I need to make some party bags, so I though I would make a video showing how to make them.
These are great to make and keep as they fold flat and can be used for any occasion.
Hope you enjoy the video which is Here
I challenged myself to make a simple card using a basic shape that is in the SNC machine, the card I made is the hexagon card and the video is
Once I had made that I made another using the butterfly also from the machine.
Two very simple quick cards, both made with pre installed shapes from the SNC and a little extra decoration from some rubber stamps, basic white/coloured card, paper and adhesive.
What do you think?
If you would like to buy any Stampin Up craft supplies please visit my online shop link on the left sidebar, the butterfly stamp is from the Perpetual Calendar set and I have another project to show you soon with that.
This weeks video was inspired by my friend Nancy who does amazing projects with vinyl, she wanted to be able to cut a design that was bigger than not only our 12×12 mat, but bigger than the 12×24 mat, she knew what she wanted to do using Inkscape and asked me for some help in how to pull it off.
A new video was born!
You may know a better way to do this but this is what jumped into my mind as soon as she asked me.
You will need Inkscape which is free vector software available off the internet and there are direct links at the bottom of my blog for both Mac and PC users.
In the video I show you how to split designs that are in landscape and portrait and this can also be done with text, so the possibilities are endless. I hope you enjoy the video.
The video is Here
Just as an extra note Paul Bailey reminded me that this can be done in ScanNCut Canvas using the “divide” function, the only thing I would say is when I was doing my testing before I recorded the video it wasn’t as straight forward as doing it in Inkscape, there’s an extra step in that when you do the divide you will have at least two parts, one which you will delete and that will reveal the cut away section underneath.
Also from my testing, on some designs like my stag head when it divided the design I had several extra bits I had to delete before I could reveal the part I needed, so for me it was an easier process to use Inkscape, but use the same principles I show you in the video and try it with Canvas using “divide” and see for yourself.
