Today we have a special treat from
Any guesses what today’s Technique is? Going once……going twice….Yup, you guessed it! SCORING! The possibilities are endless when it comes to scoring and Core.
That is why todays winner will also receive the Ultimate Tool from Crafter’s Companion in addition to the Core Goodies! PLEASE make sure you head over to their Facebook Page and tell them how much you appreciate their support of the 12 Days of Techniques! They also have a YouTUBE page with some really great videos. Once you sign in, you can subscribe via email to get notified when they load new videos. BUT first you need to watch the Scoring Video here leave us a comment below. This is a video you don’t want to miss… there are some awesome ideas! We would love to hear what you will create with the Ultimate Tool from Crafter’s Companion and I am sure they would, too so tell them on their Facebook page 
Today’s project comes from Mindy Ayers using the Crafter’s Companion Ultimate Tool to create the box itself and the embossed lines on the tag. The pre-embossed Cardstok for the box is Core Impressions Jenni Bowlin Vintage Brights and some Core Essentials for the tag.
Check out this close-up. Mindy cut the letters right from the Jenni Bowlin Alpha Cardstock! I know I have said this 1000x’s before but Core’dinations is so versatile!!!
AND Mindy has one more example for us today. Check out how these ornaments are hanging on this card! Yup, you guess it…she scored the lines in the black magic and then sanded them. C-L-E-V-E-R!
Now we are ready for a WINNER!!!

I can never distress too much. LOVE all things distressed. It is my go to technique. That is why I LOVE Core’dinations. The paper is such high quality (and still reasonably priced) that I know it will withstand whatever I throw at it. Combine Core’dinations with Tim Holtz and I am in heaven!!

I would love to use the Crafters companion with my Coordinations paper to make some rosettes! Thanks for the chance to win! cjdempsey9 at msn dot com
Beautiful projects! Scoring is one of those things I do when making cards, not a technique for decorating. I always forget that one! Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the box and card. Would love to have a crafters companion.
I just love this technique and love how it gives texture to so many things. Fabulous projects and this would make scoring projects so easy. Thanks for a chance.
I would LOVE a score board! I’ve been asking Santa very nicely but he’s not much of a crafter
I love to use the scoring technique to make cool designs on my paper before sanding it!
love that box!! I know I’d make more fun things like that with a scoring board and I’ve heard awesome things about Crafter’s Companion Ultimate Tool!
I would use the Crafters companion to make some great cards and to score some Coordinations paper for use on really cool scrapbook layouts.
Love the box and card. What a fabulous prize and it would look great under my Christmas tree!
I have two scoreboards already, but the Ultimate tool can do so much more ! I love the different types of lines you can use to accent a card, layout, or tag, really…anything ! So perfect with Core’dinations !
This is great, Love that box! It gives your present inside a special touch!
Love to win this Tool and make that box
Scoring is one I have yet to try. After seeing the cute box and the ornaments I most definitely will put that to work!! On a side note, did a cute layout with distressing yesterday thanks to you!!
This little box is so cute. The Ultimate tool can do so much more ! I love the different types of lines you can use to accent a paper project! So perfect with Core’dinations! Thank you.

Oh, I love this technique. Hadn’t ever thought of it before. The ornaments are adorable dangling from the scored lines like string. Fantastic idea!
Thanks for sharing this technique; I haven’t tried scoring as of yet….but I’m off to play. Beautiful projects. T4S
I love the card with the Christmas decorations hanging….so cute! I do score on my work, but after seeing these samples, I’m sure to do it more often!
I, like many others score every card I create, but often forget how beautiful scoring as decoration can be. Thanks for the inspiration today.
