We would love it if you are "Pinspired" or have been in the past by projects on our Scor-Pal Pinterest board , if you have please be sure to leave a comment below and let us know what "Pinspired" you!




I made another wine box.  Seriously, I will never again buy a wine bag!  I had a few questions about how to make this project.  The good news is that it isn't really that hard.  
For this project, you will need:
  • Scor-Pal
  • Scor-Tape
  • One 11" x 12" piece of card stock
  • Six 1 1/4" x 7 3/4" pieces of card stock
  • Six 1 1/8" x 7 5/8" pieces of patterned paper
  • Paper snips
  • Hole punch
  • Pencil
  • Ribbon
  • Stamps
  • Ink
  • Embellishments as desired
Place the 11" x 12" piece of card stock with the 12" side along the fence of the Scor-Pal. Score at 2" and 10".
Rotate 90 degrees. With your 11" side along the fence of the Scor-Pal, score at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4", 7", 8 3/4" and 10 1/2'".
With a pencil, mark at 7/8", 2 5/8", 4 3/8", 6 1/8", 7 7/8" and 9 5/8". 
Fold and burnish all of the score lines.
Trim off both 1/4" x 2" rectangles seen here.
Trim from the top down and from the bottom up 2" to the score line.  This creates 6 tabs on the top and 6 tabs on the bottom.
With Scor-Tape, adhere 6 strips of 1 1/8" x 7 5/8" designer paper to 6 strips of 1 1/4" x 7 3/4" strips of card stock.
With more Scor-Tape, adhere one strip to each scored panel on the box.
Use the pencil mark on the top 6 tabs as a guide to cut down from the center to each edge of the tab, creating triangle shaped tabs.
Punch a 1/4" hole in the center of each triangle tab.
Line the 1/4" x 8" tab with Scor-Tape.
Remove the adhesive backing and adhere tab to the inside of the opposite end panel, forming a hexagon shaped tube.
Line 5 of the bottom tabs with Scor-Tape.
Place bottle in tube at this time to support the shape of the box as you secure the bottoms tabs. Fold the tab with no Scor-Tape in first.  Then, remove adhesive backing and stick down the rest of the tabs in clockwise fashion.
Thread ribbon through the punched holes in the triangle tabs and tie a bow.
Embellish the finished wine bottle box as desired.
I stamped a simple tag with some silver cording to hand around the neck of the bottle. It can personalized for the occasion or for the recipient. The possibilities are endless for this type of project.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Mid Challenge Tutorial

This fabulous project was from one of team members in our current challenge and we wanted for you to be able to create it yourself so we have the tutorial for you.

When I was a little girl my grandmother used to make an Egg Hunt. I had to look all over the house (and garden - if the weather was OK) for hidden sweets.
Therefore, I decided to prepare a card with storage unit for sweets. You can put your favorite sweets or a small gift in a small drawer.
Let's start with an easel.
Mark the 12" paper on 12.5 cm. If your scoring table doesn't have row at this point - slide the paper about 0.5 cm to the right and select the row of 13cm.
Turn the card 90o and mark at 12.5, 19 and 25cm rows. Cut out the unnecessary part. Pay attention to the creasing rows 19 and 25 cm doesn't exceed 12.5 cm row.
Now go back to your previous position and mark on rows 14,5, 27 and 29cm.
Cut out unnessesary parts.
Now it's time for a drawer - we need cut square with a side length of 20.2 cm. Score each side on 2 and 4 cm.
Cut out unnessesary parts.
Now it's time to adhesive with your Scor-Tape and decorate your card as desired.
Products used:
Scoring board - Scor-Pal
Adchesive - Scor-Tape
Cardstock - plain white 250g
Scrap paper - 7dots Studio Illumination, Galeria papieru
Cutting dies - RosyDot AC2, Magnolia Summer Foliage
Additions: handmade flowers

Scor-Pal More than One Score Challenge #36 Interactive Project

Welcome to the 36th Monthly Challenge here at Scor-Pal!
We love showing our projects to you and now it's your chance to show your creations to us!
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"
We have a FABULOUS set of samples from the Design Team, just click on their names to go to their blogs for more details on their creations.

Our Design Team Member of the month is Isia and on the 15th she will be sharing the tutorial for her fantastic project so be sure to come back for that.
