Score Board Stamp Off

Welcome to another B S & J Friday Stamp Off! This week, our challenge was to use a scoring tool or the scoring blade on our paper trimmer to create a card. Here’s mine.

I scored two lines diagonally 1/8″ apart every 1-1/2″. Simply insert your card stock into the trimmer on a diagonal with the corners along the score line and score.

Move the card stock 1/8″, then score again. Move it 1-1/2″, then score, move 1/8″ and score. Repeat until you reach the edge. Then go back to the starting point and repeat the process in the other direction.

I kind of cheated. I did use my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, but I also used the retired diagonal insert. This made the scoring process go a lot faster.

To get the “diamond” look, after you score the entire card stock piece, turn the card stock 90 degrees and repeat.

Here’s a close up of the scores.

I used an idea from Susan and stamped the little dots from the Painted Harvest Stamp Set over the scored 4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White Cardstock panel using a Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink Pad. (Just a note: It hasn’t been announced yet whether or not the Delicata Metallic Inks will carry over to the new catalog, and they’ve been very popular. If you love them, order them now!)

To finish off my card, I die-cut the Christmas Rose from the Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the Roses Dies.

And now–back to today’s card.

I die-cut an extra rose to layer under the DSP for a little extra stability. I punched a Gold Foil Sheet with the Tailored Tag Punch, then layered the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set in Lovely Lipstick Classic Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. I added the stamped/die-cut elements to a Whisper White card base.
