When we do scrapbooking there are many projects which will require you to fold or cut the paper or even both. There is no doubt that paper can take on fascinating shapes if you fold and cut it creatively, but for someone who is new to scrapbooking these are essential skills that are worth taking the time to perfect. Badly cut or untidily folded items can make your project look sloppy and untidy, rather than the professional offerings you intended them to be.

Scoring and Folding:

Scoring before folding your card makes the fold look more professional. For scoring, you can use a stylus, the back of a craft knife or a specially designed paper folder. A cheap scrapbooking idea and solution that can work just as well is an empty ball point pen. Using a ruler you slide the scorer along the paper where you want to fold it, and voila a perfect line to fold on. Most people prefer to score on the inside fold. Make sure that your first fold is accurate and neat, or every subsequent fold will be wrong and your finished project will look uneven. If the card is very thick or has a coating over the top, then first score the fold lightly with your craft knife just breaking the surface. Make sure that you practice this on a scrap of the same card first.

I use scoring and folding in most of my layouts, as I am a great lover of putting loads of photo's on one layout. In this way I can make professional looking mini booklets to adorn my pages. By scoring and folding each page 2cm from the left edge allows for easy page flipping without your cardstock getting horrible creases.

Folding Curves:

This scrapbooking idea and solution requires that you lightly score the curve by either doing it freehand or making a template of the shape to guide you. Make the fold by pinching along the scored line a few times with your fingers.

Cutting:

Cut cleanly and accurately, and jagged and snagged edges will look messy. The two basic tools that you will need to have in your scrapbooking kit are good quality scissors and a craft knife. Choose a craft knife that has renewable or interchangeable blades. Use long, pointed blades for tricky shapes and a triangular blade for cutting more sturdy materials. If the blade starts to snag the paper, it is time to get it changed.

By folding and cutting your own card blanks, you can create a greeting card or mini booklet for your layout in any desired size or shape. This way you will have more to spend on fancy decorations for your cards and layouts for truly unique works.

Shark Hunting Sheath

An amateur metal detector, Dave Crisp, uncovered 52,500 Roman coins in Somerset England. The coins date back to 293 AD, during the reign of self appointed British Emperor Carausius. In April of 2010, Dave Crisp was allowed to use his metal detector to search for metal on a neighbors land. His metal detector began making really odd noises, so Dave began to dig in that area. As he dug down about a foot, he started to find small coins about the size of a dime. "I put my hand in, pulled out a bit of clay and there was a little Radial, a little bronze Roman coin. Very, very small, about the size of my fingernail," said Dave Crisp. "I've been detecting for twenty two years and I've never...

Fighting Knife Dagger

American caught on bin Laden hunt ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- An ailing, middle-age construction worker from Colorado, on a self-proclaimed mission to help U.S. troops, armed himself with a dagger, a pistol, a sword, Christian texts, hashish and night-vision goggles and headed to the lawless tribal areas near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border to personally hunt down Osama bin Laden. As anyone looking for a solid, reliable knife knows, the Buck Knife carries a special weight with it. Most of us, however, do not know the history and why this knife is a household name. A look at how the knife came to be reveals its roots in an earlier era of American history. The story begins nearly 100 years...

Since the launch of the Kodak PlaySport early this year, a little shadow was be cast on the very popular Flip HD camcorder. It has been a long time since the Flip had such a serious competitor. If you have ever had the chance to use Kodak's PlaySport model, it is easy to see why. For starters, it seems to be everything the Flip is and much...

Knife Wooden Scabbard

Use A Wooden Dough Bowl To Enhance Mountain Home DecoratingThe wooden dough bowl has always had a part in the lives of the Tarahumara Indian people. In the Sierra Madre mountain region of Northern Mexico, the Tarahumara people have primitive lifestyles and live in rustic dwellings. They earn a living by making handcrafts to sell like the wooden dough bowl. I have always been impressed with the colorful baskets, weavings, jewelry and other hand-made items produced by this Tribe. It is fascinating that although the women are the primary crafters in the family, the Tarahumara men are very talented working with wood and produce incredible works of art using simple and unsophisticated tools....
