With the help of a scoring tool, you can easily and quickly create beautiful folds in paper and other materials. Cricut is a versatile crafting machine that is popularly used for various craft projects.
It offers various tools and accessories like a scoring tool that can be used to score, fold, or crease paper and other materials. Scoring with Cricut is easy and it helps create professional-looking projects.
To use the scoring tool with your Cricut machine, you will first need to attach it to the machine. There are two different types of scoring tools available for Cricut machines – the Basic Scoring Stylus and the Deluxe Scoring Stylus. The Basic version has a single tip while the Deluxe version has two tips – one for scoring and one for embossing.
Once you have chosen the right scoring tool for your machine, you need to insert it into your Cricut machine. To do this, first turn off your machine and unplug it from its power source.
Then locate the stylus holder on the side of your machine, which looks like a black box with two slots. Carefully insert your stylus into one of these slots until it firmly clicks into place.
Now plug in your machine and turn it on again. You will now be able to select the setting for the scoring tool on your Cricut’s Control Panel – either manually or through the software program (Design Space). You will be able to select from several different settings depending on what type of material you are using.
When ready, place your material underneath your cutting mat and adjust it so that it is centered in place. Then select ‘SCORE’ on your control panel or Design Space software program – this will activate the scoring tool. Finally, move your material back so that only half of it is underneath the cutting mat – this will ensure that only half of your material is scored.
Conclusion: Inserting a scoring tool into a Cricut machine is simple and easy process. All you need to do is attach the right type of stylus onto your machine’s stylus holder, plug in its power source, select ‘SCORE’ on either the Control Panel or Design space software program, then adjust the material so that only half of it is beneath the cutting mat before finally activating the scoring tool. With just these few simple steps you can easily add beautiful folds to any project made with Cricut!
