Done a lot of scoring at the print shop. Found best item for me is the crochet needle. Item to use in a pinch in a office is the loop of black binder clips. Mistake that often happens for beginners is not to use enough pressure. Also score the side opposite of the fold direction. Paper has grain direction. Test the stock going with and against the grain to see which has better results.

I wanted to send my sister a birthday card, and I need to fold it. I was afraid that I would ruin it 😅 But now, after watching this video, I'm gaining confidence. Thanks a lot!

Helpful. Love the two-sized ballpoint ended tool. One tip: Have the camera placed higher so that we can better see the (entire) tool in your hand from above. :)

[@shooraynerdrawing]

[@Dixit.Bhojak]

bcz of this video i at least have some ideas how to crease thank you

[@craftmel]

I just match both corners and then fold. afterwards, I use a scissor or end of a ruler to run through the fold. it comes out neatly.

Shoo Rayner I had custom party favor boxes that I designed for my daughter birthday party printed on heavy cars stock. Because of the size I had to send them to printer. I'm trying to figure out the best way to scor and fold the boxes. This was great! I have one of those ball tools already! Thank you and I didn't have to buy anything special!

Hey Shoo, last year, or the year before you did an interactive advent calendar but You couldn't click on the numbers on a tablet.

Do you have any tips for folding laminated card like for mortuary cards

[@shooraynerdrawing]

Hi, I'm afraid I'm not sure what that is. I think anything that is laminated is going to be difficult as you are stretching the outside and squeezing the inside and it is quite a tough material.

[@shooraynerdrawing]

tomorrow's video might be of interest!

[@thebackyardfarmer9424]

Am watching this in 2024

[@brandontoo206]

[@hajeeshabanuhassankp8060]

Will this create cracks while folding card stocks

[@shooraynerdrawing]

That depends on the card. test first but it will certainly help to reduce cracking

[@jonathanwarner2420]
