Like Sabrina says, you do need something with a groove in it, like paper cutters have.
Since you want the score line to "bump" out on the front side of your paper, just lightly pencil the border lines on the back of your paper, then score along those lines.
Although you can score using the groove on a paper trimmer, I would highly recommend the Martha Stewart score board. It sells for about $20 at Michaels, but you can usually find a coupon and get it for 40% to 50% off.
It is very handy not only for scoring cards, but making all kinds of 3-d items like little boxes, and it comes with a great little template to make your own envelopes lickety-split!
It's the best $10 I've spent in a long time. I use it constantly now that I have it.
