Score 6 for the Blog Hop!






Welcome to the Pals’ May  Blog Hop. We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects with “More Than One Score.” You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Six scores and seven days ago I created the Tented Gift Box thanks to a tutorial by Sam Hammond. I was looking for a way to package gifts for nurses week. I work in health care and simply HAD to create fun packaging for the nurse's gifts. This project began in my ribbon drawer, oh what vintage product to use. I impressed myself by emptying 3 spools!!





After completing 31 boxes, I thought, what's one more? And now we come to my blog hop project.


                   Card stock: 
                   Daffodil Delight cut at 8" x 10.5"
                                             on the long side score at 3 1/2", 5", 8 1/2" & 10"
                                             on the short side score at 1 1/2" & 6 1/2"
                   Night of Navy cut at 3 3/8" x 4 7/8"
                   Whisper White and Night of Navy scraps
                   Gingham Gala Daffodil Delight cut at 3 1/4" x 4 3/4"
                   Stamp sets: Daisy Delight, A Big Thank You
                   Embellishments: Faceted Gem - gold, Night of Navy Ribbon, Layering Ovals 
                                              Framelits

To show you how quickly you can recreate this project, I made a video tutorial. My intent, as initially stated in the tutorial was to post the video with no editing. WELL....I had bow malfunction and didn't want you to cope with that, so off to editing I went!



Please post a comment if you like this project. I love to hear from you.

    1. The women received necklaces and the men received key chains. They were inscripted with a sentiment nursing related.
