Scor-Pal More Than One Score - April



It's time for the April Scor-Pal More Than One Score Challenge. This month, the theme is April Showers, or April Fool Us (use a hidden/surprise element), or you can make an Anything Goes project as long as it follows the general rules.

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".

I made a Hidden Image card this month. This is what it looks like closed.


And this is what it looks like after the tab is pulled, revealing the hidden image.


To make this card, you will need:

5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock for the card base (I used green)
3 3/4" x 4 3/4" piece of cardstock for the sliding tab (I used kraft)
2 1/2" x 4" piece of cardstock for your images (I used Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock)
The Stacker - Well, I guess you don't need this, but it makes it so easy to add your Scor-Tape!

Score the green piece at 4" and 8". Make 2 slits from 3/4" from the top down to 4 3/4" at 4 3/4" and 7 1/4". Cut the kraft piece at 2" almost down to the bottom. I left about 1/2" attached. Your pieces should look something like this:





You can decorate your card base, if you like. I first stamped a circle design (from an unknown company), with ColorBox Fresh Green ink, but I found it didn't show up, so then I used the flourish from the Gina K. Designs Layered Daisies stamp set, and stamped it with Gina's Lucky Clover ink.

On the white piece of cardstock, stamp your two images. The hidden image will be on the left. I used a balloon stamp that I have had for years, but don't know who made it. I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers AG2, AG4, DR3, DR5, CT1, CT3 to colour the balloons, and added some Clear Wink of Stella on the highlights. The sentiment on the right is from the Stampendous Birthday Assortment stamp set. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink for these.

Attach the white piece between the two slits with Scor-Tape. Punch a half circle on the edge, so it's easy to pull the tab. I used a 1 1/2” circle punch, but you can use whatever size you have.



From the back, thread the 2" flap of the kraft piece through one slit and back through the other slit. I actually took this picture before I had taped on the white piece, and realized that it was much easier to put the white piece on first. 



Turn it over and tape the 2" flap back to the rest of the kraft piece. Add a piece of Scor-Tape along the 1/2" tab, fold the back of the card up, and fold the tab down on the outside. This way, it doesn't interfere with the slider.



Now you can decorate the front of the sliding tab. I used the Stampin’ Up! Create a Cupcake stamp set
with Gina K. Designs Lucky Clover, Wild Dandelion, and Cherry Red ink, and the Cupcake Builder punch to punch it out. I attached it with some Forever in Time foam squares.

We would love to see your creations, and you might win a gift certificate to the Scor-Pal store!
