Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Joyce wants to know: "I notice that you use a stylus when you use your score board instead of the bone folder. Is there a reason for this or just personal choice?"
A: A bit of both! The tool that came with my board tends to wear down with time and the tip spreads out flat, not really fitting into the groove. I find that I get a nice even score with the rounded metal head of the stylus, and I don't have to worry about it changing shape. The barrel of the stylus seems easier to hold than the flat tool. Also, if I want a more pronounced score line as an accent on a card, I'll use a smaller stylus that can get further into the groove.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Michelle has a tip for the Side Spring Card: "For those of us that use Metric measurements: Cut standard A5 card (15 x 21cm). Score cardstock at 7.5cm on the short side. Turn cardstock 90 degrees and score at 7.5 and 10.5cm on the long side. Then continue with the rest of Beate's excellent easy-to-follow directions."
