Sympathy - One Layer Geometric

After checking the challenge at Less is More a little more closely it suggested that the card should include geometric or pattern. 
I designed a new card which meets the challenge more closely.
I chose several Stampin Up digital images.
Classic Dad - Diamond background
Wonderful Wings - Butterfly 2
Teeny Tiny Wishes - With Sympathy
Punch Shapes - Modern Label Punch
I chose Certainly Celery for the diamond pattern background and Night of Navy for the butterfly, sentiment and Modern Label punch.  I put the diamond layer on the bottom half of the Whisper White card. I placed the butterfly above the diamond layer and the sentiment onto the label punch shape onto the diamond pattern.  I placed texture with a scored line around the card edge.

Tools - Scor-Pal Cutting Mat

I finally found a cutting mat for my Scor-Pal. I've had it for 18 months (check out my original posting) and a week ago found the cutting mat that fits in it at my local scrapbooking store. When the mat is in it creates a flat surface to work on which means it can stay on your work surface and do double duty.

Simple Cards with Holder

Another set of simple cards. A lot of color options and uses small scraps of paper. I started with buttons in my collection and went from there. I layered 2 contrasting Stampin Up! Five Petal punchies and layered to button in the centre. A Zot holds the button down. The paper piercing are made with a Cutter Bee Bug that pierces a single row of holes. You just push it along and the wheel turns to create a line of nice evenly spaces perforations. I used my Scor Pal to make sure the lines were straight. The cardholder is my sisters design. The holder holds 4 cards and envelopes. I offered these as incentive to my Card Club participants.

Card Club - May - Scallop Note

This is a very simple note card. I used my Scor-Pal to create the embossed lines on the front of the card. The Stampin Up! scallop punch and 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 punches do such a great job. The white daisy shape is a die cut flower I purchased at Michaels in the wedding section. They come in many colors and I hear crafters are coloring the white ones with ink, etc. The greeting was color printed onto the card before it was folded. Again any color combination is possible. I had yellow, pink, orange, purple. A full rainbow of possibilities.

Scor-Pal Tool - Very good investment

The Score Pal tool was a great investment! I love it! It was expensive but after preparing 200 card kits in the last seven days it was invaluable. The score is straight, smooth and consistent. It handles 12x12 paper which just adds to it's versatility. My last tool was a scoring blade on my paper cutter. A little wobbly and not always straight. The scoring grooves provide all the popular measurements like 4.25, 5.5 and a bunch more. The scallop card had two scores at it was very fast to get them both done!

I would highly recommend it to anyone who makes cards on a regular basis.
