ScorPal & VLVS! - Day Four

Welcome to a week full of inspiration!

and
 

All week we'll be teaming up with the folks @ Scor-Pal and using their amazing scoring tool in conjunction with Viva Las VegaStamps! rubber stamps!

--Leave comments all week long to be entered to win! Scor-Pal has an original Scor-Pal to give away PLUS a lb o' rubber! And we've got a ScorEnvi plus a lb o' rubber!--

First up today we have GLENDA:


Hi everyone, Glenda here! This was my first time using the Scorpal and let me just say WOW!!! At first I wracked my brain trying to think of what I was going to make because I'm not a card person, but I am a total ATC addict!! So I thought why can't I make a little ATC booklet using the Scorpal, and I did!! The size of an ATC is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. I wanted to make a triple ATC so I cut my white cardstock into the size of 2 1/2 x 7 inches. I then placed that onto the Scorpal and it was so nice because it did the measuring and folding for me!!! I made 2 scores at the 2 1/2 inch mark and the 5 inch mark (and be careful that you don't go over them again like I did because I tore right through it and had to start again! haha) and then gently folded them like an accordion.


After that I decorated each mini page with a variety of super fun Viva Las VegaStamps!, Sakura gelly & micron pens, mists, paint and papers and now have a cute little ATC mini album. If one ATC is good how awesome is having 6 connected all together??


Here are the Viva Las VegaStamps! that I used to make this project:


And 2nd for today we have KAREN:

I used the ScorPal to make a caddy to sit on my desk with three compartments in it. Seeing as though I use a lot of tags in my creating I thought i'd make it to fit them.

I started by cutting and scoring three identical boxes, stuck them to each other, them painted them ( in hindsight I would of painted first before cutting and scoring.) Stamped my images on cardstock, added some colour and used miracle tape to stick them on. Added in a couple of idea-ogoly embellishments and taahh dahhh a new desk caddy!

Here's a sneak peek from Sandra
Sandra Strait's blog hop inspiration goes for a Wabi-Sabi feel with her wood tag from Genuinely Jane and VLVS! stamps. She uses acrylic paints, metallic leaf, microglaze and tea-bags to capture the soft, weathered look of old tile and tennis shoes.

and one from Karen:
Karen says : Here is a peek at my project. The Genuinely Jane Timber products are awesome, and the finish of the timber makes them perfect to stamp directly onto .  I had so much fun with this. I have made a little sign to hang off rings above my creating space. Most of my creations find homes in other places, so this time it was nice to do a little something for me! I've used a base of distress crackle, and then stamped using VLVS! directly on to the Genuinely Jane  timber arrow.


Did you see those projects before you arrived here today?? If not, you're in the wrong spot! Start at Genuinely Jane Studio and make your way through the hop, you should end up here!
