Wedding Congratulations...

I handmade this card for a friend who ordered it last week for a newly wed couple. I used baby blue metallic card, a paper doily, lace, embossed daisy flowers made by Carla craft cp2 daisy punch, leaves by EK success punch and embossed sticker to create the entire lay out.
The paper lace was created with a border punch.

Arrivals of Scor pal in Centimetres

The popular Scor Pal is back and even better...now in centimeters............
Scor-Pal is a versatile scoring tool that simplifies folding for both scrapbooking and card making ... or for any paper craft at all! This extraordinarily useful tool was invented by Diana Crick, an avid scrapbooker and card maker in her own right. The Scor-Pal is a blend of her desire to teach others and her experience as a tool design expert in the polymer clay field.
The Scor-Pal consists of two pieces: a slightly-textured scoring surface, and a scoring tool. The 12"x12" scoring surface is grooved in 1/2" and 1" intervals, but also has grooves for making gate fold cards, A2 cards, and brochures -- and the raised edges of the scoring surface mean no more crooked folds! The scoring tool combines with the surface to provide crisp, quick fold lines, and mulitple folds can be scored without having to move the paper. Great tool to invest in.....

You can make a variety of card folds from gate fold to tri fold.

Can even make boxes of all shapes!
