I was thrilled to learn about the introduction of the Cricut Scoring Wheel. I've always been a fan of the Cricut Scoring Stylus but I've often wished it had more power to make stronger scores that are easier to fold, and that it worked on more materials. Now my wish has been answered!

The Cricut Scoring Wheel is actually wheels plural - there are two different ones, as you can see in the photo above. The one labeled 01 has a single scoring wheel for scoring lighter materials like cardstock. The version labeled 02 above has two side-by-side scoring wheels that make two parallel scoring lines for clean folding of heavier materials without surface cracking. (There's no guesswork, either, about which one is the correct one for your material - your Cricut Maker will tell you after you select your material setting.)

The previous Scoring Stylus attached to your Cricut machine via the same accessory slot as the pens. The new Cricut Scoring Wheel is available only for the Cricut Maker machine because it attaches via the machine's Adaptive Tool System. This means that it has up to 10x the pressure to score materials as the old stylus.
This crease line on this envelope I cut was so perfectly crisp that it started to perfectly fold itself when I peeled the paper off of the cutting mat!

Since it's Christmas in July time, let's take a look at how the Cricut Scoring Wheel can make it so much easier to make your Christmas cards this year! The single wheel works wonderfully for cardmaking with 80lb cardstock. You can cut and fold this Merry & Bright Christmas Card in just moments, with perfect results!

I love making little goodies to go with cards, like lip balm or candy holders. They work best, though, from stiffer materials like this Cricut Foil Poster Board. Now with the double scoring wheel, I can get these beautiful double score lines that let me fold easily without cracking the surface of my foil!
