Hello!!! Welcome, June!
This is the first post for the month...and I'm excited to share. This past weekend, several of my dearest friends assisted me with organizing the disaster area the was/is my craft room and I'm proud of where we are in the process...my garage and car may not love me for a while (that's where all the overflow stuff is and the car isn't) but it had to be done. But I took some time to play in the craft room yesterday.
Now, I've done this before but didn't think I'd do it again...simply because, as I've mentioned numerous times, I'm challenged with alignment. I can't draw a straight line...even with a ruler. Enter the Brother Scan n Cut...this amazing tool has been collecting dust (kinda) as I didn't have a place earmarked to be able to use it properly...now I do (thanks to the big clean).

I used the floral image from a set from Unity Stamp Company (...Aging Gorgeously) and stamped it twice on a Basic White panel. After coloring the images using the Stampin' Blends, I then completed the panel by ink blending in the same colors I used. Next, I was off to the scan n cut to die-cut the word "FRIEND". After putting the letters back into the panel, I added wink of Stella (because I LOVE bling), stamped the sentiment "Hello" from the Simon Says Stamp set "Front Porch Family" to finish out the card before adding it to the basic white card panel. Here's a side view of the card.

Caron, how did you die-cut the word in the scan-and-cut? Did you load the DSP into the machine? If so, how did you cut the letters into it? I admit thar I haven't been able to play with my machine alot either. lol It's a wonderful technique though and you card is just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes and yes! Once I turned on the unit, I selected pattern and then letters, chose the font I wanted to use, typed the word, then sized it accordingly. I loaded the background paper I created on the mat then scanned it in as a background into the machine. Positioned the word on the paper then hit cut.
ReplyDeleteHow about a tour/pictures of your reorganized craft room...I would love to see it. Charlotte
