Grid Technique
by Beate Johns
Create a faux tile look and/or lovely backgrounds with your scoring tool.
Supplies
- Scor-Pal™ or other scoring tool
- Ink
- Cardstock
- Stamps
- Adhesive
- Embellishments
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Line your cardstock up diagonally with a score line on the Scor-Pal.
-
Step 2
Score card stock at even intervals.
Here, the scores were made every 1/2". -
Step 3
Turn card stock 90 degrees, line up as before, and score at every 1/2" again to create a scored grid.
-
Step 4
Ink the stamp and stamp on the card stock side with the indented score lines.
Note:
Here, the background was placed wood-side down with the card stock over it. To get a partly stamped image, finger walk over the paper. -
Step 5
Add more images and sponge card stock if wanted.
-
Step 6
Finished card.

Variations
-
Flip it over
Instead of stamping on the cardstock side that has the indented score lines, stamp on the side that has the score lines facing up for a different look. -
Add a Border
Score a small border all around the card stock before adding a grid inside the score line.
Show it off
Don't stamp over the grid at all, but use it as a background.

This is just so good - looks fantastic. Thanks for showing us how it's done.
I always upload my samples in the gallery listed underneath the tutorial along with all the products I used. The stamp set is from Stampin' Up! and is called "Wonderful You".
