Secret Little Box


Welcome!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Today I have created a Secret Little Box, inspired by THIS box by Norma Lee.  I just love little surprises and secret little hiding places, so I had a create a box that delivered both!  I hope you enjoy my tutorial.

Scor-Tape
Teresa Collins Designer Paper
bling
Tilda with Eggs by Magnolia

Skin:  E00, E21, E11, E23
Hair: E41, E42, E43, E57
Clothes:  BG0000, BG10, BG15, BG90

Here are all the pieces you will need for our box.

12" x 6" piece of card stock
(3) 4 7/8" squares of card stock
(2) pieces of 3" x 3" card stock

To create the drawers, using a 4 7/8" square of card stock, score 7/8" on each side.  Construct your drawer.


Next, we are going to create the base for our secret box.  Using the 12" x 6" piece of cardstock, score at 1 1/2", 4 1/2", 7 1/2" and 10 1/2".  Cut out the middle section, 4 1/2" to 7" 1/2" as shown below.


Attach the 3" x 3" pieces of card stock to your box as shown below.  I decorated the panels before attaching them. 
Next attach the drawers into place.  When attaching top drawer, be sure not to attach to the front panel, this is where it will tuck in to secure the box closed. 





Here are a couple more views

Heart Pocket Card


Hello!  I am so glad you stopped by today!  Today I am featuring my own little twist on the Flower Pot Pocket Card.  It's very fussy and fancy, but that is just how I like it!


Supplies:

Scor-Pal
Scor-Tape
Memory Box Heart Die
Memory Box LaRue Heart Die
Country Boutique by Fancy Pants
Wild Orchid Craft lace and flower

Start with a piece of card stock that measures 3 1/2" x 7 3/4", score at 3 1/4" (valley fold) and 6 1/2" (mountain fold).  Then fold as follows:



Next, I used a heart die from Memory Box for the "flower pot" part of my card.


I used a Scor-Tape Sheet and the LaRue Heart from Memory Box for the filigree pattern on the front of the heart.



Next I went crazy decorating with all sorts of hearts, some lace and ribbon and some sparkly paper!

Thanks for stopping by!

Activity Book





Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing with you an activity book that I created using The Portfolio Collection from Pink Paislee.  I was such a great collection to work with.  I just love all of the embellishments and chipboards!  My project is also being featured on the Scor-Pal Blog



Supplies:



The Portfolio Collection from Pink Paislee

coordinating card stock


Scor-Tape

white feathers

brads








First, start by cutting two pieces of card stock, the first one is 11" x 6", score at 5" and 6".  The second one is 7" x 6", score at 5" and 6".









Attach them together with Scor-Tape to create a book. Decorate the outside and the inside.








For the pouch on the inside, use a piece of 6" x 3 1/2" card stock and score at 1/2" and 1" on three sides, decorate and attach to the inside of your book.



To make the little booklets, I made two, the sheet of paper on the inside of the book measure 2 7/8" x 2 7/8".  The cover is 6 1/4" x 3", score at 3" and 3 1/4".  Place pages on the inside of the book and punch two holes for the spine.  I used baker's twine to tie them together.








I hope you enjoyed my project today!!  I had lots of fun making it!

Look What I Made Using My Scor-Pal and Simple Stories!







Hi everyone!  I made a cute Desk Calendar using my Scor-Pal and the Awesome collection from Simple Stories.  You can also see my project on the Scor-Pal Blog along with other fabulous projects from the design team!



Supplies:

card stock
various brads
adhesive numbers
acetate
date stamps



To create the drawer, start with a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" square of cardstock, score 1" on all sides to create the drawer.  Tip:  I decorate the drawer front and positioned my brad before I assembled my drawer.  Next, for the drawer wrap.  Start with a piece of cardstock 3" x 9", score at 1", 4", 5" and 8".  Create the wrap and place the drawer inside.


The calendar pages are 2 1/4" x 1 3/4".  I used a 1" and 3/4" circle punch for the calendar pulls and used coordinating brads for each month. 


Use the drawer to store the off months.  The easel card on top measures 2 1/2" x 5 ", score at 1 1/4" and 2 1/2".  I used a 2 1/4" square of acetate adhered with brads to slide the months into.  

Happy Scoring!

Winter Inspired Wrap Box


Welcome all!  Today I have a beautifully inspired winter wrap box to share with you that holds something to warm your insides.

Supplies:

Little Yellow Bicycle - Winterings
card stock
sliver glimmer paper
teresa collins Christmas cottage rhinestone medallion
Spellbinder pearl heart

Tools:

Scor-Pal
Scor-Tape
Martha Stewart punches
Memory Box snowflake die


To start, cut a piece of cardstock 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and punch around the outside with a Martha Stewart border snowflake punch.  This is the dark blue base of the box



Create a box using a light blue piece of card stock measuring 8 1/2" x 8 1/2".  Score at 2" on all sides to create your box.  For the lid, cut a piece of light blue card stock 5 1/2" x 12".  With the long edge on the top fence, score at 4 1/2", 6 1/2" and 11".  Turn the paper so that the short edge is on the top fence and score at 1/2" and 5".  It should like the picture below.


Now cut as shown below:


Here is the lid and the base of the box:



Attach the lid to the box using Scor-Tape making sure that the bottom of the box is attached to the bottom of the lid piece on the outside.


Now we are going to create our "wrap" pieces.  Cut a piece of white card stock 3" x 12", punch both sides with a Martha Stewart snowflake border punch and a row of snowflakes using a Martha Stewart punch.  I used a contrasting piece of Little Yellow Bicycle Winterings paper behind the circle snowflakes. 


Attach one of the snowflake strips to the bottom, back and top of the box with Scor-Tape.


Attach the remaining snowflake strip to the bottom of the box with Scor-Tape, leaving the front edge and top free.  I hot glued the medallion to the top leaving the bottom half of the medallion free from hot glue.  This is where you tuck the other part of the "wrap" under.  Attach the box to the snowflake base we created in the first step.

Add a little something inside to warm you up on a cold winter's day!


I hope you have a wonderfully warm day!!

Scor-Pal and Fancy Pants

Everyone loves a party! This year for New Years, we are going to a game night with the kids and I wanted to bring along a little something for the adults.

Here is the supplies I used:

a sheet of acetate
Fancy Pants Country Boutique Collection Kit
Magnolia Tag and Swirly Heart Die
Spellbinder Die
Martha Stewart punch
Maya Roads fabric flowers


Here is a close up of the top and the tag that I made


and the label on the bottom


First start with a piece of 9" x 9" black corrugated paper, score at 3" and 6" and turn the paper 90 degrees and score again at 3" and 6". 



Adhere the box together using Scor-Tape.


The next photo is a little hard to see because it is the acetate.  Cut a piece of acetate 11" x 10", score 1/2, 3 3/4", 6 1/2 and 9 1/2"  make sure you score them really well, it will be easier to fold them.  For the back piece cut a piece of acetate 2 7/8" x 11".


Fold the box together as shown below.


Using Scor-Tape secure the acetate to the corrugated box. 


For the top, use a 5" x 5" piece of paper and score 1" on each side.


To make a circle in the middle for the wine bottle to peak out of, use a cutting template and cut a circle in the middle.  I used Creative Memories cutting system using the #4 circle with the red blade.


Now decorate to make it look festive!
Happy New Year!
