creations!

Quick and Easy Holiday Cards with Toni Storie

Hello Crafty Friends!  We are in December and it's time to whip up some quick holiday cards.  There's nothing like your Scor-Pal to get the job done with some pizazz.  Today, I am featuring a Z Fold card.  This card has a different fold than your regular card to make it that much more memorable!

For this card, you will need:

• Scor-Pal
• Scor-Tape
• 4 1/4" x 11" piece of card stock
• 2 5/8" x 4 1/8" piece of designer paper
• 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" piece of designer paper. 
• Matching card stock scraps for die cutting
• Stamps
• Ink
• Assorted dies (snowflakes, rounded scallop frame and rounded rectangle)
• Embellishments

Place the 4 1/4" by 11" piece of card stock into your Scor-Pal with the 11" side against the top fence.  Score at 5 1/2". 

Flip your card stock over and with the 11" side still against the top fence of the Scor-Pal, score at 2 3/4".

Crease all of your folds to create the "Z" shaped card base.

At this step, you could go crazy with embellishments or you can keep it simple.  I die cut and sponged five small snowflakes.  Then I die cut a rounded scallop frame and two rounded rectangles.  I quickly stamped the two rounded rectangles with a snowflake background and sentiments.  I adhered the patterned paper to my card base with some Scor-Tape.  Next, I matted the rounded rectangle on the rounded scallop frame and adhered only the left side of the rectangle to the top of my "Z".  Then, I added rhinestones to each snowflake and popped them up with some dimensional adhesive.  Finally, I adhered the second rounded rectangle to the bottom of my "Z" so that it hides neatly behind the top rounded scallop frame.

This completes my quick and easy holiday card for today!  Here's one more photo of it closed and in my flower frog. 

Here's to a wonderfully creative day.  Thank you for stopping by!

Quick and Easy Holiday Cards with Lisa Andrews

Today we have a Quick and Easy card from Lisa.

 

Christmas is just around the corner and making a quick and easy card could never be easier!

Here is how I made my gatefold card.

First I started with a piece of card stock 4" x 8", a piece of designer paper 3 3/4" x 3 3/4", a memory box die cut from a sparkly glitter paper and a piece of designer cut with Spellbinders Nestibilities Label 16 Die, my Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape and a sparkly gem from Stampin Up!

Score the card stock at 4" and 6" to create your gatefold. 

Next, cut the piece of designer paper in half so you have two pieces that are 1 7/8" x 3 3/4".  Attach them to the front of the card with Scor-Tape.  Add the Label, sentiment, Snowflake die and gem and you have a nice and easy Christmas card ready for the giving!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season!!

Quick and Easy Holiday Cards with Katie Tate

Today it is my turn, Katie from Both Sides of The Paper to share a Quick and Easy Holiday card project with you.
Hopefully if you are in a jam and need to make a few quick extra cards this could help you.
I used not only the fabulous Scor-Pal and Scor-Tape but also a few dies from the wonderful selection that Diana carries in her Magnolia-Licious Store
This card can be made in minutes, mails in a regular invitation sized envelope and can easily be adapted to die styles you have on hand.

Card Recipe:
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Adhesive - Scor-Tape
Sentiment - Clearly Sentimental About Christmas by My Favorite Things
Border Die - Carnivale by Cheery Lynn Designs
Christmas Tree Die Cut - Elyse Christmas Tree by Memorybox
Circle Die - Jubliee Circle by Memorybox

The card base is simply an 8 1/2" by 11" sheet of Kraft cardstock cut in half to make it 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" (so you can get 2 cards from one sheet of cardstock)
Score at the 4 1/4" mark on the long side and burnish the fold.

Create a border by scoring on the front panel at 1/4" and 1/2" on all 4 sides (the photo shows where I scored at 1/2", I added the additional score line after thinking it needed a little more)
TIP : Score from the INSIDE of the front panel to create a raised edge or the OUTSIDE to create a debossed frame.

Now it is simply a case of decorating. I used a piece of patterned paper measuring 3" by 4 1/4" that fits in the scored frame.

I attached it Scor-Tape and the 1/4" size works great for the edge of the border die.

The dies cut easily through glittered paper, saving a step as the sparkle is already on the card!

Finally I added a sentiment.

I hope you can see the scored lines on the card, I took a close up to show it as well as I could.

This was a super easy card, great to make "production line style" and cheap to mail too.
I hope you have been enjoying these projects and be on the lookout for more to come.
