Is it possible to take an image and manually program it to cut different patterns on multiple copies? I want to create a 3D effect by layering ~15 copies with progressivly more elements removed from each layer.
Thank you for this great basics tutorial. I bought a 2nd hand machine 3 months ago and never taken it out of the box. Had no time to learn how to use it until now. I look forward to learning more from your videos. 😃 Belinda
Thank you for the in-depth details of how much of the rim should be showing!! I have messed up 4 cups and taken off way too much because other videos I watch don’t specify how much! Thank you!!!
Thank you, I have had my machine for at least 4 years, and for some reason I have had a block where I couldn’t make myself use it. I have learned so much and I’m only half way through the video!
Thank you for this beginner tutorial. I bought my ScanNCut over 4 years ago. I was rather intimidated by it all so didn't use it. I will definitely be trying it again after watching your video. 😊
You can still put a pic on the top of your stamps... Stamp the image, then somehow laminate or coat the pic to prevent ink from any moisture, then glue it on your stamp
Thanks for a great presentation. I'm NEW, I have a Brother DESIGN N CUT but I figured that your info would help take the mystique out of my first try. There seeems to be no videos for my model... I hope this works for me. You have a nice way of presenting the info, like you care. It's not about the 'clicks' that you get. In good faith I have also subscribed... hope your info is relevant.
I have 3 scan n cuts and I downloaded all the patterns from each one, so I don't have to go through all that looking. Plus I never realized, there were some cute patterns. Love all my snc's. I use mine primarily for fabric they cut out all my patterns and fabrics for doll clothes.
Wonderful, I am going to look for your other videos. Like many others I have had my scan n cut for way too many years still in the box. I took it out today.
I found that holding the edge of the stamp under running hot water for a few seconds softens the glue. I'll hold it there, pull off a little, put it back under hot water for a few seconds, and repeat the process.
Thanks for a great tutorial. I haven't pulled mine out in years so I need this refresher. One tip I remember from long ago was that if your mat looses some of its tack you can use little pieces of tape at some out of the way edges to hold it down.
I am so happy I found you!! I bought my Scan n Cut almost 3 years ago. I watched some other tutorials, etc., but used it very little. I ended up homeschooling 2 young ones during Covid in 2020 when schools shut down, and when I survived that I went back to other tools that I was familiar with...my comfort zone. Homeschooling was not my comfort zone, but I ended up enjoying it. I vowed this year I was going to conquer using my Scan n Cut! I love the way you explain things in detail, and I learned a lot, so I hope I will find more videos from you about this! I have more confidence now. Thank you very much!!
I know this is was a few year ago but I had to say thank you! It was so encouraging to hear that you prefer this over a cricut. I love your down to earth way of explaining things. I'll get the most out of my machine now, thanks to your videos!
Your link shows whiteboard cardstock. Is that what you're saying will allow the stamps to be stored and removed over and over as you need them with the aliens tacket adhesive? I'm not familiar with a whiteboard cardstock.
How does this compare to Cameo 3? I would love to be able to stamp on paper and then run through something and just cut out shape. Is this what I'm looking for? The cost of dies is killing me. I'm a card maker. Thanks.
You might change it to mm. Push the wrench button on the left side of your screen, where you can change the language, the next row is to switch from " to mm, at least with mine, a CM550DX.
Hi i have tried Aleenes stick and stick again on my unmourned stamps to put it on to as asetate Does not stick verry well what am l doing wrong please help. Thank you.
Are you watering it down? If not ir should stick really well. Are you sure you c are using tacknit over and over in the white bottle? Tacky glue in the gold bottle will not work.
Great idea! Could also be great for a simple party invitation! Think about a church group caroling party! Lots of fun! Great idea, keep up the great work!
Thank you for a useful, helpful tutorial. It gives me confidence to try again.if i had watched this first I could have saved myself some grief when the machine did not cut through my objects.
