Gift baskets

Did have fun this morning creating some projects as gifts with my Scor-pal.
Here I have two baskets using a pattern from the Scor-pal blog.
The first made with Christmasy double sided paper and simply decorated with a tag and gold glittery star.....perfect to fill with Christmas cookies.
The second a plain green basket with glittery red wrapping tape around the top and on the handle. I used a die cut sentiment on the side and die cut medallion to decorate the joins
I am playing along with Scor-pal challenge #55 - Anything Goes for Christmas  and Power Poppy Creative Confetti - Season of Giving, also Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Wrap It Up.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day.

Scor-Pal More than One Score Challenge #55 December Anything Goes Christmas

Gift Box

 I've made this gift box for a special person and will post it to the Scor-pal #11 challenge.

I used cream card to make the top...

 And this gorgeous double sided designer card to make the box...

 and lined the lid with the offcut. 

 Then used a die cut medallion as a base to a punched and embossed flower, finished with a pearl and some leaves.

"More Than One Score" #11 - Anything Goes with Your Scor-Pal (and More Than One Score)

Calendar card

I have finished another Calendar card for the Scor-pal challenge #10

"More Than One Score" Challenge #10 - Family/Thanksgiving.

These will be for my family when we visit in the New Year. Designer paper makes them easy to put together also to make use of those tags/sentiments included in the 6x6 packs....this one is very pretty and I think my mum will like it. I am going to add a ribbon hanger to the back of the vertical front and a strip of double sided tape to hold the front to the base so it can be used as a hanging calendar; this should help it lay flat on the wall.

Live all the Days of your Life

Today I have made an Easel Card in the form of a Calendar.

Over at Kaisercraft blog the November challenge #1  is... "time to start your next years calendar/journal/filofax." and at Scor-pal challenge #10 the thene is Family or Thanksgiving... while here in Australia we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving as elaborately as in the US I thought these calendars would be a great 'thank you' gift for family when we stay over during the holidays.

So I have used papers and elements from the Kaisercraft Pickled Pear set, stamped and coloured the floral sprig and fussy cut it and mounted it over a band of hessian and ribbon on the front of the card, then added one of the die cut sentiments from the set which I thought very appropriate for a calendar. Inside I adhered a band of weatherboard paper matching the front and a scalloped edge and then the mini calendar and finished off with a wood flourish and handmade flower - which helps to support the easel as the calendar pages are removed.

I really enjoyed making the card, not difficult at all and will be off to select some more papers and elements for the next one.  Lucky for me I have these great thick card envelopes I have had for a while to use with them.
I am also posting my card to Just Add Ink  #240 where the theme is to ADD Texture.

Note Caddy

 Fun Storage Ideas the 8th Scor-pal challenge....

I do so enjoy playing along with Scor-pal challenges as I get to be innovative and use my Scor-pal...  So today I roughed out this idea to make a Note Caddy for the Phone as we're always looking for a pen and paper when on the phone and I like to collect those freebie pads in motels etc.  After the second scrap try I got the size and folds right (as I wanted to just make it from one sheet of A4 card). I also decided to add a second base to strengthen it as the sides are firm from the three folded tabs, then I dressed it up with some fun butterfly paper.

"More Than One Score" Challenge #7 - Food For Thought

 

Hi and hope you're enjoying your week. I've been finishing of my Gift Box for the Scor-pal #7 challenge and have made this box from an A4 sheet of card and thought to dress it up as a popcorn or lolly bag for a childs birthday party to run with the theme of 'Food for thought'.  I made one of those old fashion windmills we used to make as kids and attached it with a brad and then tied a tag with coloured twine.

Happy 90th Birthday

"More Than One Score" Challenge #6 - Colors of Your Country/Patriotic

I had a very special card to make for my father-in-law who is to celebrate his 90th birthday this weekend. So I decided on a card in a box. I redesigned the standard card to make it 3x2x7 inches and put three inner pieces...so there was lots of scoring. Then the whole thing was decorated with layered punched stars and some bling I bought and cut up to suit. I distress ink colour a mug of beer (which he loves) and added various sentiments. I used  oval dies to cut the 90 and hand cut the nine to shape. I'm really happy with the card and am glad it is being hand delivered as it just fits in an A4 envelope. I'm posting my card to the Sco-pal #6 challenge and am glad I had the Scor-pal to assist with keeping the card all square. Thanks for taking a peek Robyn
