Hey you guys!  I'll be on HSN tomorrow (July 6, 2016) during the 7am, 2pm, and 6pm hours.  

HSNJuly
Let's not discuss what's going on with my hair in that photo.  Hopefully there will be better hair tomorrow!  ;)

If you've never watched HSN before, I have about 20 minutes during each of those hours (7am, 2pm, and 6pm) to show off some projects as well as ScanNCut tips and techniques.  I never know quite where I'm going to be in the hour.  So you may not see me when you first tune in, but I will show up at some point.  ;)  

You can watch live on your TV or stream it on HSN.com.

Now, onto today's post: I'm answering two very common ScanNCut questions in today's duo of videos.

First up, how do you turn a photo into a cut file?

A copy machine and some tracing paper is the answer!

Next up, how do you leave a cut partially embedded as in these butterfly wings?

  • Hi Julie,
    Thank so much for sharing how you did your face on the tee shirt. I would like to try that with my own printer. I do have tracing paper. I also have the iron on sheets from Brother.
    I saw the tee shirt on the last presentation on HSN and thought that was a fabulous idea and so very personal.
    Love the embedded butterfly technique. I can see that used on greeting cards and scrapbooks and for your beloved journals.
    I will be watching tomorrow. I cannot wait to see what you do next with the Brother scanncut.
    Hope you had a Happy 4th of July.
