I'm back with a new round of ScanNCut technique videos. I hope they answer your questions. And remember, you can find all of my ScanNCut videos here.
First up, let's explore the editing interface. In the video I push all the buttons and give you a guided tour of what every icon means.
In this next video I share how to change the settings on your ScanNCut so that you can cut super big with the 12×24" mat!
Here is the cut from the video, with my hand for scale:
Remember, you can cut even bigger than this! I didn't have a piece of paper that was 24" long, so I used a shorter piece of paper.
I get a lot of e-mails asking about cutting stencils with your ScanNCut. I've done a number of video projects that share cutting a stencil, but I wanted to do a quick technique video that simply gets down and dirty with how easy it is. There are no standard settings. It depends on the stencil film you're cutting. Be sure to test cut to ensure you've got the settings right!
Here's the stencil and mask I cut in the video:
In case you're wondering, I used this stencil plastic.
Finally, did you know that your ScanNCut works as a large format scanner?! That's right! Scan any image — up to 12×12 in size — as a 300dpi .jpg, saved to a USB thumb drive. Isn't that awesome? Watch the video for the how-to
Here is the scan from the video:
Beautiful color and quality!
As always, let me know if you have any ScanNCut questions you'd like answered in a video tutorial! I want to help you make the most of your ScanNCut!
Thanks for stopping by!

Ha! Never thought of using the Scan-n-Cut as a scanner! What a great idea! You can do 12×24, can’t you, if you have a 24-inch scanning mat. Hmmm–do they make oneof those?

I have had my ScanNCut for well over a year, now. My first big project was a shadow box using your instructional video, way back when. I continue to use my machine for making cards and cutting my own stencil designs. It is an amazing machine – worth every penny! One thing I have learned is to replace my mats. No matter how well you clean them, at a certain point in time, the gazillion cut tracks will prevent your paper from properly adhering to the mat, causing all kinds of “bunching up” problems when you try to cut a stencil. You just have to bite the bullet and replace them. The same is true of the blade cartridge.
Thank you Julie for posting these excellent videos. I always learn so much from them. Your delivery and instructional style is so clear and following the steps you provide is actually as easy as you make it sound. You are an excelllent embassador for the Brothers’ brand, that’s for sure!
A little tip – I buy a package of twenty-five clear acetate report covers (81/2 x 111/4) at Staples to use for making stencils. They are thick enough to use modelling paste and durable enough to use over and over again and relatively inexpensive. The manufacturer is Swingline GBC.
