Thanks for the video!! Very helpful 😊

Useful video...a couple of tips to add: if your card is already cut to size, move it slightly away from the top of the scoring board so that your score with the tool STARTS from the edge of your card...(if you simply line the card up directly to the edge of the board the scoring tool will not reach into the top of the card.
Also...i would suggest 'creasing' the BACK/BLANK side not the front to avoid damaging the colours/card on the front.

[@patmalone4262]

Thank you! It is attention to this kind of detail that makes the difference between something that looks professional or amateurish.

recently started card making and didnt know how to stop color 200gsm card from cracking. it never cracked with white card, (same gsm). searched YT for over an hour and your video helped.

Thank you very much for sharing your fabulous tutorial, I have learnt something after watching you, no wonder I was getting cracked folds. Thank you again, happy new year to you and you family.

Thank you!!! This was very helpful!!😊

I was at my "wit's-end", was it my technique, or did I buy a low-quality paper? Scoring paper seems like such a no-brainer, so I focused on finding a method to reinforce the paper fold. Multiple experiments later I had to admit, I'm obviously barking up the wrong tree. . . This morning I searched TH-cam for "scoring paper" BINGO!! I found your post. Talk about a "daw moment".
Thank you!

[@AliceLadkin]

totally feel you, I wasted SO much card in the beginning 😅 so happy it helped!

[@mathewbellamy]

Can you it agin with a card that isn't prefolded?

[@AliceLadkin]

it's not a prefolded card 🙃 printed on flat 300gsm card and I go through the process from the printed stage to being perfectly folded. It's just really effective haha

[@ServiceCollie-pd8uk]

Helpful thank u! ♥

[@g.j.m.7758]

Is it OK if I don’t do it with a square piece of paper

[@AliceLadkin]

Hi Alice, What kind of cardstock do you use for your greeting cards and what paper weight?

[@AliceLadkin]

I use 300gsm double sided matte paper 😊 here’s a link to the exact card I personally use on eBay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174470418239
