My friend Josie from Coppernob has sent me one of her new scoreboards that have been added to docrafts’ Xcut range of products:-
I have been using her original scoreboard almost every day for years and just couldn’t craft without it, so I was interested to see what her new board has to offer, especially as my old faithful is looking a bit crook! I wonder if I could put it in the dishwasher?
Where the original is very basic, Josie’s new board (which also comes with a scoring tool), will help you fold, score, measure, make boxes and emboss. The integral rulers are a very welcome addition.
I’ve only ever used the original board to score cards, I’ve never used it to make boxes.. I have to be honest, the docraft instructions on the back of the packaging are not brilliant, however after a bit of playing I have made a pretty passable wedge shaped box as well as a pillow box.
These are very plain as they are my first efforts, but it wouldn’t take five minutes to add a few final touches to them to make them look more professional.
For more detailed instructions, Josie’s hints and tips page on her website is absolutely brilliant:-
Why not have a look and find out more?

Enjoy playing with your new board...I was tempted by this one but thought another board would be a bit OTT (I have a Crafters Companion Ultimate pro, a Martha Stewart, a scor-it, and a Hougie board) LOL

A very interesting board. I wouldn't mind getting one of these myself! Guess I'll be visiting their website soon. TFS
Helen!! Love ya hate ya,lol. I've been hankering to make pillow boxes for ages and have only found printable templates,... how the hell are we expected to score a pencil line accurately? Now i've seen this i've got to get one or i won't sleep, lol. Thanks for sharing. xx
Oops, one just fell into my basket. xx
Looks brilliant especially as it has my fav score tool - I am a huge fan or the cobbernob crease mouse I have them all over the house LOL
I know this is old now but I need your help! I can't figure out how to make the pillow boxes (I'm not a avid crafter!) The links don't seem to work and I can't find Coppernob on the web anywhere!
