I was asked several weeks ago if you can cut a specific shape from a sheet of decoupage and if so how?
In this video I try and show the process I would use to cut a custom shape from a patterned piece of paper.
I didn’t have any decoupage sheets so Ive had to improvise and show how it can be done, using a heavily patterned sheet of vellum.
As you will see from the video the bounding box you drag around your design can have an affect on what the ScanNCut sees to cut.
This is what I cut out, they are in reality a lot paler in colour than they look here and the SNC did a great job recognising the shapes and fussy cutting them.

I hope it helps.
The question of how fonts look when using the ScanNCut pen tool has come up a few times recently on Facebook, questions like “how do you get the pen to fill in the text” “Why is the pen only drawing the outline of text”.
So I thought I would try and explain what fonts to look for when using the pen tool.
In my video I concentrate on “handwriting fonts”. I usually get my fonts from Dafont.com I have used this site for many years without any problems, you can also use “single stroke” fonts, you usually have to buy these so Ive not made any recommendations for these and will leave you to search the net and decide if you want to use them.

I hope it helps you understand what to look for to get the best result when using your pen tool for writing greetings etc.
