I'm brand new to Cricut and just trying to learn the basics. Such an informative tutorial! I think I will be taking my stylist back to get the scoring wheel. Right now i'm just scoring paper but in the future I might want to score boxes.
Thank you so much ! This tutorial was very helpful learning about the scoring tools . I just got a Cricut for Christmas and I am still trying to understand what I can create. Again , keep on doing what you are doing because Iam sureI am not the only one !
WOW!!! I usually don’t comment on tutorials, but I am SO VERY IMPRESSED right now, I just have to. Your camera angles, your editing, your explanations, and BEST NON=PROFESSIONAL speaking skills are over the top awesome. Besides REALLY knowing your cricut accessories, you can also explain them and how they work, with almost NO UM’S!!! I realize that seems trivial and picky, but if I take the time to watch someone’s video on ‘their’ specialty, the LAST thing I want to hear is UM, every other word. It makes me lose focus and there have been times I have had to just mute the whole thing and watch, it was that bad. THANK YOU for taking the time to produce a great tutorial and informational video!!!! Oh, and I soooo hit that subscribed button!!! Maybe you could make a youtube about how to successfully youtube?!?!?!?! Keep up the wonderful work! M
OMG, Angie. I have been watching many videos and your the only one that explains HOW to use the stylus with the maker so I don’t have to waste time and switch tools!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you Angie, I”m very appreciative of all the wonderful filming that you do for the Cricut Maker Product. You’ve saved me a lot of time...Thank you...
Thank you so much for this very informative video on scoring and how it may cause cracks in the fold. I work with 350 gsm chipboard paper (0.5mm thick) and I can't seem to understand why my folds are cracking constantly and it's because I've been using a single score wheel when I should have used the double scoring wheel.
I purchased (an original) Maker earlier this year with all the adaptive tools. My tests found (1) the current version of Design Space _does_ differentiate between the single and double scoring wheels and requires you to put in the correct wheel (or edit the tools), and (2) I got a lot more pressure with the scoring stylus than the scoring or double scoring wheels, even when I increased the amount of pressure in the settings for the material I was scoring. One trick I found for heavier materials with the scoring stylus (on my Explore Air) is to run several passes with the scoring stylus. (I haven't tried this yet with the scoring wheels on my Maker.) The way to do this is to duplicate the score line multiple times, line them all up, and attach them (both to each other and to the shape of the material you're trying to score).
Thank you so much, just got my Cricut and was so upset that I only bought the scoring stylus. You saved my project by explaining how to change the tool setting! Awesome.
Very thorough explanation, I really liked how you tried so many different materials - have you done a video on adding score lines to your project in Design Space?
Angie, Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Your hard work really helped me understand the difference between the scoring stylus and wheel. I believe it helped me make the right decision in getting the Cricut Maker and scoring wheel for most of my paper craft. Meanwhile, I have started to make cards and would love to try foiling. Is it possible to use the scoring wheel instead of the stylus to create foil embossing/debossing using pressure sensitive foil?
Exactly the info we were looking for - thank you so much for being such a blessing ! Please confirm - for scoring 100 lb card stock for flip-it cards - use the stylus pen OR the scoring wheel - 01. Correct ? 🧐
Scoring/folding also makes a difference based on the grain of the paper. Always fold with the grain of your paper. Printing/cutting 101 when I was in undergrad, it will make things a lot easier for you.
Love this video. Thank you for the thorough explanation. I've been looking for a video to explain it and haven't found one that explained it as clearly as yours. So thank you again.🤩🤩🤩
Cool vídeo. Thanks so much for being so detailed. I've recently bought a Cricut and i'm trying to learn which accessories I need and which not, so this videos are a great help.
Hi, Angie. My stylus fits without opening the clamp, but to remove it, i do open the clamp. A lot of people are stating the the stylus is tearing up their cardstock and wonder if they are pushing it too far. Is that incorrect? For the pens, I do open the clamp to insert and remove. Thanks in advance! Thank you for the video as always.
I'm just starting out, and am planning to make some simple wedding invitations. The only scoring I need is for folds in a regular card stock (not glitter or foil). Would the stylus be ok for now? I would eventually like to purchase a wheel later, but don't want to spend too much as I am just starting out and learning to use my machine.
Thank you for the informative video, it was very helpful, I wonder if you could tell me if the Maker could score aluminium and if so should I get the scoring wheel or the stylus? Thank you
Does the scoring wheel wear out? Which lasts longer and doesn't need replacing, the stylus or the wheel? If you use the wheel you need a second pass to cut? If you use the stylus you can cut and fold in one pass?
Neither one will wear out. If you use the stylus it will cut and fold without you having to do anything. With the wheel, the machine stops and asks you to change to the wheel.
@@AngieHolden One more question, does the engraving tip wear out? I am going to buy some tips for my still unused Cricut, and wanted to know so I can buy 2 tips right away because I found some half off. If it doesn't wear out quickly ill just buy one for now. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for the video. My scoring wheels are cutting the dashed lines instead of scoring them. I have been searching for a solution. Any idea why this is happening? I have the layer set to “score,” and it recognizes the wheel. Thanks!
Thank for this video, it has helped me a lot! Quick question, is the wheel only for the maker? I have the Explore Air, I have the stylus but its not working for me as well as i would like for it to. Thanks to your awesome video I now understand why. ;)
I have some cardstock with some foil on it and cardstock with textured on it which one should I get. I have never heard of the scoring stylist or the scoring wheel until just now watching this video and watching the video on how to make boxes I saw it use a scoring stylus.
I havnt bought a cricut yet but need to try and make some boxes for heavy candles, any ideas of what material I could use and if a cricut would be ok to use?
Yes you definitely can! The Maker will assume you have the wheel so that is what it will ask for once you click Make It. Just click the edit tools button and change the the stylus and you are good to go!
I have the scoring wheel, my question is how to add the scoring line on the other side if your make the card fold like a step or fan. Does the maker tell you to flip the paper if your score line is attach under? Thank you for your help
Since the update, I was making a card. All my cards it always ask for the scoring wheel. For the first time it ask for a stylus pen which I never owned. Why would it recommend the pen instead of the score wheel? I have the Maker.
Love the video. Thank you so much. I did what you said for the stylus, but when my maker goes to score the paper the stylus pops up and out. Would you be able to recommend any thing? Thank you. :)
That is odd. Hold the clamp with one hand and push the stylus in with the other and make sure it is seated well. Then close the clamp. See if that helps.
where do I find the option to edit tool? you should explain it. I'm new to cricut, I'm still learning and I can't find that option anywhere. Thanks for videos, I'm learning a lot. edit: I have the maker (in the case the info is relevant)
I need to do a video on that! When you go to cut in the area where it shows what tools to use, there is sometimes an edit tools button. It only appears when there is more than one option.
On the maker 3, I was using the scoring stylus and it suddenly pops all the way out and breaks the teeth in the bottom of the inside holder in clamp A. I reported the problem to Cricut support.
Any idea on why my scoring stylus keeps popping out and wont stat in the housing. Also got the scoring wheel and the cricket maker says “it is not recognized” despite reloading several times
Hi there i was wondering if you could help me...well both me and my mum, we are still getting to grips with the cricut explore 2, we got it for Christmas and we are a bit stuck on the scoring side of things. when we have downloaded and added designs that have score marks they are nearly all likes this - - - - - when we have put the scoring stylus into clamp A it does not do a straight line score but it scores like this - - - - - - - which is no good for cards we watched someone elses video and showed a design that had fold creases in it and changed that from cut to score and then the crease lines changed to - - - - - - but he said it will just to a straight line score which i did. So i am nit sure how we can get it to do the 1 score line and not - - - - it is really driving me nuts also when we did put the pen into clamp A till it clicked the pen end was touching the base right away so when we went to cut the card out the pen left line indents all over the card :/
First, make sure the dashed line is a score in Design Space as a line type and not a cut. Second, hold the pen holder when you put it in to make sure it doesn't fall down when you add the stylus. That is probably what happened.
Hi Angie, I came across your vlog and I was wondering if you might be able to help me with an issue that no one seems to actually talk about or even vlog about this topic is bothering me a great deal, the question is below, Please help if you can Is it actually possible to Cut and Score in this case - Card for the same Project, Cut away the Outside template so the remainder can then be Scored and when the Cricut Maker is finished all I would need to do then is Crease, Glue and Fold into the finished Project, or am I actually just clutching at Straws and Wasting my time with this idea, your help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
@@AngieHolden Hi Angie, Thank you for replying so fast, but how does the Cricut Maker know Where to Cut and Where to Score and in what order should this be done. So very Sorry for all the above questions, Angie

@@AngieHolden Hi Angie, You are a Genius a True God Send, Thank you so, so much your Help is Truly, truly appreciated far more than mere words could ever truly say, You are a True Professional. Thank you once again, Angie
Please excuse me for being completely new to this but I’m trying to make sticker sheets and every time I go to cut them it’s cutting straight through, I’ve tried looking into it and I can’t figure it out! Any help?
I bought a scoring wheel but couldn't find the scores and went back to my scoring stylus! At least it wasn't a complete waste of money as the housing can be used for othr tips. Another benefit of the scoring stylus is that I don't have to mess around changing blades.
Thank you so much for this informative video. I purchased the Maker last month and hungry for any pertinent information I can get! You were very thorough and easy to follow. 💗 Bev [10/02/2019)
hi, love your video, however can I use a scoring wheel instead of scoring stylus. I can't figure out how to get my machine to recognize the wheel and not stylus. I was thinking the cartridge image only supports stylus. It's an older cartridge.
First make sure you have score lines in whatever you are making. Second make sure the scoring wheel is chosen not a blade. Then make sure you have the right end indicated for your material (either single or double.).
I absolutely hate the Scoring Stylus. No matter what material I use, I cannot find the scoring line. I have tried in on very simple card stock - can't find the lines.
That probably would not work as you would not be able to get them exact. I would make the ones where you have to fold away from the score line hidden as much as possible on your project.
That thing came with my maker is NOT A scoring wheel they lied! It’s not it’s not now I have to spend more money on a housing and the wheel because what I’m trying to use which came with the maker isn’t really a scoring wheel 😡SOB!
What came with your Maker is a rotary blade that cuts fabric. They didn't lie at all as that is what is advertised. You can see more about what the rotary blade can do here: th-cam.com/video/mVQezBzGcb0/w-d-xo.html

Correct. The scoring stylus is the only one for the Air 2.

Great information, I appreciate you using multiple materials and going over your experience with them. You do a great job, thank you.

Really thin sheets yet. You can use the scoring wheel or the deboss tip. For thicker pieces, you can engrave aluminum with the engraving tip.

Are you sure you don't have the perf blade instead of the scoring wheel?
Can increasing the pressure make a better score?
The more pressure does not do anything for scoring.

The wheel only works on the Maker. For the Explore Air, you have to use the stylus.
I love your videos! Always informational!!!
So in the maker you have to swap the wheel with the blade to do both score and cut? it doesnt do it on go like it would with the explore stylus?
Great video! I tried to cut wood but my Maker kept cutting on the very top but never got low enough on the sheet to catch the wood. Any suggestions?

The wheel work better on materials that tend to crack when bent. Do a sample on your materials to test.
@@AngieHolden ok I'll make sure to get the wheel then
I havnt bought a cricut yet but need to try and make some boxes for heavy candles, any ideas of what material I could use and if a cricut would be ok to use?

Hi, Complete Newby here, can I use the Scoring Stylus in the Maker please as I really can't justify £45 on the wheel? Thank you. Great videos.
Yes you definitely can! The Maker will assume you have the wheel so that is what it will ask for once you click Make It. Just click the edit tools button and change the the stylus and you are good to go!

My scoring stylus tears the cardstock every time I use it, so I had to buy the scoring wheel. Any suggestion on why it tears everything?

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much for this informative video. I purchased the Maker last month and hungry for any pertinent information I can get! You were very thorough and easy to follow. 💗 Bev [10/02/2019)
Very helpful. TFS
hi, love your video, however can I use a scoring wheel instead of scoring stylus. I can't figure out how to get my machine to recognize the wheel and not stylus. I was thinking the cartridge image only supports stylus. It's an older cartridge.
Click edit tools and see if there are options there.
Informative! thanks!
What happens if it says it's not detected??? Because that's what's happening with mine.
First make sure you have score lines in whatever you are making. Second make sure the scoring wheel is chosen not a blade. Then make sure you have the right end indicated for your material (either single or double.).
Brilliant!
I absolutely hate the Scoring Stylus. No matter what material I use, I cannot find the scoring line. I have tried in on very simple card stock - can't find the lines.
Be sure to hold the pen holder with one hand and push it in with the other to make sure it is seated well. Maybe it is not down enough?
why do you make about the Cricut Maker Knife Blade ...... change a deep one is my problem ...as I more use 2 mm MDF wood ....
I have a video about the knife blade here that might help: th-cam.com/video/QMEvMXPCNrI/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugy67F38pcv6YRC7Q0N4AaABAg
So if you’re folding in two directions like your paper shows, you have to score twice? One face down for one line and o]one face up for the other?
That probably would not work as you would not be able to get them exact. I would make the ones where you have to fold away from the score line hidden as much as possible on your project.
Thank you for the video.
My blade keeps coming off
I would say something is wrong with it and to contact Cricut.
That thing came with my maker is NOT A scoring wheel they lied! It’s not it’s not now I have to spend more money on a housing and the wheel because what I’m trying to use which came with the maker isn’t really a scoring wheel 😡SOB!
What came with your Maker is a rotary blade that cuts fabric. They didn't lie at all as that is what is advertised. You can see more about what the rotary blade can do here: th-cam.com/video/mVQezBzGcb0/w-d-xo.html
Video is too long for what it is, and then there’s the ads...
The ads are not because of Angie.
Thank you so much, this was so helpful!
Thanks!
So in the maker you have to swap the wheel with the blade to do both score and cut? it doesnt do it on go like it would with the explore stylus?
That is correct Rebbeca!
