2 Sketches 4 U - Scor-It Tutorial

This week at 2 Sketches 4 U,
the design team was sponsored by Score-It.
Each of us was generously given a Mini Scor-It
& I can't say enough about this wonderful tool!!
Not only is it easy to use,
but since I'm left-handed,
they have made it easy for us "lefties" to use!!
Here is the project I made using the Score-It.
I made a gift-card holder
& then placed it inside this little basket.
It was an easy project,
& I didn't even use a template!!!

The first thing to remember when making a score that will fold is it's VERY important that you lay your project face down on the mat. In other words, the side you score should be the INSIDE of the project. Then simply start your tool in the notch above where your paper lays and start your score.
You will see I placed the gift card on my paper,
as a guide as to where to place my score lines.

Once I scored the top & bottom of the gift card,
I simply folded my paper over & it folds so easily too.

Next, I wanted to made some inside edges that would keep the gift card "inside" the holder.
So, I scored (using the gift card as my guide), along the left & right edges.

Then I simply folded the left & right edges in towards the gift-card
& then cut the excess from the top & bottom folds.

Here is what it looks like folded together with the gift-card inside.
You'll notice I also used a border punch.

I also used the Score-It to make lines that were decorative
& not necessarily to be folded, like you will see in the next 2 pictures.

And the finished product.
I used some velcro to keep the entire thing closed.

And now for the basket:
I started by cutting a circle & NOT removing the circle cutter from the paper.
By doing this, I could keep the "center" of the circle.

I traced a rectangular piece in the middle.

And then scored over the pencil lines.

Using a ruler, I drew lines, extending from the corners of the rectangle,
to the outer edge of my circle.

And then I scored these lines.

Once I had all my lines scored,
you can see I simply folded them "inward" & glued them together.

And my finished basket,
which I stuffed w/shredded patterned paper
& used eyelets to hold the ribbon.

Still enjoying some time in SanDestin.
The girls are w/my in-laws,
headed to Six Flags over GA.
I will miss them tremendously.
This is the first time they've taken a trip w/out me!!
I see lots of house-cleaning!!
