This scoring stylus pen tool creates clean, crisp fold lines on a variety of materials, making card making, invitations, and paper crafts easier and more enjoyable than ever.
How to use:
Step 1: Prepare your project in Cricut Design Space
Create your project and add any score lines where you need them.
Make sure the line type for your score lines is set to "Score".
Select "Attach" to make sure the score lines stay in the correct place on your project.
Step 2: Load the tools
Place the scoring stylus into Clamp A until it clicks.
Make sure the fine-point blade is in Clamp B.
Step 3: Make the project
Change the tool setting for the score line to "Scoring Stylus" if it's not already selected.
Press the "Go" button on your Cricut machine to start.
The machine will automatically perform the scoring and cutting steps without you needing to swap tools or mats.
Pros:
Compatibility: Works with all Cricut Explore models and all Cricut Maker models.
Convenience: Because it uses a separate clamp from the cutting blade, you can score and cut in a single step without manually swapping tools.
Affordability: It is less expensive than the Scoring Wheel and Housing.
Cons:
Scoring Depth: Provides a lighter score line than the Scoring Wheel. It is best suited for light and medium-weight materials, such as cardstock.
Effectiveness on Thick Materials: It can struggle with or even damage thicker, coated materials like heavy poster board or glitter cardstock.
