Cutting Images From Books Using A Scan N Cut

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am back with another video showing how I use my Scan N Cut in my Journal making.   I am not one of these people who likes fussy cutting, my results are not great and with Rheumatoid Arthritis it does end up giving me lots of pain that can affect me for days. So I was delighted to discover that my Scan N Cut could be used to cut out images from books. When I first got it I just tried anything to cut out. I learned what would be successful and what I needed to do to make things work better. 

When cutting images from books or anywhere else the Scan N Cut will only cut an outline, so any part of the image that if what I call land locked will not cut out. You can see that from the  flower image. These can be cut later with a craft knife or left, sometime by adding ink with a blender tool it will just look like the background of what ever you are adding it to. 

The postcard had a ripped, deckled edge, obviously being a book page I will need to add a backing to it. So after cutting out the image I kept the information in the SNC and then loaded some tea dyed paper and cut this so it was the exact same shape as the postcard. So this can be added to the back. So clever, I love it.  

I have to thank Ashley from Applelover53 who gave me lots of advice and has so many great videos on her YouTube channel,
