MFT and Scor-Pal Hop

LinkWelcome to the Scor-Pal and My Favorite Things hop! I hope you are ready for a ton of inspiration! You can find the entire list of designers that are participating, along with the prize details, on the Scor-Pal Blog.




For my project, I decided to change the tea-light card holder up a little bit, to make it the perfect way to present some Kisses for Valentine's Day. So here's a peak at the inside of my project.





To begin, cut a cardstock base 10 1/4" x 8"(I used WorldWin Papers - Kraft). With the long side placed on the upper fence of the Scor-Pal, score at 1/2", 1 1/4", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 5", 9 1/2"

Next turn the paper a quarter turn, so that the short side is now along the upper fence. Score at 3/4" and 7 1/4"

Trim as shown below.

Cut a window on the third panel in, leaving a quarter of an inch margin around the edges. Use Scor-tape around the opening, and attach a piece of clear acrylic for the window.

Fold the box portion of the card inwards, and use Scor-Tape on the outer flap to anchor the box to the card base. **I added patterned paper, and my candy kisses to the inside of the box before closing the box up.

For the front of the card, cut a base of 6 3/4" x 6 1/2 ". With the longer side at the top of the Scor-Pal, score at 3/4". Put Score-tape on the under side of the tab, and attach to the base of the card. Decorate the front and inside as you wish.

For my project, I used MFT's Ladybug from the Pure Innocence line (which I completely love every stamp in this collection!). I colored her with Copics, but she was a little too bright for the vintage look I wanted, so I swiped the entire image with Tea Dye Distress ink. I love how this looked with the Kraft paper. MFTs also has a wonderful line of dies - the Die-Namics! I used the Dizzy Border. Look how delicate those cuts are! Just fabulous!

Bling It On, Baby!


My Favorite Things is having their monthly GDT challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers, and I haven't played in awhile, so the lure of Show your Bling made it a must do! I have a pretty good collection of MFT stamps, and as I was looking through them to decide which one to use, I knew, as soon as I saw Tote-ally Fantastic, that bling and purses are made for each other! I used some of my gorgeous metallic papers from Kanban Crafts - not only for the card, but also to paper piece sections of my stamp. I don't know about you, but I think all of the MFT stamps are so perfect for paper piecing - I have a hard time not using that technique with them! Be sure to check out the rest of the entries for the month - there is some fabulous inspiration!

CPS Sketch for the week


I had a list of challenges that I was really wanting to play with this week, so I have been trying to get them marked off one by one! This is the sketch challenge for CPS this week. Flourishes is sponsoring this week, and since that is one of my favorite stamp companies, I knew I had to play. The stamp that I used is one of the Who's that Girl stamps from MFT's. I used both my Beaded Circles and Beaded Ovals nesties on this card.
