This week I’m spotlighting the Bone Folder (#102300). This is a must-have tool in your paper crafting toolbox! It helps you to easily score and make crisp folds on paper and card stock. Ninety-nine percent of the time I use my bone folder when I’m creating in my craft room. Once in a while I’m in a hurry and I just fold my paper in half and use my fingers to make the fold. Big mistake! As soon as I do that, I remind myself to slow down because the fold I just created isn’t crisp and the paper seems to be a bit “wrinkled.” I’m never happy with the results when I forget to use my bone folder.
The pointed end of the bone folder can also be used in the track of a paper cutter to easily score your paper. Although the Simply Scored comes with a scoring tool, your bone folder could also be used.
If there’s a tool in the Stampin’ Up! catalog that you have questions about and would like me to spotlight in the upcoming weeks, leave a message below or email me. Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s the first day of April! We had plenty of rain here yesterday so hopefully those May flowers are on the way!
I’ve seen so many cute cards using our new White Tea Lace Paper Doilies (129399) so I decided to purchase some and this is the card I made. The base of my card is Raspberry Ripple which took me quite a while to warm up to and I am not sure why. It is so pretty. My flowers are from the set Oh, Hello (in the Spring Catalog). I colored my flowers using my Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green markers. If you look closely, you’ll see that they aren’t the same shade. After stamping the first flower I ONLY re-inked the stem, huffed on it and stamped it again. I punched them out with my 2 1/2 Circle punch, sponged around the edges with Gumball Green and used dimensionals to adhere it to the doily.
Thank you for stopping by today. If you would like to purchase any of the products I’ve used to make my card, you can visit my Stampin’ Up! website HERE.

I showed this card in my embossing folders video (you can see it here) but I realized that I never showed the card in a post. The center of my flower was made using a flattened Soda Pop Top (#129388 $3.95 for 8 of each size) in the Spring Catalog! I simply placed one in my Big Shot and it quickly and beautifully flattened it! It gives my card such a pretty sparkle. I really wasn’t drawn to these when I first saw them but I just love them now! Isn’t that the way it always is?
My paper, Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Pack, is also from the Spring Catalog. My flower and the strip of paper under the DSP is Raspberry Ripple, one of our In Colors.
