Scor-Pal Blog Hop: Christmas Cards Ideas + Idea Book & FPD Goodies Giveaway

Hi everyone! Welcome to the fourth day in our blog hop with Scor-Pal. I hope you are having a fantastic December so far! Today, I am sharing some Christmas cards I made with the Home for Christmas collection. I also used my Scor-Pal and some Scor-Tape. There's still some time left to make cards for neighbors or friends if you want to.  ;) 

Have A Very Merry Christmas
I used my Scor-Pal and made random scores on my card and then sanded them down to create a fun background. I used the Scor-Tape on the left side of my card and then added glitter to it, a very easy way to add glitter to your projects. That stamped tree was the perfect finishing touch to my card. 

Merry Christmas
I LOVED the houses in the Home For Christmas brag pad, I just knew I wanted to use them on a card.  I used my Scor-Pal to make a corrugated border to place under the cute houses. 

Christmas
If you've seen much of my work then you know that I LOVE the stencil cards! This time I tried adding it to my card directly as is...no ink and no missing letters. I love it! And the Scor-Tape works perfectly to keep all the letters together simply by placing a strip behind the whole thing. The Scor-Tape also works wonderful with ribbon...so easy!

Scor-Pal Blog Hop: Holiday Card + Idea Book & FPD Goodies Giveaway

Today, I am showing you how to use the Scor-Buddy by Scor-Pal to make a dress look more texturized.  Using the "Home for Christmas" collection, I am making a few Christmas cards for a few special people in my life. 

Fancy Pants Designs supplies:
Home for Christmas: Patterned papers
Home for Christmas: Sticker Fundamentals
Ball trim

Other supplies:
Scor-Pal: Scor-Buddy

Instructions:
1.  Cut out the silhouette of the woman. Turn the silhouette over and use a pencil to draw the lines as shown.


3.  With the lines as a guide, score the lines. When you turn the silhouette over, you can clearly see the scored lines.


5.  Add a fun belt using Fancy Pants Designs ball trims.


6.  Score the back side of a piece of background paper for the card as shown. 


7.  Score a second piece of background paper for the card.


8.  Cut out a present to put atop of the platter. Assemble the elements together. Use Fancy Pants Designs Stickers Fundamentals for sentiment. 

I made two versions of the cards that you can see. The scored effect looks much more pronounced in the photography using on the solid color paper. I hope this has been helpful and give you an idea on how to use the Scor-Buddy by Scor-Pal.

We hope you are enjoying all of the project inspiration this week. Remember to leave a comment on this post (and every Scor-Pal Blog Hop post this week) for a chance to win some Fancy Pants Designs goodies and the Score, Fold, Create! book pictured below.

Scor-Pal Blog Hop: Journaling Card & Gift Box + Idea Book & FPD Goodies Giveaway

I am so excited to be part of the Scor-Pal blog hop! I was not very familiar with this product until now and I love it! I had so much fun working on my projects! I created a fun journaling card {or gift tag/gift card holder} and a gift card box!

The journaling card was made using one of our Friday Freebie patterns, found HERE!
 
I printed the free pdf file onto some cream paper from our Home For Christmas collection. I trimmed the bottom area off and used my Scor-pal Scor-Buddy to score along the dotted lines. 


Then, I cut it out according to the pattern to attach the pocket to the card (also part of the pdf file).


Then, using my Scor-Tape, I added it to the scored parts of my card pocket and adhered to the card.


Last, I fancied up the front of the card pocket with some of our Home For Christmas patterned papers, layered stickers, and made a fun 'junk bow' with a mix of ribbons and papers!  I also added some text and design to the included library card!  This is a perfect little journaling piece, gift tag or great for tucking a holiday or git card in...whatever you like!


And, on to the gift card box! It seems like more and more I end up buying gift cards for the holidays and I always feel like it's so impersonal--even if it isn't :)...so, when I saw the gift card holder box in the Scor-Pal book, Score, Fold, Create! I knew I had to make a few to really personalize the gift cards I was giving and I'm so happy with the result...and, it really was easy!! I simply followed the instructions included in Score, Fold, Create! and within 30 minutes had a fancy gift box complete with a little ribbon pull on the drawer! The gift card fits perfectly inside! I embellished the box with more of our Home For Christmas collection!

Thanks for joining us again today.

Jing-Jing Nickel will be here tomorrow morning and Pamela Young will be here tomorrow afternoon with more great projects using Scor-Pal and Fancy Pants Designs.
