Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper Tutorial - Card #2 - Canvas Workspace Cut File Included

Designed by Beth - Canvas Workspace Software

I created the file to cut out the card base on this card layout. Normally, the swing arm is separate and has to be scored and glued to the card base. Not anymore!

For those familiar with Canvas Workspace and cutting with a Brother ScanNCut, cutting an A2 card base from a standard 8 1/2" x 11" sheet isn’t straightforward. The software adds a slight margin, making perfect alignment difficult. Since you can't cut a full 11" length directly, my workaround is to design cards with a shorter width. This particular card measures 10 1/2" x 5 1/2", with the folded size at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". After cutting, simply score a 3 1/8" and the tab ... Cardmaking made easy!

Because of the margin the software adds, I recommend using a paper trimmer to cut the layers to avoid wasting paper. For example, the Designer Series Paper (DSP) kit here measures 3 7/8" x 4 1/4", uses more than 3 7/8 and 4 1/4", trimming is preferable. I’ve included a cutting file with measurements for those who prefer to cut layers with your trimmer, making the process more precise and efficient.

You receive the both the directions for those that DO NOT have a BSNC machine and those that do.

Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper Tutorial - We R Memory Keepers Layers Guide Tool

How do I do this? 

How do I make a perfect mat for Stampin' Up!'s Tailored Tag punch?

Create a perfectly layered sentiment mat effortlessly using the Memory Keepers Layers Guide Tool available HERE on Amazon. This is an essential tool for achieving precise, clean layers on your cards. 

Glue your sentiment onto cardstock. Use a thicker cardstock for best results

For the best results, align the Layers Guide with your cutting mat and temporarily glue down the stamped sentiment  and mat for stability. Balance the tool guide equally across the cutting mat. Using a sturdy surface and a box cutter ensures clean cuts every time.

This is the tool kit I used in the picture above. I'm using an older version, but did purchase this one below when I misplaced mine. We R Memory Keepers Tool Kit is available HERE. It includes a cutting mat, magnetic steel ruler, scissors, craft knife, reverse tweezers, brad setter and piercing tool. 

• The scissors cuts paper easily. 
• The reverse tweezers are a game changer for placing an embellishment on a card or scrapbook page.
• The magnetic ruler has a sharp edge to not only hold your paper in place but the metal edge keeps your cuts straight.
• I use the piercing tool for two different work stations.

I use this kit nearly every time I create cards. The magnetic ruler has a great metal edge to use with these box cutter.
