Winter Inspired Wrap Box


Welcome all!  Today I have a beautifully inspired winter wrap box to share with you that holds something to warm your insides.

Supplies:

Little Yellow Bicycle - Winterings
card stock
sliver glimmer paper
teresa collins Christmas cottage rhinestone medallion
Spellbinder pearl heart

Tools:

Scor-Pal
Scor-Tape
Martha Stewart punches
Memory Box snowflake die


To start, cut a piece of cardstock 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and punch around the outside with a Martha Stewart border snowflake punch.  This is the dark blue base of the box



Create a box using a light blue piece of card stock measuring 8 1/2" x 8 1/2".  Score at 2" on all sides to create your box.  For the lid, cut a piece of light blue card stock 5 1/2" x 12".  With the long edge on the top fence, score at 4 1/2", 6 1/2" and 11".  Turn the paper so that the short edge is on the top fence and score at 1/2" and 5".  It should like the picture below.


Now cut as shown below:


Here is the lid and the base of the box:



Attach the lid to the box using Scor-Tape making sure that the bottom of the box is attached to the bottom of the lid piece on the outside.


Now we are going to create our "wrap" pieces.  Cut a piece of white card stock 3" x 12", punch both sides with a Martha Stewart snowflake border punch and a row of snowflakes using a Martha Stewart punch.  I used a contrasting piece of Little Yellow Bicycle Winterings paper behind the circle snowflakes. 


Attach one of the snowflake strips to the bottom, back and top of the box with Scor-Tape.


Attach the remaining snowflake strip to the bottom of the box with Scor-Tape, leaving the front edge and top free.  I hot glued the medallion to the top leaving the bottom half of the medallion free from hot glue.  This is where you tuck the other part of the "wrap" under.  Attach the box to the snowflake base we created in the first step.

Add a little something inside to warm you up on a cold winter's day!


I hope you have a wonderfully warm day!!

Scor-Pal and Fancy Pants

Everyone loves a party! This year for New Years, we are going to a game night with the kids and I wanted to bring along a little something for the adults.

Here is the supplies I used:

a sheet of acetate
Fancy Pants Country Boutique Collection Kit
Magnolia Tag and Swirly Heart Die
Spellbinder Die
Martha Stewart punch
Maya Roads fabric flowers


Here is a close up of the top and the tag that I made


and the label on the bottom


First start with a piece of 9" x 9" black corrugated paper, score at 3" and 6" and turn the paper 90 degrees and score again at 3" and 6". 



Adhere the box together using Scor-Tape.


The next photo is a little hard to see because it is the acetate.  Cut a piece of acetate 11" x 10", score 1/2, 3 3/4", 6 1/2 and 9 1/2"  make sure you score them really well, it will be easier to fold them.  For the back piece cut a piece of acetate 2 7/8" x 11".


Fold the box together as shown below.


Using Scor-Tape secure the acetate to the corrugated box. 


For the top, use a 5" x 5" piece of paper and score 1" on each side.


To make a circle in the middle for the wine bottle to peak out of, use a cutting template and cut a circle in the middle.  I used Creative Memories cutting system using the #4 circle with the red blade.


Now decorate to make it look festive!
Happy New Year!

Coordinations & Scor-Pal


Hi Everyone!!  This week  Scor-Pal is hopping along with Core'dinations to bring you a fun filled week of great projects! 

Lisa A. here, today I made a simply and easy gift card holder and vintage looking snowman gift tags for your last minute gifts.  These would be great for teacher gifts, secret santa gifts or for anyone on your gift lists!   I also made a quick card.

Supplies:

Core'dinations Vintage card stock
white and sparkly red card stock
Scor-Tape
Scor-Pal
Hot Glue
black jewels
various punches and embossing folders




Let's start with the gift card holder.  I saw this idea for a gift card holder at a scrapbook store here in town and went home to make one of my own right away!


Start with a piece of 5 1/2" x 6 3/4" core'dinations vintage red, score at 1 1/2" on each side.


Assemble box with Scor-Tape


For the top start with a white piece of card stock 5 3/4" x 4 1/2", punch around the edges, you really don't need to be perfect with this since you will fold the sides in to create the top of the box.  Score at 1" on all sides.  Using a punch, punch a snowflake on the left bottom of the lid.  Assemble the top using Scor-Tape.


Cut a piece of sparkly card stock 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" and adhere to the underside of the snowflake.


Next, we are going to make the snowman rosette.  Using a 1 1/2" x 12" piece of vintage Core-dinations card stock, score every 1/2", turn the card stock over and score again starting at 1/4" and every 1/2" from there.  Fold the card stock into an accordian, using the indented score mark as your mountains and raised up score mark as your valley.  Attach the end of the card stock together with Scor-Tape. 



Using a 1 3/4" punch, punch a circle and hot glue it to the back of the rosette.


For the snowman's hat, use a 1 3/4" x 6" piece of vintage black Core'dinations card stock and score every 1/2", turn the card stock over and score again starting at 1/4" and every 1/2" from there.  Fold the card stock into an accordian, using the indented score mark as your mountains and raised up score mark as your valley. 


Gather the bottom of the card stock together and hot glue to the snowman's head.


Using a piece of vintage black Core'dinations card stock, cut a piece 3/4" wide for the brim of the hat.  Don't forget to sand all of the edges with sandpaper to give it that vintage look.  Cut a carrot nose out of vintage orange Core'dinations card stock and adhere it to your snowman.  Add black jewels for eyes.  Repeat three times for three tags.  Don't forget to stamp a message on the back!


Now we are going to make a little gift box for your gift tags.  Starting with an 8 1/2" x 6 1/2"  piece of vintage green Core'dinations card stock, score 2 1/2" on all sides.  Cut 1 3/4" from the corners as shown below.


Punch a snowflake on the front of the box.


Sand your edges and adhere box together with Scor-Tape.


Thanks for joining us this week.  I hope you got a lot of inspiration to make to homemade this year!

Scor-Pal & Hampton Art

Good Morning!  Welcome to the Scor-Pal & Hampton Art Blog Hop.  I hope you have had fun with this weeks' projects.



Today Lisa has provided us with a Trifold Pocket Card.  We all love a little mischief in our lives but sometimes even the littlest things causes so much havoc.  Instead of yelling and getting upset, grab your camera for that special Kodak moment and make a card that someone will truly never forget!  Isn't it just so adorable how the dog is peaking out of the top of the card?

Supplies:

My Minds Eye designer paper
Creamy Brown Fluid Chalk
Hampton Art Stamps:  Woodlands, Sunbathing and My Goal In Life
Shrink paper
Staz-On black ink
colored pencils
Scor-Pal
Scor-Tape
Hemp


Lisa used THIS tutorial for her card.  It is super simple and quick to make.  

Start with an 8 x 8 1/2" piece of designer paper, line the 8 1/2" side up with the top fence of your Scor-Pal, score at 2 1/4" and 6 1/4".  Turn the paper 90 degrees and score at 2 1/2", this will be the bottom of the card.  On the top of the card round the corners, note: I used my Scor-Tape to round the corners.  Cut the small rectangles out from the bottom of the card.  Fold both sides in and then the bottom flap up and secure with a belly band.  For the belly band, cut a piece of matching designer paper 2 1/4" x 8 1/2" and adhere it together on the back after you wrapped it around your card.  Lisa distressed all of   the edges with Creamy Brown Fluid Chalk.  She used an 5" x 7" picture for the inside and cut it down to fit inside the pocket and then matted with a piece of card stock.

For the sentiment tag, Lisa used a Spellbinder nestables.  She first stamped the sentiment, My Goal In Life and then stamped Woodlands with Versa Mark and embossed it with clear embossing powder and then carefully inked the edges and paper with Creamy Brown Fluid Chalk to give it an aged, distressed look.

Lisa used Shrinky Dink paper to stamp Sunbathing on with black Staz-On ink. Note: let ink dry completely before coloring with colored pencils.  Punch a hole where you want the tag to be secured from and then shrink with your heat embossing tool, making sure to push the edges down to create a flat tag.  It is best to have another person to help you with this.  Attach tag to your card using hemp.


Glad you stopped by today and we hope that you will give this TriFold Pocket Card a try
