Scor-Pal Challenge Time! Halloween/Fall

Hi everyone!!  Today we have a new challenge at Scor-Pal.  Our theme this month is Halloween or Fall.  I chose to make a Halloween cascade card. 

I started with a sheet of black card stock 12" x 6 ".  The lowest point of the card is 2 3/4" from the bottom.  I then cut a diagonal on the top.  Next, score at 4" and 8".

My fences were cut from the Cricut cartridge, Paper Doll Dress Up.  I also used dies from Memory Box, tree branch and ghosts.  The sentiment is from Magnolia.  I also used an acrylic ghost that I picked up when Archiver's went out of business, I am not sure what brand it was.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you join in our challenge!

Witches Hat...with a surprise inside!

Today is Day 2 of week full of tutorials over at Scor-Pal.  I decided to make a witches hat that holds all of magic of Halloween's past.  

Project recipe:

Various Halloween themed designer paper

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

lots of Halloween embellishments

black tulle

ribbon

Wild Orchid flowers

Chipboard

black card stock

white card stock (for making a template)

We need to start by making our template for the top of the witches hat (by the way....this would make a great Santa's hat also!).  I created a triangle that is 8 1/2" tall and 4" wide at the base.  Trace one triangle onto a piece of 12" x 12" piece of card stock.  Then trace a triangle on each side and create a 1/2" lip on each side.  Trace one more free standing triangle.

Trace your template onto black card stock, score and cut out.  Adhere 1/8" score-tape to the lips on each side and attach free standing triangle.

You will now have a square cone that will be the top of the witches hat.  Decorate all nice and fancy.

Next, create a box for the inside of the hat that measures 5 3/4" square, score 1" on each side to create a box that will hold an accordion of photos.

Now we will create the accordion that will hold your photos.  Cut four strips of paper 3 5/8" x 11", score one side at 3 5/8", turn the paper over and on the opposite side of the first score, score again at 3 5/8".  You will have a strip of paper with a mountain score on one side and a valley score on the other.   3 5/8" is where the first arrow is on the top fence of your Scor-Pal.  Attach the four strips together, as shown above to create an accordion.

Attach the accordion to the inside of the square box.

The brim of the witches hat is a 10 1/2" circle cut from chipboard.  I painted the circle with Distress Ink, Black Soot.  I attached black tulle in a circle to the chipboard and then attached the box on top of that.

I hope you enjoyed my project.   Stop by Scor-Pal all this week to see what the other designer have created!

Next, turn your paper so that the 7" side against the top fence and score at 1 1/2" and 5 1/2".

Using a straight edge (I used a strip of paper), line it up at the 3 1/2" mark on the left fence and score at 3/4" and 6 1/4" down to the straight edge.  Turn your paper to the opposite side and repeat.

Next, cut notches as shown below.

Riley - Prima Doll

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing with you my newest passion.  Prima Dolls by Julie Nutting.  I saw these and just fell in love with them.  Today's doll is "Riley".  She has such a cute and sassy outfit on I just couldn't pass her up.

I used the Julie Nutting Tag Pad - Hancock Park for the tags and also Riley's cloths.  I colored her with copic markers.  My friend, Maggie, found the gorgeous vintage lace at an antique shop and was kind enough to share with me!  I also used Magnolia Doo-Hickey tag, Magnolia Swirl Butterfly and Memory Box Leaf Die.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project!

Monochromatic Scor-Pal Project - April Challenge

Hi everyone!  Thanks for joining me today.  Scor-Pal has a new challenge for April, Monochromatic. Now you don't have to make a project, a card is good too, it just has to be one color family.

Here is my project.  I made a tea bag holder similar to an accordian file folder holder.

The size of my tea holder is 3" x 4".

To begin, cut two pieces of chip board 3" x 4", cover with a piece of designer paper, here I used a dark brown paper.   Cover the inside of the two pieces of

chip board with matching designer paper.

Next, the accordion piece on the bottom, it is made from a piece of card stock 2 3/4" x 1 3/4", score every 1/2" with the 1 3/4" side on the top fence, turn the paper over and score with the 1 3/4" side on the top fence again, every 1/2".  This will create a mountain and valley score pattern.  Attach this to the bottom of the two pieces of covered chip board.

Now we will create the envelopes for the inside.  Using vellum, cut four pieces 6" x 4 1/2".  With the 6" side along the top fence, score at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".  Turn the paper so that the 4 1/2" side is along the top fence, score at 1 1/4".  Like below.

Next, cut the corner, as shown to create the envelope and attach 1/4" Scor-Tape as shown.

Close the bottom flap up and adhere the sides.  Cut a 1" circle on the top of the envelope to create a notch.  Create four and attach them together with a strip of Scor-Tape down the center.  Attach the chip board pieces to the front and back and decorate as you wish. 

For my decoration I made a rosette.  I cut a piece of designer paper 1" x 12" and scored every 1/2" mountain and valley style.  I also used Heart Swirl die from Magnolia Doohickey.

I hope you enjoyed my project today, I had lots of fun creating it!
