November Scor-Pal More Than One Score

 

It's time for another More Than One Score Challenge on the Scor-Pal blog! This month, the theme is Family Traditions, 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".

This month, I made a Christmas Gift Box.

To make this box, you will need:

Scor-Pal
Scor-Tape
The Stacker

2 pieces of heavy cardstock - 7 1/2" x 9" and 8 3/8" x 10 7/8"

Cardstock and patterned paper to decorate your box. I used:

Red cardstock - for the bottom - 2 pieces 1 7/8" x 3 3/8"

                                                    2 pieces 1 7/8" x 4 7/8"

                                                    1 piece 3 3/8" x 4 7/8" 

                        - for the top - 2 pieces 1 3/8" x 3 1/2"

                                              2 pieces 1 3/8" x 5"

                                              1 piece 3 1/2" x 5"

Patterned paper - 2 pieces 1 1/8" x 3 1/4"

                            2 pieces 1 1/8" x 4 3/4"

                            1 piece 3 1/4" x 4 3/4"

I used the Score, Fold, Create! Project Book for the templates to make the box. I needed it to be big enough for an ornament, so I made it 2 inches high, 3 1/2 inches wide and 5 inches long. Using your Scor-Pal, score at 2" on all sides of the smaller of the two pieces of heavy cardstock. On one side, cut along the two score lines up to the other score line. Repeat the process on the opposite side.

For the top, I wanted to make it with double thickness sides, to give it a more finished look. I only had an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock, so I had to shorten the sides and the part I folded over. So, with the 10 7/8" side at the top of your Scor-Pal, score at 3/4" and 2 1/4". Rotate the cardstock 180 degrees and repeat. With the 8 3/8" side at the top, score at 1 3/8" and 2 7/8" on both sides. Cut off the corners as shown.

Add the decorative cardstock and patterned paper, along with the Scor-Tape.

You will also need to add Scor-Tape on the inside of the outer tabs to adhere them to the inner sides. 

Here is my box with the ornament. It's a perfect fit!

I also added a bit of ribbon, and a couple of holly leaves and berries to match the paper.

I hope you can play along with the challenge, and you could win a gift certificate to the Scor-Pal store!
