Jan's Stamping Creations

New Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate

At ever club meeting I try to show something new and/or different that we haven't done before. This month I did a quick demonstration on how to use the brand new Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate.  If you don't have the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, you will find it invaluable for scoring and making such fun projects.   And the addition of the Borders Scoring Plate adds real dimension to your creations!!  Here is the card I showcased - can you see the two "zig zags" on the right of the card.  Just a little additiona really made a difference
