Scor-Pal SP108 Eighths Measuring and Scoring Board, 12" by 12", 1/8" Space Grooves

One of the best craft related card making tool! I use it every time I make a card. Makes clean folds and it so easy to use.

Recently I've been making my own greeting cards, which I color laser print on the color "copier/printer" at work on Extra Heavy cardstock. Specifically, 12 pt, 247 gsm (g/m2), glossy coated 1-side. I make my cards "full bleed", which is to say I print them on larger cardstock or note cards and then cut them down so that the image goes to the edge of the card... NO BORDER.I was buying lighter weight, pre-folded (scored w crease) cards (5" x 7" that I cut down to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2") but realized I could use flat 8 1/2" x 11" stock instead. That way I could get heavier stock, at a lower price, that printed better because it didn't have the folding crease. In addition, I didn't have the hassle of trying to line up the photo on the front to exactly match the crease. Also, I didn't have to deal with cards that didn't fold exactly evenly. Instead, I started printing on standard sized 8 1/2" x 11" stock and scoring the cardstock myself, using a letter opener. That worked OK, but only scored/creased one side of the cardstock, so still had some slight tearing of the paper fibers. Then I found this device!. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!This device, in the 12" x 12" size, handles my full sheet of paper, regardless of whether my card folds vertically (portrait) or horizontally (landscape). It is dead accurate and because of the grooves in the base, my cards now fold perfectly without any tearing of the paper fibers (see photos). One I score and then fold the card, I cut it down to its final size using a paper cutter or razor knife and metal ruler.I read a review about the included bone folding tool not working well, so I ordered a highly rated bone tool at the same time. Well, I've tried both and the included tool works great.This scoring device is so PERFECT that I may buy another one in order to keep one at work (where I do the printing) and one at home.

I am glad I got this. It’s really helps with my card making. It’s well made, the size works with all the different size cardstock I work with.

I love this scoring board. I made over 100 greeting cards with a paper crafting machine, but this scorer was super easy to use.

The board works well, but I don't like the stylus - it was constantly jumping out of the groove when I use it with cardstock. It might work fine on soft paper, but I rarely score soft paper, so haven't tried that. For cardstock, I use a stylus with a pointed plastic tip from another product (I think it was for applying rub-ons) instead of the one that came with the board, and it works much better - stays in the grooves but doesn't punch through.

Works well on my 110# cardstock. Easy to read the measurements and scores nicely.

My Scor-Pal came on time, and wrapped nicely to protect it from damage.I absolutely love this scoring board. It is true to size, and will fit a 12" x 12" piece of paper. The scoring grooves are deep enough that you can score heavier card stock with ease, but not so deep that thinner paper gets ripped through. The scoring tool latches in securely, so you don't have to worry about it falling out when It's in storage. I also appreciate that I can use my own scoring tool on this board; it's not a system that forces you to use their tools.There are rulers on three sides, which is great for left-handed people. I found myself laying paper in it just to check sizes quickly and easily.I do wish there was a way to easily mark commonly used scoring positions, but the measurement are so clearly marked that it was easy to find the groove I needed at just a quick glance.Overall, a very high quality product, and definitely the best value in scoring boards I've ever seen.

I got the scor pal to create calendars, greeting cards, brochures and books.It is very easy to use and scores paper really well. The only downside is that the score tool seems to wear out it overtime (I scored about 1,000 cards using the score tool it came with). However, it's easily replaceable. Highly recommend this for artists and crafters that are in need of way to fold paper precisely and efficiently.
