November Scor-Pal project

 

My sister gave me a birthday card using this design, and I liked it so much that I made one for my friend's birthday. 

It has rails like a horizontal fence in the front and stands open like a box. Here is a view from the top.

To make this card, you will need the following supplies:

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

The Stacker

Cardstock: 1 piece 4 1/4" x 9"

                   4 pieces 3/4" x 9"

Patterned paper: 1 piece 1 5/8" x 4 1/8"

                           4 pieces 5/8" x 3 5/8"

Other patterned paper or embossed cardstock: 1 piece 1 5/8" x 4 1/8"

                                                                           4 pieces 5/8" x 1 5/8"

Decorations and embellishments: I used Gina K. Designs items unless otherwise specified.

      Patterned paper: Give Thanks

      Embossing folder: Tapestry
      Flower: Zenflowers stamp set and dies
      Back tree: Autumn Wishes stamp set
      Sentiment: Happy Birthday to You stamp set            
      Ink: Warm Cocoa, Red Hot, Chocolate Truffle Amalgam
      Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

      VersaMark ink

      brown cardstock, circle die, clear embossing powder from my stash

Step 1:

 For the cardstock, with the 9" side at the top of your Scor-Pal, score each piece at 1 3/4" and       3 1/2". On the large piece, make a mountain fold at the 1 3/4" score line and a valley fold at the     3 1/2" line. For the small pieces, make a valley fold at the 1 3/4" line and a mountain fold at the     3 1/2" line. 

Step 2:

Turn each piece over. On the large piece, add Scor-Tape to the left hand side up to the first fold. To space out the tape, make a small mark at 1 1/4" and 2 3/8" from the top. Then place the Scor-Tape so that it just covers each mark. Then place one piece at the top and one piece at the bottom. For the small pieces, rotate them so the score lines are on the right, and add Scor-Tape on the right hand side. 

Step 3:

Turn the pieces back over, remove the top piece of tape liner from the large piece and attach the first small piece, lining up the top and left edge. Lay the small piece flat against the top of the large piece and hold it in place while you bend back the right hand flap and remove the tape liner. Then fold the flap back and press it onto the large piece. I attached the bottom piece next so I could line it up with the bottom. For the middle two pieces, use the tape as a guide and place them in between so they are all evenly spaced.

Step 4:

Add Scor-Tape to the back of your patterned paper pieces. I decided to use an embossing folder to make a pattern on my cardstock for the second paper option. If you like to have a continuing pattern, line up your pieces so you keep track of where they go.

Step 5:

Tape the pieces onto the card base.

Step 6:

Decorate as desired. You can put a message on the back of the card. The card folds flat and fits in an A2 sized envelope (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").
