Hi everyone!  I am so happy that Scor-Pal and Die Cuts With a View has teamed up to bring you a fabulous Blog Hop!  Their new line, Autumn Splendor is just gorgeous!  Along with my post today, I will be featuring projects used from the line all week long on my blog.  I am so happy that fall is finally here.  We have had both beautiful fall days and crisp fall days here in Colorado.  That means that snow is not far away!

Of course, if you missed any of the great projects from this week, just scroll down to see what has been going on.  Be sure to leave some love on each post for a chance to win some great prizes.

OK, onto my project.  Believe it or not, this project only takes about 30 minutes to complete!  Yup, you read right, 30 minutes!  I am going on a scrapbooking/crafting retreat in a few weeks and decided to make these little note cards and holders for the girls.

Here is what you need to get started:

2 pieces of cardstock to match designer paper(Autumn Spendor cardstock) DCWV

1 piece of cream cardstock

1 piece of designer paper from Autumn Splendor, DCWV

punch

monogram stamp to emboss

Ribbon to match

Lacy ribbon

Scor-Pal

paper trimmer

Scor-Tape

First we are going to cut out our note cards, one sheet of cardstock will make 8 note cards.  Since I was making a number of note card holders, I used 4 note cards for each holder.  (1) Score an 12" x 12" piece of cardstock at 3" and 9", (2) next cut the cardstock in half, 6".  (3) Then stack each side on top of each other and cut 3" cards, as shown below

From the cream cardstock, cut 5 - 2"x2" squares, from coordinating piece of cardstock cut 5 - 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" squares, now cut 4 - 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" squares from your designer paper.  Fold cards in half and layer with all of the squares.  My monogram stamp was 1 1/2" x 1 1/2".  I stamped the monogram, then embossed with gold embossing powder.  Viola!  Note cards done!

Now for the basket.  Cut a piece of designer paper, 3" x 11" and punch on the top edge.  (1) Next, using a piece of matching cardstock, cut a piece for the bottom, 3" x 4" and score each side at an 1/2".   (2) Construct a small box out of the cardstock and wrap it on the outside with 1/4" Scor-Tape.  (3) Wrap the designer paper around bottom piece.  Tip:  I pinched the corners when I came to them.  Attach a piece of Scor-Tape to the edge and close basket.

Next, wrap a piece of 1/4" Scor-Tape around the top and attach lace.  Add two pieces of 1/4" Scor-Tape to the front and back.  This will attach the ribbon handles, ribbon is about 8" long, you will need 2 pieces.

And your done!  Easy Peasy!

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial today!  Have lots of fun hopping along!

sharing my project that was featured on the Scor-pal
blog as part of this week's Scor-pal
and Doodlebug's Blog week. Of course, if you missed this
project or any of the other great projects from the Scor-pal team you'll want
to hop on over there and see what's been going on this week. Be sure

prizes. Entry deadline in 8am Monday, July 16, so there's still time.

Now, onto my project.  

I chose to make an adorable Scrapbook Album.  I started with two white paper lunch bugs and scored them in the middle.  Make sure that you alternate the top and bottom so that you have a variety of pages.

Next  fold them into a book then take your Crop-a-dile and punched three holes on the edge to create a binding on your book.  I used eyelets to give it more stability.  I used coordinating baker's twine from Doodlebug to create colorful accents.

Now decorate the pages and have fun!

My Honey page slips into one of tops of the bags.

The ladybug page is also a slip in page.

Scor-Pal And Really Reasonable Ribbon

Today I will be
sharing my project that was featured on the Scor-pal
blog as part of this week's Scor-pal
and Really Reasonable Ribbon blog week. Of course, if you missed this
project or any of the other great projects from the Scor-pal team you'll want
to hop on over there and see what's been going on this week. Be sure
to leave comments on each post from this week for a chance to win some great
prizes. Entry deadline in 8am Monday, July 16, so there's still time.

Now, onto my project.  

I have created this great k-cup purse.  I saw this amazing dixie up holder in an ad and just had to create one to carry k-cups!

Here is how I started:

First I wove my Really Reasonable Ribbon, I used the 3/8" Twill Assorted ribbon as the base for my weave.  I started it on a piece of cardstock that was 4" x 6" and adhered Scor-Tape to the sides to give it some stability:

Next I created the cup holder.  I used a piece of cardstock cut 6 3/4" x  5 1/4".  Line up the 5 1/4" part of the cardstock with the top fence of your Scor-Pal.  Score are 1 1/4" and  4".  Next, using a cutting system, (I used Creative Memories), cut three circles (I used the #5 circle with the blue blade cut inside).





Score a piece of 12" x 6 3/4" at 4 1/2" and 6 1/2".  Attach the cup holder to the card stock as shown


 


Decorate your purse and attach a button to close.









Thanks for stopping by today!  I had so much fun showing my project, I hope you will make one for yourself!
