Okay, here's how I made this card:



1. Begin with a 5 x 12 inch cardstock base. Score the cardstock at 6inches.



2. Cut a 4 3/4 x 5 3/4 piece of paper. Layer it on the cardstock base, then cut a 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of paper. Using the Made in USA ink pad ink the edges of the paper and layer it on top of that piece.



3. Next cut a 5 x 3 piece of cardstock the same color as your base. Layer a coordinating piece of patterned paper 5 x 2 and layer it on the 5 x 3 piece. Using a border punch of your choice, punch along the bottom edge of this piece. Attach to card as shown.



4. Using the Made in USA ink pad, stamp image on a coordinating piece of paper, cut it out and attach it to the front of the card. Stamp the card's sentiment.



5. Add ribbon, button, and stick pin to finish the card.

Clearsnap & Scor-Pal Summer Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Clearsnap & Scor-Pal Summer Blog Hop! Our lovely design teams have created some wonderful summer fun projects with Score-Pal, brimming with inspiration and of course, lots of Clearsnap inks! Visit each design team member's blogs to see what inspiring projects they have to share. We'll choose a winner from all of the comments posted to receive a prize pack and another from Scor-Pal!

Alright! Today I'm sharing with you how to make a fun Summer Drink Pack!
Materials Used From Scor-Pal and Clearsnap:


Other Materials Used:



  • Unity Stamps

  • BoBunny Cardstock and Ribbon

  • Double Sided Tape

  • Button

  • Black Floss
1. I started out using THIS template from Clear and Simple Stamps.


2. I cut out the template pieces and used my Scor-Buddy to score all the dotted lines.


3. Next I folded on all the fold lines to form the treat pack. I then folded the inside dividers and attached it to the inside of the tread pack.
4. Next, I made the front panel for my treat pack my using scraps from my paper stash. I made a label by matting bright yellow onto a black background. I then used my stamps to stamp my beverages from a variety of colored scraps. I paper pieced them onto the front panel and attached it to the front of the treat pack.

5. I then used double-sided tape to put the side panels together.

6. I cut the oval handle out and attached my ribbon.




7. Finally I added my drink packets to complete my Summer Drink Pack!


I hope you try out this fun treat pack! Instead of drinks, you can add any treat you like...the sky's the limit!
