Today's tip is a pretty basic one, but it's a tip that will help your cards looks a little more crisp and finished. Remember a while ago when I shared my favorite tools to get started? Two of the items on that list were the Stampin' Trimmer and the Bone Folder. You can use one or both for this tip. Use these tools to get a clean, crisp fold in your card.
Start by scoring your card base at 4 1/4" - the halfway point of a card that measures (unfolded) 8 1/2" by 5 1/2".
You can either score using the scoring blade on the Trimmer or, if you have a different trimmer, line the card stock up the same and gently run your bone folder through the track in the trimmer. Then fold the card stock along the score line and fold a crisp line using the bone folder. Give it a try today and let me know what you think! The difference might be subtle, but your cards will have a consistent, professional look.
