The Scor-it tool is absolutely fantastic! I use it on all my projects requiring scores. I highly recom-mend Scor-it to ANYONE who works with paper. – Michael Jacobs

S682. Scor-it Scoring Board. 12" Scoring Rule. $39.95S683. Mini Scor-it Scor-ing Board. 6" Scoring Rule. $29.95 A fabulous tool that helps you make quick,

accurate, professional folds without pre-measuring and marking. The resulting scores/folds (with and against the grain) are superior to what you can do with a bone folder. Saves time too, especially when you are making multiples of the same item. Use it for cards & invitations, envelopes, boxes & bags, stamping & collage art, accordion cards and books, and much more. Great for embossing lines and pat-terns. Works with paper, card, vellum sheets (paper), and cover stock as well as thin metal sheets.

S377. Sull Leather Pen Roll-upMichael Sull wanted a way to carry his oblique pen holders with the nib inserted. To that end, he designed this leather pen rollup. The four

pockets are extra wide (2-1/4") and deep enough to accommodate an oblique pen and protect the nib. The 8-1/2" deep pockets allow the holder to be completely enclosed. The top flap gives even more protection to the nib. Leather tie. Now available in four colors! Traditional Black, Olive Green, Purple, and Red. $34.95
