In the Spotlight: Haroldine Wingfield & Deanna Pannell and their Burnished Velvet Technique
In the Making Enterprises is a company offering a limited array of craft products including rubber stamps, metal tips and its Glitter Ritz line of products developed in 2004. The premium quality Ultra Fine and Micro Fine glitter consist of more than 150 Opaque and Transparent colors, many of which are custom mixed to give the line a large diverse range of coordinating colors.

Originally, the glitter was developed for glass etched & embellished ornaments and Christmas decor. However, things took a dramatic turn when Deanna met Haroldine Wingfield of Be Creative.

Haroldine has both a retail store for over 18 years, as well as being the importer and distributor of Be Creative Tape. Over the past decade she has created many innovative ways to use this wonderful tape.

Upon meeting, Haroldine introduced Deanna to Be Creative Tape and Deanna introduced her to Glitter Ritz Glitter. Their backgrounds were extremely different. Haroldine has been an avid Stamper and Paper Crafter for 30 years. Deanna's background was in Interior and Graphic design. Ten years ago, Deanna became deeply involved in the craft industry. When the two combined their products and skills, they created a fabulous trademarked technique called Burnished Velvet. Their companies have been working closely together ever since, creating dazzling and inspiring techniques to share with crafters.

Press the punched shapes to the tape firmly using a piece of backing to protect the exposed tape. Apply Black Microfine Glitter to the tape. Brush off excess glitter. Burnish with your fingertip by rubbing the glittered area firmly.

You Asked, We Answer
What do you recommend to make scoring smoother? I've noticed that my scoring tool tends to drag on certain paper.
Absolutely! We recommend using Perga Soft Wax. Just run the groove end of the tool through the wax, and you'll notice a big difference in how smooth the tool glides over the paper. Perga Soft also will not leave any marks on your paper. Just make sure to not allow globs of wax to build up in the groove. You don't need to apply the wax after every score - just use as needed. Check out Perga Soft Wax in the Scor-it-All Store.

Could you please tell me if the wood scoring tool and the steel scoring tool both create the exact same "hinge score". From what I have read, the wooden tool has a notch on the end which is what gives you the "hinge score". Does the steel scoring tool also have a notch at the end. The store I am looking at purchasing the scor-it from has the steel scoring tool and I am worried that it won't be as good as the wooden scoring tool.
Both tools create exactly the same "hinge" score. The reason we went with the new stainless steel and chrome tool, is that the manufacturer was having difficulty with consistency in the groove of the wooden tool which caused splitting and bad scores. The new tool offers you more accuracy and longevity. I also suggest that you purchase a tin of Perga Soft Wax. The new steel tools will be available individually sometime in May.

Why did you make the new boards pink?
We went with Pink because we have many survivors of breast cancer and made a nice donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

I've heard about the Scor-it Sliding Ruler but before I buy it, I'd like to know why I need one! What can you tell me about this new Scor-it Board accessory?
The Sliding Ruler was developed by Tim Hammonds with input from local Pauline Hasund. He's the same person who designed the Scor-it Board, because he wanted to open up even more options for using the board. It's designed to stabilize your paper so it won't twist or turn while you're scoring (it's like having a third hand). It's useful for creating consistent starting and stopping points when you're making many cards with the same design. It's ideal for making embossed rectangles and boxes or star bursts where all of the corners meet. Plus, you can use it to create parallel embossed or de-bossed diagonals and diamonds and all sorts of other special effects and geometric shapes.

We think that you'll love how easily the Sliding Ruler glides. We know it's a good value, a versatile well-made tool that you'll be happy to have in hand.

I have the original Cathie Allan's Position-it where the pegs go all the way through the base and noticed that the new ones do not. Do you have any ideas how I can stop the pegs from sliding all the way through?
Simply put a piece of clear packing tape on the back side of your base where the holes are and this should take care of the problem. See brochure here.

Can I use the Sliding Ruler on my Scor-it-All Mini? Will my friends who have the Metric Scor-it-All Board be able to use the Sliding Ruler?
The Sliding Ruler is sized for the large (12") Scor-it-All Board and it has both inch and metric markings. Simply flip it around to use whichever measure you need.

Why would I need a Scor-it-All A-2 Envelope-it Template when I can open an envelope and trace around it?|
Good question! The answer is simple: Because the Envelope-it is durable metal and you can cut against it with a craft knife. It's reasonably priced and will last for many years - metal doesn't wear out - and won't bend or break when it's stored, plus you can clean the template it if it gets dirty. The Envelope-it is easy, fast and accurate. If you do like to trace around a template and cut with scissors, you can do that, too. Instructions are printed right on the template, it shows you where to score on the Scor-it Board, fold and apply glue. Also, go to: www,scoritall.com / Help to view a tutorial on how to use the Envelope-it.

If you're a teacher, you're going to want several Envelope-it templates on hand.

Why is there a circle cut out in the middle of the Envelope-it Template?
So you can position the template on your patterned paper. For example, if you're making an envelope out of a recycled calendar and you want the picture of the flower or puppy front and center, you can see where they go. And if you want, you can use the circle as a template to cut out circles, from your paper to create other designs. Click here to view tutorials on how to use the new Envelope-it and Sliding Ruler.
