Transfering Cutting Dies to ScanNCut
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2024
- A few months ago, I created a video on how to transfer cutting dies to your ScanNCut. That tutorial was for those of you who got rid of their cutting machines (Cuttlebug, Big Shot…) after buying the ScanNCut but still want to use the dies.
This new video was created for crafters who still have their cutting machines but want to learn how to transfer the dies to ScanNCut so that you can resize and cut in larger numbers.
It’s a very simple technique.

This is the second video of yours I have watched. Your instructions are thorough and very easy to follow. Because of you, I have gotten so much done today. Thank you. Keep it up!
Thanks! It makes such a difference when I know it will help others get inspiration, Mary. Have fun!
I totally agree!!
Thank you. Love the fact that you can scan your die cuts and make multiples, and even change the size.
You’re welcome
Thank you so much for this video. I love your technique. Your pace make your videos easy to follow. I love my scan n cut. ❤️
This is great information and not just on the die capture but on how to combine those random pieces that separate off from the main image. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
Thank you Paula, I have dozens of dies, butI never thought to do this! Brilliant!
Have fun!
This was so helpful!!! The symbols on the Scan N Cut are not intuitive, and I can't tell you how many times I have deleted images to avoid having the machine cut one image into several. You just made it so easy to understand how to fix the problem which will save me a lot of headaches in the future! Thank you!!!
You are absolutely right pixie. It’s not intuitive at all. Glad it helps.
Very helpful video. Thank you for the tutorial 💜
Thank you so very much! Your videos are so helpful.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. Lots of useful information
Such a great informative video! I am still learning with my scan n cut and did know how to do this but you made it so easy to understand the steps! Thank you such much! Keep up the great work! 😊
Great video…straightforward which makes it easier to follow.
You explained so well ,easy to understand .thank you very much. I will try it.
Such a great tutorial. Your directions and explanations are so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this it is very helpful.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, and I am excited to know the resizing of die images and saving to machine.
Thank you - great instructions so. clear and understandable. I am looking to purchase a Scan n Cut in the next couple of month, now for sure I will after seeing that I can upload my dies. 😀. Keep sending out instructions and ideas for its use. 🌵🦋💖
I’m so happy that your channel was recommended to me. Awesome tutorial!
you're welcome!
I am going to get removable storage just for this, I have a lot of dies. I thought about doing this, thank you for the formula, you are appreciated, happy holidayz!!!
I am so thankful you took the time to do this video! Thank you! Job well done!
You’re welcome!
This is where the scanning mat makes sense. With it you don't have to glue or tape things down. You place everything where you want it on the scan mat, close the clear cover, load the mat, and scan. You also don't run the risk of scraping or damaging the scanner element. But if you're still under warranty Brother will take care of it. I got a new machine as a replacement for a defective scanner element plus another new manufacturer's warranty.
If you don't have the die machine used for the dies you could color them with a dark marker before placing them on your scanning mat. That ought to provide all the contrast needed to render a good scan. Now you can go out to buy more dies or shapes to scan with your Scan N Cut to convert them into new .FCMs. A Brother representative told me the internal storage size is limited to 1.5 MegaBytes! It'll fill up quickly with so little to work with. I'm nowhere near filling my 16 GigaByte USB 2 flash Drive with .FCMs or .SVGs.
Very well explained,thank you
You’re welcome

You’re welcome!
Thank you. It was very helpful
You’re welcome, Stan!
@Crafting with Paula Your videos are very helpful, understandable, to the point. I appreciate that
Thank you great tips x
Absolutely fantastic, I have had my Scan NCut for 5 years and was afraid to use it.
Glad you got rid of your fears, Francine!
Thank you so much for this tutorial video. Your instructions are so very clear and easy to understand. I always felt that the Brothers icons are not very intuitive. Loved watching you walk through it step by step.I learned a lot.
You’re welcome! ScanNCut can be intimidating at first, for sure! My Channel has a lot of other tutorials, hope you learn more.
@@craftingwithpaula Ha ha, I tried to do what you said but have no idea what I'm doing really. I will re-visit the project When I'm a bit more advanced. I'm a newbie and have only had my machine a couple of weeks. :)
thank you for explaining it so well!
You’re welcome Penny! 😉
@@craftingwithpaula I'm using a CM350 machine and my canvas workspace looks nothing like yours; is it because my machine is old?
I guess it is… sorry
Canva Workspace need to be updated from time to time, if you do it should look like mine.
@@craftingwithpaula Made a few templates today based on your video. Thank you!
This was very helpful
Glad to hear that!
I think if you have a xyron sticker maker it will be quicker than gluing every piece down if you'll be doing a lot of die cuts.
Yes that is an option another to consider is purchasing an actual scanning mat as this is made with a non static type of acetate and a non sticky mat. This in turn gives a very clear background to scan an abundance of things including stencils. Thank you for this video xx
If you have a printer with a scanner. Just put them on the glass and copy. Then, either adjust the size or print as is then attach to the scsn n cut mat. No need to glue anything.
Thanks!
Very nice demo. Word of caution though: You must check the company’s “Angel Policy” regarding electronic reproduction of the die (or stamp) image. While an Angel Policy does not generally affect anything you create/use for personal use, it does affect anything you might sell that uses that image. The majority of craft companies do not allow you to replicate or resize their dies electronically if you are the using the resulting image in commercial products for sale (such as greeting cards, scrapbook pages, or journals).
Thanks for that, dear but I'm not selling anything, it's just for teaching purposes. Appreciate your comments.
@@craftingwithpaula I realize you most likely already knew this. My comment was for other people watching this video who may not be aware of the legal requirements for using this method as it was not mentioned in the video.
I am very ecstatic about this information!!
I would like to know if you have tried this same technique with box dies that need score lines and if you have tried it, how did it work out for you and do you have any videos on it and if not, are you willing to try it out and let us know how everything worked out via tutorial video?.
I’m planning on making a video about boxes too. The scoring lines don’t work but that’s not a problem because you can always score it after it’s cut. I don’t like to design scoring lines on ScanNCut, because he does it by cutting the paper in small dots or dashes and that exposes the white part of the inside of the paper. I don’t like that.
@@craftingwithpaula Ok, thank you.
How do I separate these once they are scanned into the machine. Say I only wanted the rectangle cut and not the others?
Thank you so much, Paula! I have a question-what if a shape die has stitching on the cutting side? Us their a way to include the stitching on the saved scan and cut image?
It will depend on the paper, and how well the machine will scan it. I doubt it would be worth it because the stitching is so delicate that for sure there will be portions without it. Maybe if you use a light-colored cardstock/paper? And honestly, even when I create a shape on Canvas with stitching, it never looks as good as the ones we get from dies.
You could create an internal offset and change the cutting line to dashes.
❤.
Just a question...after you've done all this and you want to cut the images, do you place the paper on your mat in a specific location? Can you show how you do the actual cutting once the images are saved to your machine? I just got my SNC and I'm new to all this.
Hi Christine, there is no specific place for the paper, as long as it stays within the margins you see on the mat. As for cutting, if you look through my videos, there are many showing how to cut images, it's basically the same process.
Fab tutorial. I have a problem though. Following your instructions to the letter which I write down as you go. When I scan he image in it is perfect but as soon as I move the arrows to crop the image when joining it all together there are parts that get missed out. It's a butterfly and some bits on the tips of the wings don't cut out. I Have tried scanning it in about 5 times in different places on the mat but the same happens. Sadly this is my favourite die :( I'm using an SDX900. Any help you can give me would be great, thanks. x
it probably separated parts of the image. The way to solve this is by GROUPING what has been identified as different parts. Use the arrow keys to find what is separated and join them by "grouping" into one image. This should solve the problem.
@@craftingwithpaula Thank you Paula, will give if a go x
I am a Chinese fan from you. I like your tutorial very much. Can I send you some molds for free?
send me an email, I need to know what you're talking about: craftingwithpaula@gmail.com
You didn't cut it to show the final product?
The final product is what I showed in the beginning of the video. :)
