How do you fold your cards?
Do you use a scoring blade or just a bone folder?

Usually, I use my fingers and then, if the cardstock is thick, I set the fold with a bone folder. Unless I'm folding the paper against the grain, in which case I definitely score first, then fold and set with the bone folder.

I keep the scoring blade on my Cutterpede all the time, and I just use that. The bone folder never works well for me! I guess I'm bone folder-challenged!

I guess I'm old fashion since I just use my fingers. I don't own a bone folder & I always seem to mess it up with the scoring blade. I am curious about the scor-pal, but just not sure I would use it that much for the money.

I also just use a bone folder. I have two different cutters that I can add the scoring blade to, but I never do. I only use those for projects.

I love my Scor Pal. I use it for every card. I use to just use my bone folder, but cards look so much nicer when I use the Scor Pal!

I actually use a old wood mounted stamp. It works great as I still did NOT buy me a bone folder!

I use the cutting groove in my Fiskars paper trimmer, and run down it with the tip of my bone folder to score.

I use my Scor-it to score and then my bone folder to crease well.

Scor-It (
check out this new mini ) and then use a bone folder to finish the job. I asked Santa for a teflon bone folder that is a dream to use as it doesn't leave a shine like my other one. You can find them on
Ellen Hutson's store.

First I use the scoring blade on my Fiskars cutter, then I follow up with the bone folder to get the crease nice and crisp!

Right now I use my Fiskar score blade on my cutter, since I don't use that thing anymore, but a scor-pal is going to be coming soon. I don't like the bone folder, I get marks that I don't like. I blame it on being left-handed
I know that isn't the problem though.
