Introducing Crafts by Beth Faux Die Tutorial - Brother ScanNCut




I've had my Brother ScanNCut for six years, making a sentiment layer was tedious. I learned the basics from YouTube videos. While creating this card, I had a lightbulb moment...I discovered a way to make sentiment layer and a sentiment mat for all my photopolymer stamps. And improved that one step by showing how to create files for my cling mount stamps. It took me over three days to create files for all my stamps, it was totally worth it. Previously it would take me up to thirty minutes or more to create one file for stamping just one sentiment. Now I can do it in under five minutes.

I have created a tutorial on how to create stamping layers and the "shadow" layer for the sentiment. If you know the basics to using your Brother ScanNCut and the Brother CanvasWorkspace you will be able to master my tutorial in minutes. If you decide to purchase my tutorial, you must need to understand how to scan and cut out an image using your machine. There are YouTube videos showing the basic steps for the beginner. To use this tutorial, again, you must know the basic steps in using your Brother ScanNCut and the Brother CanvasWorkspace software. I have never seen a video that creates sentiment and mat layers as easy as mine.

How do I get my layering so precise on my sentiment layer? Simply glue you straight-lined diecut/punch onto cardstock and allow to dry. Line the ruler guide across the edge and use a box cutter for a perfect layer. I use a cutting mat to protect my surface. I use temporary adhesive to hold the die cut in place.


*Dies are numbered with the largest being number one.

Simplicity Sells


I often see simple cards selling on Etsy, obviously there is a niche. This note card was quick and easy to make and in the process of making it - I figured out a way to quickly make the sentiment and sentiment mat layers using my Brother ScanNCut. I have spend nearly two weeks creating a tutorial that will be available FREE with your $50 Stampin' Up! product purchase from me using my Hostess Code. The tutorial will also be available for $9.99 once it is released. It is a Game Changer!!!
