Cricut Scoring Wheel vs. Scoring Stylus - Which is Better for Your Projects?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Cricut has two options to score all your projects: the scoring wheel, and the scoring stylus.
I often think to myself in a project - which scoring tool should I use? Should I use the scoring wheel? or should I use the scoring stylus?
Well, it all depends on what your project requires, and what machine you have. I cover each of these topics in this video.

    Very helpful Kelly. I must admit I have been quite frustrated with the scoring functions of both my stylus and wheels with neither giving me the deep scoring I can achieve on my scoreboard. I wish Cricut would allow the ability to increase the pressure for scoring as you suggest. I actually experimented with using my foiling tips for scoring as they move over the card took slower than the stylus and find they work quite well and don’t tear the material like the stylus does. I’ll give the double scoring wheel another go however after seeing your tips. Love seeing your gorgeous cat Sam in the video, he’s a very handsome boy!! Thank you for sharing as always.❤😘

    That just answered my question perfectly. I have not always been happy with the pressure of the stylus. So, I'm wondering if it's wiser to us the cut score lines. I have a lot of Christmas boxes to make and I don't want to be fussing about how well the scoring stylus is actually scoring. Thanks, Kelly. ❤

    You are so welcome! I often also use the 12x24 mat when I need to make a lot of something because then I can cut 2 pages at a time, so you may want to do that especially if you are using the scoring wheel! :)

    Thanks for the comparison. I did end up getting the stylus due to price but I’ve just decided to give any lines I do a double triple pass specially on card stock and that seem to work fine for me. I’m glad to watch this video tho as I’ve been thinking about maybe investing on a scoring wheel.

    This is what I did before getting my Maker. That said, I often find the scoring wheel and double scoring wheel don't provide enough pressure to properly score my heavier papers. I haven't used my Cricuts in a few months (multiple computers taking up the spaces in which they generally sit), so I don't remember if multiple passes with the wheels worked or not.

    You are welcome! You cant score the back of the card with print then cut, but you can score the front and fold it forward and then back again. If you arent using super thick card it wont be too much of a problem!
