Diamond Gatefold Card

As I said in my video This type of shaped card popped up in a “recommended” video for me on Youtube. I cannot find it now but I think it was done for Splitcoast stampers and was made using a metal die.

I knew that we could recreate the shape easily using ScanNCut Canvas, so I thought I would show you how.

You can make it any size you choose and use any shape it doesn’t have to be a square/diamond.

Hope you like it.

This was the card I cut from the video but I didn’t cut the mating layers.

ScanNCut 2016 Christmas Card

So today I decided I had to make some time to design my 2016 Christmas card, at one time Hannah and I made all our cards every year in the October school holiday, but Ive been so busy this year that just didn’t happen.

I am cheating a little this year and only sending a handmade card to my closest family, friends and neighbours with have to have a shop bought one.

So I wanted something simple and I saw this idea on Pinterest, the snowflake is an design in the holiday section of the SNC machine, I reduced its size to 1.25 inches in height.

The white base card is Stampin Up Thick whisper white which I cut in half lengthwise using my dreamkuts machine, love that for precision cutting.

The white mating layer is again SU thick whisper white cut at 5.5/8 x 3.7/8.

Ive rounded the bottom corners of the base card and the mat layer.

The greeting is from SU Lots of joy and stamped in Memento black ink and Ive added pearls to the centres of each snowflake.

I think its turned out ok, what do you think.

This is my assembly line for the rest of them, I just need time to finish them off now but at least Ive made a start!

How to navigate around my Youtube Channel

Ive been contacted recently by a couple of people who have watched certain videos and then asked “how do I do” something else.

I know on both occasions Ive made videos on what you are looking for, but because I am busy I cannot always direct you to the video at that moment, so I do reply and usually suggest you look in a specific playlist on my channel.

Then it occurred to me that you may not know about my channel or playlists, you may have just stumbled upon a video which kind of related to what you want but it may not have completely helped you.

So in this video I am showing anyone who happens to find me on youtube how to navigate around my channel. I have over 200 hundred videos mostly covering topics for the Brother ScanNCut machine and Canvas software but I do also have sewing and embroidery tutorials as well.

I now have over 11,500 subscribers and have had 1.1 million views to my videos which is mind blowing to me, all I can say is a Massive Thank you to everyone who takes the time to watch, like and subscribe.

I know I am getting several hundred new subscribers a month, so I thought this video may help some of you.
