Scor-Pal Harvest Cookie Box
by Tya Smith

Fall has always been my favorite holiday! From getting to wear fuzzy slippers and over sized hoodies- to football and crunching leaves - this season just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Being a self proclaimed Foodie - I look forward to yummy soups and ciders and my favorite baked goods! I love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies - they just scream fall food to me, so I thought it would be fun to spread the fall love with this cute little box that can hold a few delicious baked goods.

I used my Scor-pal tool to make the box and followed this tutorial to make it. I added a layered pattern paper bow and some mini flowers with a bright red sprinkle in the middle. Add a "Grateful for You" sentiment and get ready to send it to that special someone who deserves a little treat.


Welcome to the Neighborhood
by Wendy Sue Anderson

I love the 'harvest homes' patterned paper and thought it would be perfect as a paper wrap for a loaf of yummy banana bread for our new neighbors.  I also used one of the 4x6 cards and a few little embellishments.  Even though it's not quite autumn, it has a nice homey feel and I'm excited to share it!

Be sure to check out my blog, I'll be posting the recipe to this yummy Banana Bread.

Dude Card 

by Tiffany Hood

The Scor-Pal was a lot of fun to use! Here I made a multi-dimensional card base by cutting and scoring a regular piece of 12" x 4.5" cardstock.

I'll have a full step-by-step photo tutorial over on my blog showing how I made the card base and the rosette.

Tuesday Tutorial: Bag in a Box

Hi everyone, Lori here and I'm excited to fill in for today's Tuesday Tutorial. We're so excited to be featured Scor-Pal this week on the Doodlebug Blog and I'm super excited that you all have a chance to win some Scor-pal and Doodlebug goodies. 

Today I'm showing you how to make this darling Bag in a Box. This is not my design at all, I am a huge fan of a darling blog called The Little Blue Room. She does all sorts of tutorials and darling projects that you'll all go CRAZY over. So be sure to check out here blog and even her tutorial on this Bag in a Box project. 

You'll need to cute the following: 

5" x 11" Black & White Polka Dot Paper

1" x 11" Red Petite Pattern Paper

4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Petite Pattern Paper

Using your Scor-Pal board, score the 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" square 1" on all four sides. Score and cut as shown in image below.

 Assemble your box "base" using strong adhesive. Then you'll take your black and white paper strip and adhere that all the way around the base and adhere down the side to create a sort of cone.

 Using a border punch or scalloped scissors to punch one edge of the red petite print 1" x 11" strip.

Punch out two tab punches if you have this awesome Stampin' Up punch, if not two circle punches glued together would look cute too. 

Then you'll want to embellish the front of your Bag with some yummy 

Doodle-Pops and Doodle Twine. 

Then fill our Bag in a Boxes with some treats or lotion and nail supplies. I'll be surprising a 

couple of friends with these sweet little gifts.
