Exploring and creating using the Score Pal with Susan Luke

Susan has been exploring with the SCORE PAL again and created an adorable card for you all to have a try at making.

We would love for you to have a go and place it in the gallery for us to admire!.

Materials:

• Sassafras Sweet Marmalade Sugary Sweet paper
• Cardstock
• Aqua Ric Rak
• flowers and buttons
• Scor-Pal- This is for PRE-ORDER now and a wonderful tool to use!!!!
• Double sided tape
• Paper cutter
• Photo of your choice
• Pritt glue
• Sentiment stamp
• 1 3/4" circle punch
• Ink pads
• Kaiser Champagne Rhinestones

First choose your photo and border and decide how wide and long you want your card to be. Cut the cardstock to frame the photo and allow placement of the border.

Measure out a piece of cardstock that is twice as long as your photo. Cut it to the same width as your photo and twice the length. Then place the strip of paper in the Scor-Pal and score it down the middle.

Measure out the 1/4 mark on your card strip and score there too.

Now fold your card in the middle and then make a mountain fold in the front of the card along the scored line.

Next place adhesive strips along the bottom half of the card front as shown. This adhesion needs to be strong so be generous with your tape.

Next adhere the photo and border mat to the bottom half of the card front. You still need to be able to make the card fold back as shown.

Decorate the inside of your card. The bottom half of the open card will show when the photo is on display. You will also need some anchor points for your photo to use as an easel.Here I used some ric rak, borders cut from my paper, cardstock, flowers and buttons. I glued the flowers and buttons to the card base.

And here is the completed card. I just popped up the circle shape where I stamped the sentiment, and have rested the picture against the buttons on the card.

Here's how the card looks form the side. You can make it more upright by moving the buttons back into the card a bit.

 




















Or you can back the picture up to rest on one of the borders like this:

thank you susan for this adorable card

thankyou everyone for stopping by

Score Pal with Susan Luke

Here is our first layout by Susan Luke. 

Materials:

• Photos
• cardstock
• Bella Grace Paper
• Inks
• Green Tara - Batic multi flowers
• sheer nylon ribbon
• FTI Rhinestone 
• Little Yellow Bicycle journaling tag
• American Crafts Glitter Letter Stickers (Thickers)
• File set
• Mesh Ribbon
• Needle and thread
• Sewing machine
• Double sided tape

First choose your photo and mat.

Now cut a wide strip of paper for the middle of your layout from the Coordinations cardstock. Crumple it up and smooth it out again.

Use the Rose Red ink to highlight the crumpled folds and add interest to the piece. I also sanded the edges of it and scuffed it up a little

I wanted to use some of the other side of the paper, so I 'stole' it from the middle. I laid my 12" x 12" scrapbook paper out and measured how long it was, then flipped it over and took the middle pieces I wanted. 

When I was done taking the pieces out, I lined up the 12" x 12" paper again on the original measuring points so I could add my own centre and have it wind up measuring 12" x 12" again.

I then brought my harvested bits around to the front of the page and taped them where I wanted them to be.

Next I taped the red cardstock to the front of the layout as shown.

And then I sewed a double line of black stitching around it with my sewing machine. I took the black netting and pleated it up on either side of where the photo would be, then sewed it to the layout as well.

I thought the photo mat I chose was too bright so I inked the edges with Taken with Teal ink.

To make a little flower I rolled some sheer ribbon into a circle

And stitched it in the middle.

Then I spread out the 'petals' and stitched them in place. After that I added a flower and a button to the top. I added in some more flowers and buttons, some bling, my journaling tag and a title, and I was done!

Thank you susan for this lovely layout... 

Hope everyone has a lovely sunday
