Martha Stewart Scor Board

If you have one of these, or even a Scor-Pal - do you use it only for card stock? I bought one and was slightly disappointed that I can't score regular paper with it or it rips it to shreds.

I use it with card stock and I love it. If you are using regular paper then you need to use a very light touch. I also love the envelope guide that comes with it. I bought a Scor-pal before I bought the Martha Stewart and have not used it since I got the MS Scoring board. DT

I have an MS Scor Board and really love it. I have had good luck using the bone folder that came with it, but using a stylus might work better, will have to try that. I looked at both scor boards and really thought the MS was the best for me.

I have a Hougie Board ( UK ) and have recently bought a MS board. I have to say so far I prefer the Hougie board. I do like the smaller divisions of the MS board but the Hougie Board has both imperial and decimal measures and has a slightly wider grove so the paper doesn't rip. I've abandoned the tool that coms with the MS board and use an embossing tool instead.

I have a Score It board and love it, no problems with tearing with the strip being raised rather than indented.

Try holding the bone folder at a 45 degree angle. I find it's less likely to skip out of the tracks.

I had some other scoring pads that were not easy to use but when Stampin' Up! came out with Simply Scored, I just love it! The score pad has 1/4" incements and the stylus is smooth with a larger end for paper and a smaller end for heavier cardstock. And now they have the Diagonal Plate that fits on top and makes wonderful techniques and envelopes. I have a video of the Diagonal Plate on my website if you want to see how it works at http://stampwithbernie.com (It is the February posts).
