One of the best things about the Brother Scan n Cut (at least in my opinion) is that you can cut out stencils with it. In the past, we had been using cardstock to cut out our stencils but as you can imagine, the cardboard doesn't last very long after you've sprayed it a few times with ink sprays and painted it over with acrylics and various other mediums. We have been wanting to test it using stencil plastic for ages but the only stencil plastic we had on hand was a thick stencil plastic that we knew the Brother
SPRINGY THINGY CARD TUTORIAL It's time for me to share my weekly Tuesday tip or technique. This tutorial fell out of my tips/techniques book as I moved it last night and so got chosen for today's effort. It makes a card front that the receiver pulls open and the card opens out like a spring to see an inner 20cm square area. Images of a completed card using this technique are below these instructions. Practice this on some scrap paper first. MATERIALS 20cm square piece of card stock or decorative paper of your choice. Pre colour the card if you wish. I'll use white card stock so you can clearly see what to do. Pencil, rubber, ruler, craft knife, craft mat and bone scorer. HOW TOO 1) On all sides measure and make a light pencil dot at the 5cm, 10cm and 15cm mark. On my sample I will use a black marker so you can see what I did easily. 2) From the 5cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark 3) From the 10cm mark at the left and right side measure in and mark a dot in at the 5cm mark from each side 4) From the 15cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark. These dots make a large diamond. 5) Score between all these dots. In my image I have drawn dashes to show you were to score 6) At the top 15cm mark score down to the right side of the diamond. At the 15cm mark at right edge, score across to the bottom of the diamond. At the 5cm mark on the bottom edge, score up to the left side of the diamond. Lastly at the 5cm mark at the left edge, score across to the top of the diamond. See dashed marks I have marked for you on my sample. All these score lines will be mountain folds. That is you bend the scored line back on itself to make a mountain. 7) At the 10cm mark on all sides score into the points on the diamond. See dashed areas on my sample. These scored lines and the scored lines for the diamond are all valley folds. That is you bend the scored line in on itself to make a little valley. Here is my sample with all the scored lines bent to their respective mountain and valley folds. 8) Now all you do is gently fold the card in on itself. Start on one side and then work your way around. If you have all the scored correct lines and folds it sort of winds in like a spring. It should look like this at the front and this at the back. Rub off all marked pencil dots. After I made my sample above for you I painted the card stock with white gesso, sprayed it with various sprays. Stamped and added embellishments to turn it into a steam punk card. I then layered and stuck it to a base card. As mine is fairly embellished it doesn't fold completely flat.

We recently purchased a Brother Scan n Cut Universal Pen Holder and promptly set about testing a number of different pens to see what worked and what didn't. I have to admit, that initially, I was doubtful that very many of the pens we have on hand would actually work with it. Well, we were pleasantly surprised because we found that a number of our pens not only worked but they worked extremely well. So with this in mind, we decided to write up a blog post so that our readers who either own the universal pen holder or are thinking of

How To Make A Journal From Blank Cards This cute little junk journal is easy to make. All it takes is a few blank greeting cards. Here's how to make one of your very own. Gather Your Cards Gather some A2 Kraft Cards & Envelopes. You won't use the envelopes for this project, but save them for a future journal craft. Decide how big you want your journal to be. I used 8 cards for a total of 16 pages, including front & back covers. One More Card Now get one more card and cut it vertically into inch-long strips as shown. I like to use a trimmer for this, but you can use scissors, too. Hinges Fold each strip in half as pictured. A ruler can help with this to keep the fold straight. These strips will become your "hinges". Cut Off Hinge Ends Next, take one of your folded strips or "hinges" and cut off each end at an angle as pictured. Attach Cards Using Hinge Line up two cards folded ends touching. Apply craft glue to your hinge and glue it to one of the cards as pictured. Next, apply glue to the other side of the hinge and attach it to the other card. The hinge holds the cards together, kind of like a door hinge holds a door to a wall. Repeat this process for all of your cards until they form one large book. Don't worry about the hinges showing. Once you decorate your journal, you can cover them with papers. Done! Easy Peasy And you're finished! You have a blank card journal ready for your personal touch. Want to see how I decorated mine with a vintage "World Travel" theme? Click here.
