Quick and Easy Easter Card and Tutorial for Scor-Pal

Today I have a cute card for our week of Quick and Easy Easter Cards over at Scor-Pal


Card Recipe:
Image - Easter Bunny Freebie from Pink Gem
Medium - Copic Markers
Sentiment and Stickers - Hobby Lobby
Grass Die - Accucut
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Adhesive - Scor-Tape



Start with a 12" by 4" piece of cardstock, scored at 6" on the long side.



On the inside draw an egg shape for the card. I used a circle die to create the curves and then cut out with scissors.



On the flaps left at the base scored at 1/2" to create a stand for the card.



From a piece of cardstock 3" long score at 1/2" and 2" to create a hinge for added stability to help the card stand.



Attach the hinge as shown using Scor-Tape.



Decorate the card as desired. I used corrugated cardstock and die cut the grass and the Scor-Tape was perfect to hold the thicker materials

Magnolia-Licious Challenge - Clean and Simple

It's time for Team B to share their creations for the Clean and Simple challenge at Magnolia-Licious
Now I'm so not a Clean and Simple kind of cardmaker but a challenge is a challenge for a reason so I tried my best. It has a few layers, I know purist CASimplists do just one layer, but I did make sure I did no embellishments thus making the image the focus. I also got out my trusty Scor-Pal (a cardmakers must have!) and scored a double line on the base of the card and I love how a simply scored line can really finish off the card.
