First Scan & Cut Project

 

Hi everyone, how are you all today?  Gosh it is 'chucking' it down here, thunder and lightening.  Before that we had some sun - only in England right?

 

Well have I been playing today.  I have been watching this Brother Scan & Cut since launch, and trying my best to talk myself out of wanting one and failing big time.

 

Well I finally went and did it, I bought one, it arrived and I have played.  So far it is everything they said it was.  I figure I have saved myself £90 so far because I was looking to buy 3 spellbinders grande dies and I don't have to now because the shapes are already on the machine.

 

I have also found SVG files and Mel Heaton is right, taking them into the Canvas programme to convert them and putting them onto a USB is sooooooooooo easy.  Plus there are some fantastic designs around.  The rose one I have used was free form Birds Cards.

 

My Shopping List

tattered lace flower dies

embellishment made with my melt pot

1. I downloaded my SVG cutting file, took it into Brother Canvas programme and converted it to the FCM file and put it on my USB which I then used to cut out my rose background.
2. I then cut a frame on my BSC using blue card, attached my rose background to the rear and then placed that onto my card.
3. My topped is a tonic die
4. My flower is tattered lace and the red embellishment I made in my melt pot.

I am still in the early learning stages for my BSC but so far, I don't regret buying it and I know I will use it more than I used my cricut. 

 

I have also done some direct  cutting on some digi stamps - cutting them out ready to colour.  I just need to figure out how to put a seam on it so that will be my next lesson.

 

Hope you like my first project using my BSC- which I really have to name, but one will come to me eventually.

 

You take care and I will see you all soon.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
