I worked in a printing company forever and I just want to point out you are folding the score the wrong way. Try folding with copy on the front of the card, the score will not crack as much and will be cleaner.
I can't wait for your class today!.. glad I watched this video before it starts.. I'm late to making cards and just recently got my stylus(like a week or 2 ago).. ty for making awesome tutorials Angie!
I was wondering something similar. I've had success with making actual cuts of "writing" letters by lying to the joy and saying I am going to a red foil. In reality, I add a blade instead of red foil. Tried the same method where I told it to "write" and I put a blade instead of a marker. The foil uses more pressure. Wondering if one could have the Joy "foil" with a scoring stylus. Hope this helps!
Just want to circle back to this conversation. I just had really good success using both the scoring stylus with the adapter, and the foiling tool no foil, to get score lines! I followed the method in this video, except, instead of using "draw", I used the "foil" operation. Stats: Machine: Cricut Joy Paper: 65lb paper Paper setting: 65lb Pressure: light Thanks kindly for this video! Now that the Joy has the foiling function, which like you said was not available at the time you made this video, it works out so beautifully!
Go to all materials and make a new 1 called score only pressure all the way to the left and save, set score line as cut line and make 2 cards 1 with score line 1 without cut the score 1 first and set material as score only the cut line will score with stylus then put same paper back in and pick card stock and it will cut it out
I definitely wouldn't use this for just a score line on a card - can do that with a ScorPal - but this would be great for those Pop-up cards that require a score line when you don't know distances from the edge! (I realize you were just showing how to use the stylus) I like that you did the comparisions, but would I run it through the Joy 3 times? Probably not. Since all you have to do is "see" the score line, I would just throw the cardstock into my ScorPal or other scoring device and finish the job there. Much faster. :)) Great video though!
I've been scoring with my Joy using my foil transfer tool. I'm thinking your not getting enough pressure because too much pressure could mess up pens. Have you tried setting the line to foil and using the scoring stylus? I think you might get more pressure.
I have had success in cutting paper by using the "foil" option with a writing font and loading with a blade instead of the foil tool. I've also tried doing a writing function and putting a blade, but it won't cut. The foil function uses more pressure than writing for sure. Didn't think to score with the foil tool--thanks for that! Would like to compare "foil tool, no foil on paper, foil function" scoring vs "scoring stylus with adapter, foil function".
I'm a little late to the cricut joy party here but why not just set it to the Score setting to begin with? wouldn't that have been easier and faster? or does the Joy not do scoring?
I’m considering getting a Cricut machine, but I’m not sure which type to get. I want to use A4 card involving scoring to create 3D card models. Can you recommend which to get please? Or maybe do a comparison video of the different machines?
Could it be that the adapter was not letting the scoring stylus down far enough to be effective? I am wondering if the depth of the stylus is were the issue is
I have nothing to compare that to as there is no scoring tool for the Joy. There is no way that I know of to hold it in the Joy without an adapter either.
@@AngieHolden In the video you were comparing the scoring to the score produced with a stylus in your explorer. What I wonder is if you can lower the stylus a mm or so it might produce a better score line. In your pen comparison video you marked the pens to be at a certain depth. If you mark the stylus where the top of the adaptor is and put tape or something around the stylus so it sit just a fraction lower in the cradle it might score better.
You can also use small rubber bands, preferably the small loom rubber bands. Wrap it around the scorer three times. You can use the same technique for the pens without buying the expensive adapters.
Then it would not stop for you to change from stylus to the blade to cut the outside? I guess if you were JUST scoring and didn't need to cut anything.
@@AngieHolden I was watching someone who was using the Maker who had two different materials marked on the same file (red for craft board, black for mat board). Could something similar be used with the Joy?

You got this!
I just changed my scoring lines to foil and used foiling tool and outside of envy as cut and it told me when to change to blade turned out perfect
Also this was on the Xtra
Should work on Joy to
Wish I'd tried that first before I bought the thing to go on the scoring tool
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Could you use the scoring stylus on cut setting to make the score deeper? I imagine the pressure for cutting is more than for drawing

I just wanted to score and cut for the same project. So in that case I could not do that.

No problem 😊
Excellent video. I will definitely check out the adapter and missed your other video "Pens in the Cricut Joy.
Hope you enjoy it!
What about using the foil tool setting for the pressure but using the scoring tool with adapter? That should give more pressure.
Not sure?

You need to put more pressure on the pen setting
I can't find the link to you joy pen adapter for the styling tool
I linked to what I used in the description below this video however it has been discontinued.
Just bought the maker and want to know the best way to do stenciling. And your videos are so helpful. And easy to follow. Blessings

Interesting! I made this video before the foil tool came out so I didn't have that option.
How do you use the foil transfer tool to score? Just insert the tool instead of a pen?

Didn't think to score with the foil tool--thanks for that! Would like to compare "foil tool, no foil on paper, foil function" scoring vs "scoring stylus with adapter, foil function".
Could you use a cricut pen that has run out of ink for the score line?
I don't think that would work well.
Also there is a video called scoring with joy Xtra
Hi Angie do you have a trick to score with the joy xtra?
You would get the same results as shown here.
Brilliant! Thank you As long as I can see it even faintly, I can fold it.
Great
Glad I could help!

Joy does not do scoring.
@@AngieHolden oh okay thank you for replying
New to Cricut mindset. In contour will the Cricut cut these pieces? Or in slice how do you make sure the pieces fit together

Is it possible to get the perforator blade for a Cricut Joy?
No it is not.
I’m considering getting a Cricut machine, but I’m not sure which type to get. I want to use A4 card involving scoring to create 3D card models.
Can you recommend which to get please? Or maybe do a comparison video of the different machines?
I think you want an Explore. You can see my comparison here: ruclips.net/video/eXXu8sWtJf4/видео.html
For anything wider than 12cm you’ll need an Explore or Maker
do I need that adaptor only from Cricut?
Cricut does not make an adapter for this.
Could it be that the adapter was not letting the scoring stylus down far enough to be effective? I am wondering if the depth of the stylus is were the issue is
I have nothing to compare that to as there is no scoring tool for the Joy. There is no way that I know of to hold it in the Joy without an adapter either.

@@piperpowell5024 that sounds like a great idea! If I had a Joy (perhaps in the future) I would certainly try that out!
Maybe you can try with mini rubber bands
The adapter clearly has the scribe set too high. I think I’ll design one for my wife since I have a 3D printer. Thanks for testing it.
Try using it without the adapter. It may need to be a little closer to the mat
It won't hold it without the adapter.
How do you get it to do 3 passes on the score line
You can put lines one over the top of each other.
Where can I buy that adapter? in the Netherland
Sorry I am not sure!
You can also use small rubber bands, preferably the small loom rubber bands. Wrap it around the scorer three times. You can use the same technique for the pens without buying the expensive adapters.
Je kan ze via amazon bestellen in Nederland
Could we use the blade setting instead of pen?

@@AngieHolden I was watching someone who was using the Maker who had two different materials marked on the same file (red for craft board, black for mat board). Could something similar be used with the Joy?
@@AngieHolden What if you made a separate layer for the score (cut) line, and use max pressure?
@@AngieHolden make 2 of the same card 1 without the score line to just cut put the same paper in both times
