You are such a GREAT teacher! I have been doing card crafts for decades (I won't say how many) and what I wouldn't have paid to go through a class like this back then!!! I'd be making absolute masterpieces by now! Oh my goodness. All to say, thank you Lady. You're the best. :) Very thorough and you are organized in your thoughts when you present. So much value there.

So don't stop your videos because they are fantastic! May God Bless you and your family!

Yes. I use the one that came with my small score board. It is almost like it does it when I fold it, and use the bone folder to flatten it.
@MaymayMadeIt10 жыл бұрын
Mommysweets I would suggest that when you score the paper, use a nice firm impression and run the bone folder multiple times down the line. This will ensure that the score goes through all the "grain" of the paper, then, when you fold, try folding with the "bump" or "mountain" of the score out. Does that make sense?
