S682. Scor-it Scoring Board. 12" Scoring Rule
Scor-it Scoring Board. 12" Scoring Rule - out of stock until
Now pink for breast cancer support! A donation is made to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for each board sold.
NEW lower price & now has reversible centering ruler with both inches and metric!
A fabulous tool that helps you make quick, accurate, professional folds without pre-measuring and marking. The resulting scores/folds (with and against the grain) are superior to what you can do with a bone folder. Saves time too, especially when you are making multiples of the same item. Use it for cards & invitations, envelopes, boxes & bags, stamping & collage art, accordion cards and books, and much more. Great for embossing lines and patterns. Works with paper, card, vellum sheets (paper), and cover stock as well as thin metal sheets. Mini Scorit S683.
The Scor-it tool is absolutely fantastic! I use it on all my projects requiring scores. The centering ruler makes it easy to place valley or mountain scores precisely, and the adjustable stop guide saves valuable time doing production work. The resulting ‘hinge-scores’ are far superior to my previous scores made with a bone folder or paper clip. Scor-it is the coolest tool I’ve ever seen for papercrafters and bookbinders. I highly recommend Scor-it to ANYONE who works with paper. - Michael Jacobs, Designer/Author
