I wonder if you cardmakers could give me some advice?
I'm new to cardmaking and would like to buy a crease board and possibly envelope templates.
Have done a lot of searching and investigating on the web but am now totally confused as there is so much to choose from.:wacko::lol:
Have you any preferences and recommendations please?
Hi boo, I have a crafters companion purely because it is all on one board. I did look at envelope templates/scor pal but that would have taken up much more space. When I first had it my ruler was broken so the company replaced it free of charge, great service. I use mine all the time and I did buy a carry case for it but it doesnt stay in there long enough :lol: You can search the website and find the creator doing a video tutorial of the whole board.
hth
Thanks Natasha. :D
I located the tutorial, which I found fascinating and she made it look so easy. Here is a link in case anyone else is interested.

The only thing I didn't like about the companion was the sound of it! So clanky on that desk. But I can see your point about having everything in one box.
Boo, it is very clattery, and dare I say it but its worse in real life. I wouldnt use it as a work surface, its not steady enough for that (for me anyways). However its perfect for scoring cards then folding away. I got it while it was on offer at a sponsors site so I had quite a good deal. If however it wasnt as cheap as I had it I would have gone with the regular wooden boards you can buy :wub:
You might find you're better with just the top score board (one half of it), and maybe the enveloper separately
I really rate the Score pal, you can put a piece of 12 x 12 on it and away you go. I think its hard to find in the UK though. Im sure there are other UK equivalents to this which others will recommend.
I am hoping to find one that will use 12x12 paper for making envelopes so I can use up some of my supplies.
So the Score Pal is different to the Scor It? Not heard of the Score Pal before.
Ive just had a look via google and they are different!
Have a look at Score Pal via a search engine and then see what you think
Ah yes, have discovered the Scor-Pal website. Cool product, I like very much. Looks like I would be able to make everything with it and it takes 12x12.
Where's the best place to try and buy one Karen?
I have both of these and use them lots. :)Quote:
