Replacement bone folder for M.Stewart's scoreboard?

[MUKat]

I've lost my scoring tool that came with Martha's large score board. None of the other bone folders I currently have are tapered enough to fit in the slots on Martha's board. I can't seem to locate a replacement tool. Any suggestions for what I can use on the board to make score lines?

Maybe this would work, since it's Martha Stewart.

What about using a stylus? I never use the bone folder that came with the scoring board as it seems so flimsy. I use my stylus all the time and it works great.

I never liked the tool that came with the Martha Stewart board - it was uncomfortable in my hand and seemed to tear my paper. I have used both the bone folder that Bugga linked and a stylus like Skinnylatte mentioned and they both work - I prefer the stylus.

If you really really want the original tool that came with the board, pm me. I'm pretty sure I can find one of mine, and like I said, I don't use them (I have two of the boards; one I keep at work)

what about a Popsicle stick...its what I use when my bone folder goes walkabout...nice rounded edge at the end.

I use a regular MS bone folder. Works great.

Thanks to everyone that has posted. I will try to find a stylus that will fit into the grooves. I think the Martha bone folder sold at JoAnne's has a tip that is too wide for the grooves.

Email Martha Stewart. You've nothing to lose. Surely this must happen frequently.

I believe that the score boards are made by EK Success. I contacted them a year or so ago as my scoring tool was becoming rounder. They sent a replacement and said they had changed the material. I'd send them a note to ask where you can get another one. I do like the new one better.

The Scor-Pal one works with the Martha Stewart board. It doesn't wear down like the MS one does after a few uses. I also use the cheap Oriental Trading Company pink bone folders. In addition, a ball tipped stylus works great, but try to find one with a thick rod as the thinner ones will bend if you have a heavy hand like mine when scoring.

I use a Stampin Up stylus

I prefer a stylus with my MS score board. I can use the bigger end for dsp and the smaller end for cardstock.

IF anybody contacts and hears back from MS customer service, please let me know. I also lost my score board tool and I liked it. When I sent an email to MS customer service inquiring about how/where to buy a new one, they ignored my email (it wasn't returned to me so I'm quite certain "somebody" there received it.) THANKS!

I much prefer using an embossing stylus to the tool provided with the MS scoreboard. Unfortunately, I've recently misplaced my stylus!

OMGosh, Christine, that is so funny! Good to know I'm not the only one who positively KNOWS something's there ... but where, who knows? Heehee. Hope it shows up soon. If not, they're not very expensive and it would probably be a-okay to have two, right? xx

I have always used a ball tool. Think it's a 3mm one but not certain as my craft room is all packed away at the moment as the inlaws are staying.

I didn't lose mine but it became dull after many uses so I use (I don't know the technical name for it) one of those tools used for dry embossing - the ones that have a rounded metal ball at each end. Works well when you get the right size and never wears down.

I sand the end on mine to make it small enough to fit. Even the one that came with my ScotrPal wsa sanded (filed) down. Nail file or sanding block both work.

Gosh, I just keep a sock knitting needle in my box on the table. Works fine. Just don't press too hard. Elise in San Diego

A dried up ballpoint pen works fine, also. Elise

I use a stylus so I still have my MS if anyone is still looking for one...I have two stylus's, and they each have a different size ball on the end. I use the two smaller sizes. I just prefer it and never use the thing that came with the MS scoreboard.

Thanks again, everyone for your suggestions. I'm embarrassed to say, I found the "lost" bone folder! It had fallen out in the car. I thought for sure it was a goner as I tore my craft room apart looking for it and didn't find it there. At least my desk and surrounding area got a really good cleaning up. Several days later, I thought about looking in the car. There it was under the back seat! Anyways, I really do appreciate all your good tips because chances are I'll misplace that pesky bone folder again!

Sent mine out this morning....Enjoy

I know this is coming late, but I use my Cricut bone folder. It is green and has a silver tip and it works great with the MS board! I don't know if you can buy it alone or just in a set with the Cricut tools that come in the green zippered tool pouch. HTH!
