What's a scoring board? What is a scoring board I hear you asking, well it isn't to keep a check on how many cards you make....but an essential piece of equipment to produce professional cards. 
I use a scoring board on a daily basis and I couldn't imagine working without it.There are many different types on the market to suit all budgets, the choice is yours. If you prefer to fold your own, rather than buy base card, then you will need one. They have grooves at marked intervals, for several commonly used card sizes, such as 5", 6", DL and A5. And using a "bone folder" in the grooves produces a really good deep score line, ready for you to fold. The one I use everyday is from
Crafters Companion. Look for the "Ultimate Pro" and it will give you all the info you need on this fabulous board.
It was not expensive, but it measures card, paper for envelopes and I can make boxes. Even pop out cards can be made, and there is a cutting ruler and blade. All sizes and depth of card are catered for and it has the facility to dry emboss small shapes and make bows. And everything is stored safely within the board itself. It has a really good instruction booklet with it, to explain fully all it can help you achieve. And it is excellent value for money. You can buy the boards in most craft shops or at online suppliers. Ask in the craft shop for a demonstration of the board you choose before you make your decision. It does give a professional finish to your cards and if you make them to sell then it is worth the cost. It can save you hours of work as well. Why not batch fold all your cards one evening. Do them all at one go while you watch TV or listen to music,and then you will always have some ready to use.
