Scan and Cut 1 - Card Blanks

I have had my Scan and cut cm900 for about 3 years now. I have to admit that when I first got it I was a little bit apprehensive. I wasn't really sure what I could do with it. Now I use it for just about everything.

Some of the first usb's I purchased were the Tatteted Lace Shaped Cards usb's. They contain a good range of fancy shaped card blanks, and at the time I was predominantly a card maker so it seemed like a good place to start.



This basic decorative card was the first I cut. I cut the size it came on the USB, but now I know I can cut it in any size I like that will fit on my cutting mat.



I don't know about you but I find cutting and folding stepper cards by hand a bit difficult. I always get in a knot. I cut this decorative Edged stepper card in a few minutes on my scan and cut. I could not have cut this decorative edge without my scan and cut. Of course I can also cut all of the mats and layers to decorate the card with.



You don't even have to cut plain cards. This beautiful rose bordered card was designed by Birds Cards. I think it is beautiful and perfect for a very special card.

So go ahead if your scan and cut is still sitting in its box get it out and give it a go. Start simple, I did.

I'm going to make regular posts of things I use my scan and cut for. I hope you will join me,  and I hope they will help ypu get the best out of your scan and cut.

Creative Christmas Crafting

     Today's card is made using the Paper Pantry Vol X11 USB by Creative Crafting World. I used an 8x8 in card blank. I used a mat of gold mirri card which I cut to 7.75 by 7.75 ins and then glued it onto the front of the card. I chose two matching backing papers. These paper patterns are also reflected in the topper I chose. I chose the decorative paper first and cut it to 7.5x7.5 ins and glued it on top of the mirri card. Next I cut a piece of gold mirri card at 5.25x5.25 ins and glued it in the middle of the card. I cut the green paper at 5x5ins and glued it on top of the mirri card. The plain green paper is one of the coloured cards from the Collection. As it was just going into mats and layers I just printed it onto paper. I chose the topper and when I had cut it out I measured it and cut a piece of gold mirri card quarter of an inch bigger all around. Then I carefully glued them into the centre of the card. You could leave it at that but I wanted to add something extra. I had...

Making Videos

As you know I am busy getting content onto my YouTube Channel. I have made several videos over the last couple of weeks. I am not 100% comfortable with talking on videos. I am very aware of my very Geordie accent. I also get very nervous and feel like I am stumbling over my words, or in some places I feel there are awkward silences. I have tried making videos with no commentary in them, but they aren't right either. I am hoping I have found the solution to my problem. I have discovered this handy little app. It has enabled me to edit photos together and add text instructions to the pictures. I have been playing with it over the past couple of days, and so far I am impressed. I shall be adding videos made with this app soon. In the meantime if you would like to check out my YouTube Channel  you can find it here  Celticmoon Crafts YouTube Channel Until next time Happy Crafting
