Thank you so very much for this review. I have had the ScorPal for several years and love it. I also had the Martha Stewart one but only used it when I needed the 1/8th inch scoring. I recently found out that ScorPal has now come out with a new one that has 1/8th measures and purchased that one. Gave my Martha Stewart one to a friend. For a long time I rarely needed the 1/8th scoring so wasn't much of an issue, but I've done more fun fold cards lately so this new ScorPal is perfect for my needs.
Thanks Alexandra! I love your ten minutes or less reviews. I always learn something, last time I learned what to do with my sticky paper I had just gotten and you know what I did something really cool with that. In addition to using it in my Misty to hold my card stock I put it on the lid because I have these scripty sayings from lawn fawn that were still on their original packaging and I was able to stick all of them to the lid of my Misty by using the sticky paper and then stamp them repeatedly and perfectly all at once. It was great. I want you to know that I also use my score buddy all the time and I never knew until just right now that you could push a little button and the bone folder pops out. I’ve been using my thumbnail to go under it from the front and release it all this time.
thank you for all the info. i really appreciate your time.
I have the scoremaster from crafters companion and love it. It has an inch side and a cm side. Best part is the top and bottom measurements markings are offset just slightly to make box making super easy!!!
I have the large Martha Stewart score board which also does envelopes. It works great, but measurements are hard to see. I have Score Buddy as well, love that the measurements are clearly visible. Love your pink hair👍🏻
That was a great review. Thanks!
Martha Stewart all day long!! I have both the large and small. The small one is marked A2 at the top which makes scoring for your card bases so easy. Use the large one mainly for rosettes and box making. Love them, wouldn’t trade them for any other.
Like some previous commenters, I have a hard time with keeping my scoring tool in its track. I bought the Martha Stewart large combined scoreboard and movable cutter just to move the cutter mechanism, which is like an attached ruler, to the chosen score track so I could use the side of the "ruler" to steady my hand. The actual blade holder was unwieldy so I removed it, keeping the ruler. But it was too large and heavy so I gave up on it. Now I use the Stampin Up combined wire cutter/scorer for my card bases.
I have an artemio one which is pretty well the same as those featured. I’ve been wanting one for ages and this one is great. Has a slot to store the scorer and also does envelopes. Good price too
Hi Alexandra! This was a great review! I have the large Martha Stewart one which I found to be too cumbersome, but it does have an envelope maker on the back. I just purchased the We R Memory Keepers at Tuesday Morning for $3.99. I like it a lot but I still sometimes use my paper cutter to score out of convenience after I cut my paper. Thank you so much for all you do for us. ~ katz
I love my ScorPal and ScorBuddy!!! I use the buddy for classes and crops as it travels well with the case. And it makes envelopes but I prefer my envelope board.
I had the MS version first but hated it! Jumped the track, tore paper, the tool kept falling out of the well which never stayed closed. Grrrr! Lost one and when I wrote to the company about a replacement, they never replied.
My Scor brand tools work so well for me and I rarely ruin my paper anymore. ❣️❣️❣️ And, Diana is a sweet lady!!
This is exactly the video I needed. I’m going to buy a Scor-Pal.
I have the WeR Memory Keepers board and I was having a heck of a time reading the markings. I found an old roll of tape measure washing tape and stuck it to the tope and side and now I use it for all my scoring.
Hello Alexandra! I noticed your sniffles are better, YaY!!! I was wondering what Greg gave you for your birthday & if you finally got your sundae from across the street. All the lovely flowers look so beautiful behind you in your craft room, thanks for sharing those with all of us, so lovely to see flowers!!! Thanks for sharing your time and review on these 3 scoreboards. 🥰🤗💐💗
Very Helpful Video.
Thank you!
I have the large Martha Stewart score board. However, I just find it too big for most of my projects and card making. To make it more user-friendly, I simply used some Washi tape and/or a sharpie to mark where I score the most often when making cards. That way, like with the Scor Buddy, I always knew where to score every time. 😊
I just ordered a Score bunny thanks! This was perfect!
In the uk and I have the hunkydory scoreboard and it’s amazing makes boxes without having to measure each piece it works base n lid out for you both cm n inch sides lovely size n now has a self healing mat that pops into score board making it a easy to use work space can’t speak more highly about it amazing .I have the crafters companion buddy but it’s bulk stops me using it n also slide out of unit a lot x
I love my big Martha Stewart scoring board that comes with the envelope tool. It has the envelope tool tucked away under it and it doesn’t come off unless you pull it. It has a little compartment at the top for the bone folder that fits not only the bone folder, but also a pen/pencil, craft knife (pen shape), eraser, (< all at once, I’ve tried it), etc.. It is perfect for my studio and I’m so mad I didn’t get the small one while it was still being sold. Also, it is made by ekSucess by the way, and they still make their version of it without the storage compartment, but with the clip in area for the bone folder instead. just like the small one.
I do need, and will get, a smaller one for toting around the house and travel, but I like the colors of the WRMK one and like the back of the ekSucess one because of the idea of not having to shift my paper for envelope making. Wish they ekSucess sold the bone folder in a different color though because that yellow is not cute. 😂
Thank you for the comparison and review! Very helpful. How does it compare with Stampin Up Scoring Plate? BTW your ring is quite beautiful!!
I love your videos. One thing though, the scoring increments on the boards are 1/8" and not 1/4". That difference may influence someone's decision when purchasing online. I have 2 large and 2 small score boards and use them for many different projects. It all depends on the size paper or cardstock I'm scoring. Thank you for your videos.
I love the Scor buddy. I have a Scor Pal but it just took up too much real estate on my table. I wish they developed a Teflon folder that would fit in the holder at the top, that would be perfect ❤️
I have a large Martha Stewart that I used with a Teflon bone folder. I recently replaced it with the Scor-Buddy simply because of size. I really like it, but if you work with larger pieces of paper, the MS works great. The Scor-Buddy is simply more convenient.
Great video. Thanks!!
The current EK and ScorPal have lines at 1/8th of an inch. I have both and love them! Use the EK when need to score a longer line.
Also now use the Teflon bone folder, love it!
Has anyone else gotten the Ultimate Craft Tool from Crafters Companion? It’s a purple, plastic small briefcase like all-in-one that has a scoreboard, a side to make envelopes and enveloboxes, plus a side that helps make gift boxes of all shapes and sizes, limited by your paper size. It also helps you easily make all sorts of different kinds of cards like an easel card, a constantina card, a gate-fold card, and with separate plates it holds inside, it can make crazy cool cards like the exploding card, the purse card, the metamorphic card and the stepper card. It also has designs on it that you can emboss onto your card and envelope, etc. Inside it also holds a cutter to cut paper (although I find that hard to use and still prefer my Fiskars paper trimmer), part of the trimmer guide becomes a ruler, there’s pegs you stick in pre-made holes for bow making and plastic but efficient embossing and bonefolder tools. You can buy other plates that get stored inside the Ultimate, that have different embossings on them. Note: you emboss things you want to cut as well, like tracing an outline. It comes with a dvd-rom that teaches you a lot plus you can buy others to learn even more techniques. Some you can just find on TH-cam. Sara Davies is the inventor/creator of the Ultimate and has won awards for this tool. It was huge in its homeland of Britain and then was pretty big here back in the 80’s, I believe, but I never hear anyone talk about using it now so, I was just wondering if anyone has heard of and/or uses one. I got mine a couple of years ago on HSN. I love it! It really is useful, especially to bring to a crop because a lot of your tool and decorations are built in it. You just need paper and adhesive, oh, and scissors. For some reason they don’t include scissors. The other funny thing is, it only has ever come in purple.
Purple is their corporate colour like Tonic stuff is orange.
Mine is in my garage for sale, too bulky for me.
sylvia g Awww! Sorry to hear that. ☹️ But I do understand what you mean. It is kind of clunky. 🤫
Anne-Marie Stevenson Oh, that makes sense! Duh on me. 🤪 Thanks for writing back. 😊
sylvia g what are you selling it for?
I have an original ScorPal - have probably had it close to 15 years. It only has half inch grooves, except for 3 or 4 spots. I need one of the newer ones with all small grooves.
I have the original Scor-Pal which I found to be so unwieldy because of its size so I jumped at the chance to purchase the Martha Stewart one when I found it on sale at Michael’s. I was disappointed when I ruined more than a few cards by the score tool slipping out of the groove half way through my scoring! I was thrilled when the Scor-Buddy appeared, and by the time I purchased mine it was scored at 1/8” all over. It’s my go-to scoring accessory and, yes, I store mine in its little ‘travel’ pouch after every use 😄. Alexandra, always learn something from your videos: scoring twice! Lovely flowers!!! ❤️
Thanks Didi, my room smells amazing :-)
Your hair reminds me of the design for Torvill and Dean's costumes at the 1994 olympics. Looks great 🙂
I have the big scor pal in inches and I love it
I have the Martha Stewart edition, but the little plastic piece the bone folder slides under to hold it in place snapped off shortly after I got it, so the bone folder is now always loose and harder to keep track of..
I've got the EK Success board & I have to say I'm not a huge fan. I'm going to change over to the Score-Buddy. I's toyed with the idea & your review just made my mind up for me! The ones I've seen also have marks at 1/8" which will help me no end. Being in England none of my rulers have such small measurements.
Was looking for a mini score board as the one I have now over 10 years old is Martha Stewarts MAMMOTH SIZED. Lovely as that is it's just way too big for most of the projects as in it takes up sooo much room. I do have it quick to grab but NO rarely ever do. So I was thinking about the We-R but decided to search more. Now today I found Amazon carries the so called Scor-buddy but it's again got multiple lines every 1/8" and so quite different today in 2022 than when this one was demonstrated. I kind of like your style shown here today. However I think I'll order the Amazon as it's a reduced price today compared to googled prices elsewhere plus shipping. Now a real FUNNY when I returned decided to read a few reviews here and several reviews down someone is saying the almost exact thing they too have the Martha Stewarts HUGE score board!!!! I should sell mine or gift it. I would gift it but twice it was rejected and sadly it's size was the reason. It's a great score board and no doubt what was top of the choices around 12 years plus ago too. But just gotta have a mini. Thanks for the comparison review today it is very helpful.
WISH the Martha Stewart had a pouch...might MAKE one. My scoreboard grooves are always full of dirt/paper lint & glitter & stuff. A pouch sure would help with that!
I have an older Scor-pal I got 2nd hand. How much I appreciate having it but it being too big to be convenient is why I picked up the EK one when it was on sale at a local shop. Sadly, my EK one has been misplaced in my room since my sweetie moved stuff out of his way to do some maintenance on my computer. I have found all other things he moved but not that :( I know I'll find it when I move to the other room in a couple weeks and that will make me so happy.
Rijacki Ledum ☹️I do hope you find it soon. I misplaced my new glue gun and am now forced to use my old yucky one. I use mini guns so next trip to the store, I’m getting another one! 😏
The Martha Stewart is much the same as the We R ,even with the envelope directions on the back. I have the mini version which have the common card size scores indicated at the top.
I love my Martha Stewart...works great for my needs
The Martha Stewart score board costs between $10 and $20 depending on where you buy it! It’s my favorite score board!
I love my Score Easy by Vaessen Creative :)
Useful demo
I love my score pal and score buddy, another thing I use mine for is if you place your card base firmly in the corner it makes it so easy to mat the front panel on to your card by lining it up in the corner..... Also Alex I can’t believe you actually put your score buddy in its cover...xx
Thanks lol!
I had a Martha Stewart one but found I had difficulty scoring. The bone folder often slipped and ruined sheets of card stock.I haven’t replaced it; Im just trying to figure out which one is the better one. I don’t do massive amounts of cards but would like to design with it as well. Thank you for the review.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
I find the same with the EK and We R; but I find the Scor Buddy far more reliable
I have the large one too and love it, I use a metal styles with a small ball on it ( not to small) this give a nice score line and if I do thin type of paper I use a larger ball for that, I hope this helps, Cheers Anna.
I appreciate your replies to my comments.Thank you ladies.
I love my score buddy! I have several others but I always reach for my score buddy.
I am sooo angry at my MS board. It isn’t aligned correctly!! I have always had problems with things I’ve made with it and only yesterday realized that the upper left corner isn’t square!!!
Good day Lizelle here from South Africa I just watched your scoring board video, I have the scorpal as well but in cm so I struggle to convert inches to cm I so badly want to make little boxes but the video I watched today don't give you the measurements in cm so I'm confused. Can you please help me to understand the scorpal better, I'm very new to this. Greetings from South Africa🌹
I just purchased the We R mini scoreboard. The numbers aren't visible. And, I don't know how to emboss the images. There are no instructions. I'm sure it's simple, but I'm new at this.
I noticed everyone uses non printed material. How well does it do with printed material? Does it crack the ink or make the paper look less then desirable?
Scorbuddy do a metric one with folds for A6 and A5 for us Europeans.
Thank you
is there a measuring tape we can buy to use on all trimmers to show the measurements for scoring ?
Hi Cheryl, most of them have markers printed on so im not sure what you are looking for; Misti sell self adhesive tapes, maybe those might be what you are looking for?
I was wondering if any of you ladies would be able to help me please? I need a good scoreboard for making jewellery boxes, for bracelets and earrings. Could any of you ladies recommend one please?
Thank you
Have you tried the cutterpillar?
Have you ever used the Martha Stewart one? I THINK it was actually the first - MAYBE...Had mine for YEARS...HAS EXTRA TOOL & ENC GUIDE IN BACK... WANNA SEE THAT TRIANGULAR TOOL USED...I'VE NO CLUE!!!
I have used that triangle tool to position my cardstock and score diamond lines on it for a card background. Makes an elegant, simple card with a stamped sentiment layered over it.
It is work on paper 250gsm???pls
I'm making my own wedding invitations using the pocketfold invite idea - through this i have to score A2 Card which has been cut down to 6in width and 23in height - would the EK Scoreboard work for this?
I'm assuming you mean A2 European with 23 inches? none of them go to 23 inches
@@HedgehogHollow 23.4 inches to be exact :') it will be cut down by a little but not much - If I was just scoring lines for the folds (pretty much the 6inch mark) would it still work even though the part of the card already scored would be hanging over the barrier? sorry for the confusion
Yes it would but I would suggest the full size versions; ideally the scorpal IMHO but go full size rather than the minis for card making
I Love my Martha Stewart!
Debbie Cooper I love mine too. I’ve had it for years and years.
Norma Spencer Me, three!
Me four! I love my Martha Stewart!
So no one here has had a problem with theirs not being square? I didn’t know mine had this problem until I recently had soo many problems making my mini album!! Of course they don’t even make them anymore.
Isn't half of UK A4 sized paper equal to 4 and 1/8 inches?
Where did you get your Apple Watch band? So cute! 😊
Hi Jean, it's Kate Spade from Macy's I love it too!
I think the score lines can be every 1/8th inch rather than every 1/4th inch
Can you get score buddy in th3 UK?
Yes i found it here for you :-) www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/scor-buddy?variant=21254900219986
You can get it from Amazon.co.uk too.
The prices for those score boards are too high! I bought my Martha Stewart score board with a 50%off coupon and so it cost me under $11! Those other score boards cost from $50 to $80!
It is work on paper 250gsm???pls
