Wednesday’s WOW! #103. I get asked this question so many times so I thought maybe it’s a question you have. Which way do you fold your cards?? Inwards or Outwards after scoring??? I thought I would talk about this today for our Wednesday’s WOW!
I have my opinions but I did a little search on the internet to see what others might say. I have to say there were different opinions.
So which way do you fold your cards? Do you fold them inwards. By that I mean when you have scored the card and it is flat on the table. You have an indentation on the card where you have scored it. Do you take both sides and fold the sides in towards each other. Or do you fold the sides away from each other and fold it outwards?
Personally I fold the card outwards, so the scored indentation is on the outside.
Firstly, before I tell you why I fold it that way. Most crafters that I looked at online folded it this way. Perhaps I missed some if you find it the other way.
I fold it this way as when you score the card you are breaking the tissue of the card. This will enable some “give” to the card to be able to fold it. On another note, scoring the card will give you a crisper fold.
If you fold it inwards you then end up with the underside of the card as your front. I don’t know about you but I find that the cut edge has a little raised edge and I don’t like the look of that.
Maybe you have other reasons why you fold your card the way you do. I would love to hear it. Drop me a comment.
Now since we are on the topic of scoring your card. The other question I get asked a lot is What do you cut your card with?? I use the Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer. It has a cutting blade and a scoring blade making the job of preparing your card very quick and easy. Everything is contained in one and you don’t have to muck around with different tools.
You can see the Paper Trimmer -> HERE.
Hope that helps you.
Have a great day,
