Instructions
 |
To start the card: Cut a strip of dark coloured cardstock that is 3" wide and 12" long. Use a soapstone pencil to draw a line approximately 1/2" along the bottom. The soapstone pencil line easily brushes off when you are done. |
|
Writing your message
Use the Inkssentials pen to letter a greeting. Just use your handwriting! It's such a special touch. |

Making the Funky Scor-it Letters
Print out your full size letter guide. Click here to open and print the guide.
|
You may wish to make yourself a template before you start by drawing out the word or name on a piece of copy paper. That way you will know how long your card will be! Create your own letter shapes - you may have better ideas than mine! |
 |
Don't try to make your letters perfectly - think Funky! Use your template to help you "draw" each line. You may wish to practice on some copy paper. I often use my left hand to feel the rail under the cardstock if I am going to match up 2 strokes of a letter.
|
 |
Use the Scor-it board near the middle of the rail. You won't need the centering ruler for this step! |
|
Continue until you have made all the letters. Trim your cardstock if necessary.

|
Here I just used my finger to rub on Sunburst from Luster Rub-Ons Color Kit #4. You can layer colours or use a different color on each letter. It's up to your playful whims! |
Depending on how hard you pressed, how dark your cardstock is or how patterned or textured your paper is, you may wish to highlight the Scor-it letters with Rub-On Metallics or a pigment stamp pad. You should do this before you create your accordion folds. |
|
Mount your card on another piece of cardstock using double-sided tape. |
|
 |
Now you can use the Scor-it the way it was intended. Use the centering guide to score half way along your card and then score each side in half to make 4 equal panels. |
|
Add some brads for a special detail |
Fold your card and give it to someone special! |
