Valentine's Day Candy Box

Hi everyone, time for a new challenge at ScorPal and I wanted to share a fun candy box with you today.

This sweet box can be created for any number of occasions.  Think Valentine's Day, birthdays, holidays, and even party favors.  Just change up your papers based on your theme.

Cut black cardstock 6 1/8" x 11 1/4".

Score at 2 1/4", 4 1/2", 6 3/4" and 9".
Cut 10 panels of red cardstock, each 2 1/8" x 6".
Cut 10 panels of  pattern paper, each 2" x 5 3/4".

Add the panels together and adhere to both sides of the black cardstock.

Create the boxes by cutting red cardstock 5 1/8" x 5 1/8".
Score 1 1/2" around the panel.
Cut on the score line on all 4 edges.
Fold up and adhere with ScorTape.

Starting on the 2nd panel, adhere the first box in place. 

Stack the other 3 boxes and adhere in place.

To create the top, cut black cardstock 5 3/4" x 5 3/4".

Score at 3/4", 1 5/8", 4 1/8", 5 inch.

Rotate and repeat.

Cut in the edges, fold the boxes and adhere.

Cut strips of red cardstock to fit the sides.

Cut red cardstock 2" x 2" to fit top.

Cut a burlap panel to fit the box top.

Add buttons to finish.

Die cut 3 sizes of ovals; stamp a phrase on the smallest and adhere to the box front.

Fill with candy or other little treats.

Please stop by the Scor-Pal blog to see what all the designers have been creating.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Halloween with ScorPal

Hi everyone, it's a new month and the challenge on the Scor-Pal blog is to create anything for Halloween  just be sure it includes more than one score.

This cute Halloween card is created from 2 pieces of black cardstock, each 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
Each panel was scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

Adding Scor-Tape to the non scored panel, place the second panel on top creating a double gate fold card.

Cut pattern papers to fit all panels.  Add strips of cardstock across the gatefold panels, then adhere an oval with a die cut witch to the left side.

Inside, stamp a phrase from Joy Clair's Spooky Greetings stamp set on a yellow panel.  Mat it with black cardstock and add strips of orange and black cardstock across the top.  Stamp a witch hat from the same stamp set, punch it out and add to the panel.

Happy Halloween.

Please stop by the Scor-Pal blog for more projects.

Adventure is Calling Journal

Hi everyone, I'm sharing the last project that was posted on the Canvas Corp. blog.    Alas, Canvas Corp. as we know it, no longer exists.  That is such a sad turn of events for the crafting industry as they had so many amazing products and so many wonderful designers!!!

I've created a mixed media travel journal  to document all the trips we are now planning - starting with our upcoming trip to Italy.

This is a great project for using up all those scraps left over from various projects.  Add in metal gears a stamped image from Joy Clair stamp's Good Vibes stamp set along with that wonderful phrase - Adventure is calling!!!   

I'm in.  What about you?

Can't wait to fill it up with notes and items from our travels.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Valentine's Day with Canvas Corp.

Happy Valentine's Day!!   May your day be full of sweet surprises.

My newest post on the Canvas Corp. Brands Blog is a set of Valentine's Day cards.

Canvas Corp..  has an amazing selection of cardstock and pattern papers.  Solids and patterns are created to mix and match.  Using a minimal number of supplies, these cards were created quickly.

I used Tattered Angels Strawberry Ice Chalkboard with a paint brush to paint the hearts, then cut the papers to different sizes to create my cards.

Stop by the Canvas Corp. Brands Blog for complete details.

Happy New Years with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam

Cheers everyone.  I recently had some fabulous cards  on the Canvas Corp. Brands Blog using Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam.

I find Glimmer Glam to be an  amazing paint filled with chunky glitter in a sheer tinted paint.  These paints are wonderful to use for all your creations.  While I have added Happy New Year to my cards, these cards would be perfect for a birthday, for a retirement party, or even for someone heading off on a vacation, by simply changing up the 2nd sentiment.

Head over to the Canvas Corp. Brands Blog for complete details.

Fall Blog Hop with Canvas Corp.

It's time for a Fall Blog Hop with Canvas Corp.

Supplies:
Canvas Corp Halloween Pin Dots

Canvas Corp. - Black on Kraft cardstock

Tattered Angels Baseboard Mist -  Lava
Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist - Alaskan Salmon
High Impact Paint - Light Gold
Hemp Cord - Black
Just For Fun Rubber Stamps - Pumpkins



I created cute little Halloween treat bags using the Halloween Pin Dots cardstock.  This is a heavy cardstock that I easily cut and scored to create 6" x 3" treat bags to give to the trick or treaters this year.

I stamped pumpkins with black ink then painted them with Alaskan Salmon and Lava.  To add the gradient color, I added additional Alaskan Salmon to parts of the pumpkins.

A touch of High Impact Paint in Light Gold was used to highlight the edges of the pumpkins. 

I fussy cut the pumpkins and popped them on the front of each bag.  Since the bags had no tops, I punched holes in the tops, threaded black hemp through the holes and tied them closed.

Aren't they sweet?

Please check out everyone's projects and leave comments along the way.

Merry and Bright Christmas Card

Hi everyone, I'm starting Christmas cards, how about you?  I know it's early, but I find it's never too early to start preparing.

You can create an assortment of cards using the variety of Canvas Corp. and Tattered Angels products/  I used both Chalkboard and Glimmer Glaze to add color to the Ivory script background, randomly adding color.

I die cut leaves from the same script paper and spritzed it with Chalkboard.

Adding a panel of burlap to the card, I placed a die cut pointsettia and the leaves on top.  

A sentiment from Joy Clair was stamped, inked and cut into a pennant shape, then added across the card with foam adhesives.

The panel was added to a black card and the burlap was frayed for a distressed look.

Thanks for stopping by.

USA Sign with Proxxon Tools

Hi everyone, I've got a new project  on the Proxxon blog using a wonderful assortment of Proxxon Tools.

I wanted a specific background so I drew the design I wanted to cut on a piece of wood, then used the Scroll Saw to cut the design.  Next I used the Drill Press to add a hole in the top.

Once cut, I used the Delta Sander to make it smooth.

Then I had fun decorating it.  I painted it with Plaid Dye, then cut Canvas Corp. 4th of July paper to fit the center panel. I matted it with cardstock, then adhered it to the panel.

Next, I cut fireworks and sparklers using my Cricut.

Then I die cut USA to fit across the panel.

Finally I added some jute and the sign was ready to hang.

What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.
