Over the last few weeks Ive been concentrating on showing you how to make shaped cards using ScanNCut Canvas, I still have a few more ideas which I will post over the next few weeks but this week I thought I would do a sewing project.
In this weeks video I show you how to sew this simple purse/wallet for holding all those store loyalty cards we seem to collect these days.
You only need small scraps of fabric and some kind of fastening, i.e. velcro, button, popper etc.
The pattern is available to download Here Just scroll down and look for this picture, Its in Dropbox.

This weeks video tutorial is How I made this Zig Zag card using ScanNCut Canvas.
This complete card was made from a basic shape in SNC Canvas which I manipulated and the inbuilt flower design on the machine.
I show how to make the base card, add dashed fold lines and make the pattern paper matting layers.
When I was cutting out the design I used the centre pattern paper mat layer, which I flipped on the machine and cut it from white cardstock to give me an area to add my greeting.
This card fits easily into a standard DL envelope which is 4-3/8 x 8-5/8 inches
The flower details are:-
Green card flowers were cut at 1-1/4 & 1-1/2 inches wide
Pattern paper layers were cut at 1 & 1-1/4 inches
Circle white card flower centres were cut at 0.40 & 0.35 inches
I think its turned out really cute.

So here is another idea for a shaped card, well box actually! These exploding boxes were very popular several years ago and I’ve seen a few popping up on the internet recently so thought I would show how easy they are to make in ScanNCut Canvas.
Ive not decorated mine inside at all, it was just made for the video tutorial but you can make them as simple or elaborate as you wish, you could add photographs, embellishments patterned paper matting layers, anything at all.
The beauty of making this in Canvas is that it is completely re-sizeable. Just make sure you group it all and then size it, and ungroup.
The flower decoration on the lid was made using an inbuilt design from the SNC machine pattern number AR-AO15 and these are the dimensions used if you want to recreate them.
They were made for the next video project which will be posted next week, but as I had a couple left over and this box was sat on my desk I used then for the lid.
Green card flowers were cut at 1-1/4 & 1-1/2 inches wide
Pattern paper layers were cut at 1 & 1-1/4 inches
Circle white card flower centres were cut at 0.40 & 0.35 inches
