How about a clean and simple card for Christmas? This one is elegant but can be made easily in batches.
I used the Penny Black stamp called Nature’s Ornament. I embossed it in gold on some shimmery cardstock. You can’t tell from the photo but the cardstock has a shimmery gold look to it – perfect for this card. I matted the card front onto gold metalllic cardstock before adhering it onto the base card.
Here is an up close look of the embossed card.

Happy November everyone!! I hope your Halloween went off without a hitch. We now roll into the Thanksgiving and Christmas season and I am ready!! I have a gift box to share with you that I created for the November “More Than One Score” challenge on the Scor-Pal blog.
This month we want to see your Gift Packaging creations.
Each month we will have a different theme and you will have a month to create and enter your projects. As well as the theme you will need to make “More Than One Score” and tell us where you used the Scor-Pal on your project. So a single fold card won’t count but an Easel, Gatefold, Stair Step, etc will. Also we love to see your “Anything But a Card” projects, just as long as you make “More Than One Score”
We have a ton of inspiration on our Projects on the Scor-Pal website and also on our Pinterest Board to get you eager to enter.
The box I made measures 3.5″ wide by 7″ long and 2″ deep, so it is a nice size for gifts. As you can see from the photos I made the top to fit so that you see the bottom portion of the box.
Note: I have a square version of this as well – keep reading to the bottom of this post!!
For the bottom I started with a sheet of patterned paper measuring 11 x 7.5. I scored it at the 2″ mark on all sides. The Scor-Pal can be found HERE and Scor-Tape can be found HERE.
Cut the tabs as shown below
Add scor tape on the tabs and assemble the box.
For the top I used a piece of coordinating patterned paper measuring 9 1/8″ x 5 5/8″. I scored at the 1″ mark on all sides. I cut the tabs in a similar manner to the bottom and added scor-tape as shown.
Here is the box without any embellishments.
Once the box was completed I simply added some die cuts to make a tag. I think most of the dies are from Memory Box. I had some red burlap in my stash that I used to tie it all together.
Here is the square version of this box:
To make the square version:
For the bottom use a piece of 8″ x 8″ paper and score at 2″ on each side.
For the top use a piece of 6 1/8″ x 6 1/8″ paper and score at 1″ on each side.
Cut the tabs in a similar manner as shown in the rectangular box and assemble.
This square box measures 4 x 4 by 2″ deep.
The die tag is from Penny Black.
I hope you will take part in this months challenge!! It’s a great way to get going on your packaging for the holidays.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hello crafters and a Happy Easter to you! I hope most of you are enjoying the warm spring weather. I have a pretty gift bag for you today.
I used some pretty patterned paper from a DCWV paper pack called Watercolor. It is heavy duty and double sided as well. A Scor-Pal and Scor-tape were used to create the bag. Here are the dimensions and scoring guides:
Paper size: 12 x 7.5
Score at:
On the short side: 1.75
On the long side: 1.75, 5.75, 7.5 and 11.5
See the photo below for how I cut the paper to make flaps for the bottom.\
The tag uses a scalloped, stitched die. I stamped a Penny Black stamp – called The Unfolding with water based markers. The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set.
These bags are very quick and easy to do, and if you have some spare paper lying around (and what paper crafter doesn’t?) make a few bags to have on hand!
Thanks for stopping by today !
Hello stampers..welcome to Octber! We are now officially in the holiday season as we count down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Today I have a clean and simple autumn card.
I created this using the Penny black stamp called Softly and it’s coordinating stencil, along with memento inks. The simple lines on this stamp lend it to almost any occasion.
I started by stamping the image with black ink.
Then I placed the matching stencil over the stamped image and sponged on two shades of green ink, lightest first, over the leaves and stems.
Once that was done I sponged three colors of yellow/orange over the flower portions.
I die cut a smaller piece and did the same thing. A sentiment from Papertrey was used on this front panel.
Thanks for stopping by today!
