she scores AGAIN!

ok, so yesterday we discovered the beautiful precision with which you can score and fold using the scor-it board…but if you’re like me, you’re a multi-tasker, and you want your TOOLS to be, too. so i’m guessing you wanna know, "what else can it do??" well, it sure does EMBOSS* nicely! ok, so you can only make straight lines…but you can line them up at 1/16” apart, so there’s a lot of scope there.

for example, how 'bout embossing the texture on plaid patterned paper?

(cardstock: basic grey; patterned paper & diecute flower: my mind's eye; florals: prima; brad: making memories; ribbon: queen & co; rub-ons: creative imaginations; ink: colorbox)

or perhaps you'd prefer to make an overlapping frame on a card base, and highlight the petals on a pre-made diecut flower:

(patterned paper: basic grey; diecut flower: my mind’s eye; brad & eyelets: making memories; other: color box inks, foam tape)

speaking of frames, a simple embossed channel would be a nice way to set off a line of inchies, wouldn't it? (you could also make a whole grid of them...or even highlight just one...)

(patterned paper: basic grey, k&co, paper company; rub-ons: hambly, scenic route; sticker: 7 gypsies; flower: prima; gem: mambi; ink: colorbox; chalk: pebbles; foam tape: 3m)

finally, i made some notched spaces in which to place sunburst rays of patterned paper, and then fashioned some nested 3-D stars as a centerpiece:

(patterned paper: basic grey; chipboard stars (used as templates): fancy pants; brad: making memories; other: color box inks, pebbles ink, foam tape)

of course, you needn't stop there: how about over-and-under-lapping grid designs on a solid background? how about lattices covered with tiny prima flowers? how about raised faux stitching effects around (or within) a design? how about texturizing other geometric patterned papers? how about emphasizing details in an entire bouquet of flower petals and leaves?? how about making a raised grid for mosaic effects?

and if that isn't enough for you, why not check out the design team's ideas?! there's a whole gallery full of scor-it goodness for your delight--ENJOY!

*i'm sure there are papercrafters who can photograph embossed paper items and make them look as cool as they do in real life...but alas...i am not of their number. even with the best lighting my household provides, the camera on macro mode, and all scoring highlighted with a bit of chalk or ink or both...my photos don't really do these babies justice. they look--and feel!--much more fab irl! you're just gonna have to trust me on this! :)
