Christmas Card Making Made Easy

It's never too early to start making Christmas cards. If you have followed my blog, I use my Brother ScanNCut machine to cut out shapes and design layouts.

This card layout is my Perfectly Aligned Strip Tutorial and is available HERE for only $4.95. You DO NOT need a Brother ScanNCut. 

If you want the Brother ScanNCut AND the tutorial pdf file, it can be purchased HERE for $6.95

If you only want the cut file, please EMAILme, the price is $4.95 but you will not receive the tutorial.

The pattern paper was cut using my BSNC. Once you create (or purchase) a card layout, all you have to do is export the file to your BSNC, center the shape over the pattern paper and click cut. No measuring at all. I placed two 6" x 6" squares of paper on my cutting mat and this is the end result.
