Thank you letter on card stock (to fold or not)?

**Virgo Nightingale** · 01-30-2013, 05:05 PM

If I intended it to be read as a letter, I wouldn't have printed it on a card stock, precisely for the issue you're having now. A nice heavier text-weight paper should have been fine. Otherwise I would have made it more of a 'thank you' card which could be folded, with a hand-written note on the inside.

Thanks for your response.

Maybe it's not cardstock? I'm not sure what to call it. It's american crafts thegoods scrapbook paper - I just googled to find out. It's thin, but very stiff, even thinner than the american greetings designer's collection notecards.

Most scrapbooking paper is a heavy text-weight paper (or a very light card stock, depending on the type and on how you look at it). Should be foldable, but you may want to score it first.

OK, super. Don't have a bone folder or scoring board. Is there another way I can score it? Thanks again.

I use a metal-edge ruler and a pizza cutter.

Butter knife and ruler?

Even better.

I work at a print shop. Short run stuff that needs scored I do on the cutter

The pizza cutter can be tricky as it may want to roll away from the ruler. You have to always roll into the ruler.

I use the round edge of a paperclip and a ruler. I work in a printing company so we have fancy proper equipment, I just prefer a paperclip.\

p.s. if it's full coverage on a coated laser print, the toner may crack.

Surprisingly enough, I don't own a pizza cutter.

I do have a plastic US Jesco glamourizer (see pic), can that work with a ruler?

Reprint it on cream linen. Far classier.

Metal-edged ruler and a very light touch with an Xacto.

**Buda** · 01-30-2013, 07:38 PM

I don't trust a knife or my "light touch". I prefer pressing harder with a blunt tip.

As long as the edge is smooth and thin, but not sharp.
