May Scor-Pal More Than One Score

It's time for another Scor-Pal More Than One Score Challenge. For the month of May, the theme is Purses or Handbags, 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".

There are lots of tutorials on the Scor-Pal website. I found one for the clutch purse I made. You can find it Here.

To make this Clutch Purse, you will need:

Scor-Pal
Scor-Mat
Scor-Tape
The Stacker

11" x 12" piece of patterned paper (If you use double sided paper, it will be pretty on the inside, too!)

        I used Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack

Embellishments to decorate. I used:

Stampin’ Up!: Melon Mambo cardstock

                       Cherry Cobbler ink
VersaMark ink
clear embossing powder

Hampton Art stamp set SC0646 for the sentiment on the handle
Dies: Sizzix edger
         Spellbinders Shapeabilities Jar Labels
         Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die D-Lites Blooms Four, Corner Flourish
Mini Glue Dots

piece of yellow cardstock

ribbon

pieces of a magnetic sheet for the closure

I followed the directions in the tutorial, but made this template just so I knew what I was doing! I hope you find it helpful. Dotted lines indicate where to score, and solid lines are cutting lines. 

The Scor-Pal has a useful feature that came in handy for this project. On the 3", 6" and 9" scoring grooves, it has marks along each side. This makes it easy to stay lined up in the same groove when you are scoring the diagonal lines on the side tabs. The top corner of the tab is lined up on the 3" mark, and you can see that the bottom corner is lined up in the same groove.

Here is a look at the purse before it is assembled.

I used an edger die to cut the front edge, and used the same die for the small piece that I added on the back. This hid where I attached the ribbon handle.

Here's a view showing the side. You just pinch the top of each side together and close down the front. I added a piece of a magnetic sheet to the back of the front, and inside on the front panel.

This was a lot of fun to make, and I hope you have a look at the website and try one of the tutorials. If you do, be sure to enter the challenge, and you could win a gift certificate to the Scor-Pal store!
