Heart-felt gifts come in small packages and sometimes making nice gifts for a lot of people can be a challenge – not to mention time consuming.  Make small gifts special by tucking them into a handmade tag/gift card pocket.  Start with a 6”X6” piece of paper of your choice and score crossways at the 3” marks.  Then create a score from corner to corner from two of the previous scores.  Fold that flap up to form the bottom of the tag pocket.  Place the folded flap against the scoring ruler and score approx. ½” from both sides and fold in to form the pocket flaps.  Adhere the flaps down.  You have a cute little pocket!  You can create your own tags, but why not make it easy and Smooch Spritz some shipping tags from the office supply store.  Add sentiments to these and glue dot a gift card to the tag!  Voila!   

Trim all the 6”X6” pieces you need with the Zutter Dreamkuts and score a bunch with your Scor-it-All in front of the TV.  You can have a batch done in no time flat.  Personalize the pockets for your lucky gift recipients.
Tune in to Nan’s blog on tomorrow to see how she incorporates these pockets and tags into another Zutter-fied homemade project!

If you have read this far, then you now know that we have a special-double-secret giveaway just for this blog and the die hards who have read all the way through! Leave a comment here and be part of a random drawing for a Scor-it-All Mini Scoring Board and Envelope Template!  We will draw a random name from all comments left on Wednesday, November 9!  Domestic U.S. entries only.

 Use the Scor-it-All Envelope Template on your choice of paper.  You can either trace with a cutting blade on a mat, or trace with a pencil and trim with scissors. Follow the score lines marked on the template and score and fold.  Use adhesive on the bottom flap edges and fold to seal the sides.  When using one sheet of 12”X12” paper, you can make one envelope and one card – the card will measure 4 ½” wide by 11” long, and fold longways.  When using lots of different, coordinating papers, you can mix and match the cards to envelopes and vice versa!  Use ClearSnap inks and chalks to edge the papers, and embellish as you wish.  We like simple stickers and pieces of plain cardstock for writing sentiments and notes.

Let’s start off the handmade fun with these fun décor pieces.  These are super easy to make and can be designed for any occasion.  We used the large Scor-it-All scoring board to create pleated folds on 4”X8” patterned paper.  Make your crafting easy and start with some pre-cut 8”X 8” paper.  The nice thing about paper pads like this is that you don’t have to fret about finding coordinating papers and colors. They all go together! By the way, I am using my "old school" Scor-it-All - which simply means, before they were made pink!  The current Scor-it-All boards are pink to match the Bind-it-All and Dreamkuts!  I am sort of true to my long time tools!  ;)
For each “rosette” we used four 4”X 8” strips, scored accordion style at ½” increments.  What does accordion style mean?  It means make a score, then flip the paper over and score at the next ½” increment.  That way the folds will flip over in the opposite direction with each fold.  Use a strong, fast drying liquid adhesive and adhere the ends together, then flip the whole strip around in a circular fashion (when the adhesive is nice and dry).  You’ll want to have a circle (or in this case, a scalloped circle) on hand to adhere to the top of the rosette to keep it from popping up.  Then use some relatively lightweight, but firm “paper weights” to hold it down while it dries!  We like to let ours dry for a good long time, and then finish the embellishing. 
Note, you can punch the edges of the paper before you score to add a nice trim to the rosette.  Or, try the Zutter Distrezz-it-all  for a nice ruffled look.  Use ClearSnap chalk or ink to add definition to the edges, and embellish away!  We adhered our rosettes to thin dowels and used them for a holiday centerpiece.  You can make them smaller or bigger, depending on your mood – but always use the Scor-it-All for clean, crisp, professional scores and folds!


Tune in to Nan’s blog on Sunday to see how she incorporates a smaller version of these rosettes into another Zutter-fied homemade project!
