Welcome To My Blog

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

Following on from last weeks Zig Zag card, this weeks video will show you how easy it is to make this triple easel card using ScanNCut Canvas.

I thought the card I used was fairly sturdy but in retrospect I think I should have not put the dashed centre fold line on the largest heart, as it seemed to weaken the design and it couldn’t support itself properly.

The video on how to make the card and assemble it is Here

I hope you like it and are enjoying seeing the alternative shaped cards.

I have another one to show you so please subscribe to my Youtube channel to be kept up to date will all my postings.

 
 

I get asked a lot about how to make cards that are different shapes rather than just making a basic plain fold in half card, so in the next couple of videos I am going to try and show how to make something a little different using ScanNCut Canvas.

Heres the first one, you don’t have to use hearts and you can use your own measurements, its the technique I am trying to show you and then you can experiment yourselves.

I hope you find it helpful and the video is Here
