HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Don't you just love to be able to die cut your stamped images for your card making or scrap booking? Having that image cut out allows you to pop it up or add it to another group of images. But those metal dies can be quite costly. A Brother Scan-n-Cut can replace your need for those metal dies. You no longer need to buy those dies - watch my video to find out why.

Use your Brother Scan n Cut to cut out those stamped images. Now I am not saying there aren't some metal dies you may still want. There are dies that cut out and emboss beautifully, but you won't need those that specifically outline your stamped images which means you can spend more money on stamps.
Join me and I will show you how you can use this machine to easily outline your stamped images.

Thanks for watching!

I love this video, it shows me how to work the machine as well. Now to save up for a 300 dollar machine. You have convinced me to get one.
You won’t regret it. And you will pay for it with what you save on metal dies. :-). Thank you for watching.
I just ordered my machine, can’t wait to get it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE my scan n cut
hope you do too!
April
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow! Now I want a scan and cut!!!
You can’t go wrong. ;-)
April Story Hi!!
Hi Bradley. Thank you for subscribing.
Also love my scan n cut! Helps so much. I’ve also used it to cut stencils and stamps before but that’s rare. Mostly it’s cutting stamped images.
I think it pays for itself. :-)
Thumbs up 👍
Thank you
April
I have a scan n cut cm550 which i love but it has its limitations when scanning and cutting and something really needs to be done about the mats a pain when you have to keep using tape to stick edges down. Regards jean
I agree it does have its limitations and I have used my fair share of tape. :-). For me, the savings in metal die cost has paid for the machine. That said - that is all I use the machine for as I don't like their software either. Thanks for watching.
April
Love it
Thank you so much for watching. :-)

hello i just watched your video great and clear thank you now i wondering how to be able to write a sentence like happy birthday with the scan n cut pen , but then add a shape from scan n cut around it , and cut it out with blade with out cutting the writing ✍️ is there a trick to this thanks robyn
I am sure it can be done. I will do some research and do a video on it. :-). There should be a way to tell the machine that one set of lines is for the pen and another set is for cutting. You might have to do it in the software.
April
@@aprilscraftroom Do the writing first, then delete the (cutting/writing) lines. Scan in what you have just wrote then add any shape you want around it. It will then only cut the shape you have just put there and not the writing.
Thank you @Steve ! There you go @robyn harwood. :-)
April
@@Steve-zh6zn thank you very much that did work ,robyn
Great tutorial! May i ask also, is it ok to just tape the paper should the mat is not sticky anymore? Thank you!!
Yes. You can use painter’s tape or washi tape. Thank you for watching.
April
@@aprilscraftroom thank you for your reply.. ❤️❤️
I have been considering purchasing one of these for quite some time, but I have read countless negative reviews regarding issues with the mat, both in loading and tackiness. Have you had any of these issues? You are giving me hope!
I use the standard mat and I've not had any issues with the tackiness or loading the mat. Make sure you get the Scan n Cut 2 or higher as I did have issues with the first Scan N Cut recognizing my scanned images. When the mat loses its stickiness I use painters tape until I get a new mat. I've been very pleased with my purchase. Thank you for watching.
April
Thank you for sharing! Do you use the software to make die cuts that aren't stamped? Like background panel dies and stencils fir welded images like butterflies? I was looking at purchasing these types of dies and/or stencils for card making and thought "duh, I could use my Brother for this instead!" Can you do a video tutorial?
I have not done that but you are right - there is no reason you couldn't. There are all kinds of shapes in the Brother Canvas software that you could use. :-). Great question. Thank you for watching.

Hello April I was wondering how often do you need to replace your blades in the brother scan n cut thanks
Honestly I haven't used mine enough to need to replace the blade yet. I have only used it to cut out around stamps until recently. The blades must last for quite a long time. I am going to be doing some applique which is going to require cutting fabric, but I have a fabric blade for that. Probably not a great answer, but it's all I've got so far. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
@@aprilscraftroom thanks for your reply I'll probably invest in one knowing me lol I'm addicted
If you buy matching dies for your stamps it is a great investment. :-)
Are you able to use a marker to draw a saved image and enlarge it?
I am not sure I follow your question. You can scan an image and enlarge the outline around it by adjusting the size of the space around the image. You could replace the blade with a pen and draw it. Is that what you are asking ?
I thought maybe you could use it to scan an image, and draw it rather than stamp it again.
Yes you can. Once you scan it using direct cut and enlarge the outline around it you can choose draw instead of cut. And make sure you’ve loaded a pen.
This is awesome! What model is this?
The Brother Scan n Cut 2 CM350 and it works on the SDX225F as well. Thank you for watching.
April
What kind of paper did you use? Was that card stock?
It is a heavy weight card stock from HP. 110 lbs although that can mean different things for different brands of paper. :-). Thank you for watching.

You make it look so easy - I might actually stop being scared of my machine and actually USE it! Have you used it to cut out masks from products like Gina K masking magic? I hate fussy cutting masks! :)
I have not but that is a wonderful idea. I will try it and do a video. Thank you for mentioning it. :-)
@@aprilscraftroom Thanks April - a video would be great! I'm so glad I saw your post in one of the FB groups this morning and found your channel - you know I'm subscribed now :)
Thank you for subscribing. I have ordered the Gina K masking magic. Video coming soon. :-)
Hi April, I’m on the fence about buying either the Brother Scan & Cut or the Silhouette. I have the Cricut Explorer Air 2 and the Cricut Maker but I also want to stop buying dies all the time. I’m devouring all the videos that I can about each of the machines. Is it true that the Brother Scan & Cut can cut 3mil? Have you used the Silhouette? Thank you for doing these informative videos. Please take care and stay safe. ~Barbara
Thank you so much for watching my videos. I have not used the Brother Scan n Cut to cut thick material but it cuts paper beautifully. When using my Silhouette or Cricut I sometimes struggle to get a thick sheet of paper cut. I keep telling myself to become more familiar with the Brother software so I will use it more often. But back to your question. If you are specifically buying a machine to cut out images so you won’t have to buy dies for that purpose the Brother Scan n Cut is the machine for you. That being said the Silhouette is a wonderful machine and their software is top notch. But when you buy a Silhouette you are buying something very similar to the Cricut machines you already have. I have a Silhouette, several Cricuts and a couple Brothers. I enjoy each machine for different reasons. I use the Scan n Cut mainly for cutting out my stamped images. I hope this long winded answer helped.
April Story Thank you so much for your response. Yes I guess it really comes down to the amount of money we have to pay for dies and it seems that since the pandemic the prices have been going up and being able to use SVG designs from Silhouette will also be useful. Your videos are honest, straightforward and so informative in an easy to understand format.
Thank you for your kind words. :-)
@@aprilscraftroom Hi, can you tell me what you use your Silhouette and Cricuts for? I am trying to decide what machine to get. Thanks.
@@aprilscraftroom Also, does the Brother Scan N Cut have to scan every single document? For example, if I am doing several copies of the same thing, can I just put new pages on and have it cut them, or do I need to mess with the settings every time? Thanks.
Which one is it exactly?
It is the Brother Scan n Cut 2. I had the original but the results were not nearly as consistent as with the 2. Mine is several years old so I am sure any current machine will work as well.
@@aprilscraftroom Thank you very much!
Will your scan n cut cut fabrics?
I have not really been successful cutting fabric with my Brother Scan n Cut CM350, but I have high hopes for my Brother Scan n Cut SDX225F. Thank you for watching.
