A happy early Mother's Day to you!

MewithCard-wm
Using the built-in editing functions of your ScanNCut, it's super easy to take almost any cut file — symmetrical or not — and turn it into a card base.  I used a flower shape to create a super cute Mother's Day card. Watch the video for the how-to: 

Here are the basic steps:

Choose your cut file.

1-chooseflower
Resize it so that it's slightly wider than 6 inches.

2-resizeflower
Increase the number of flowers to 2:

3-increasenumber
Align the two flowers and then flip one of them.

4-alignflip
And last but not least, weld your design.

5-Weld
As you can see, it's a very simple process for a totally custom result!

And look how much changing the paper changes the card!

I showed you how to use a flower to create a super cute Mother's Day card, but you could use almost any shape! Try it with hearts for Valentine's Day, balloons for a birthday, a pumpkin for Halloween, eggs for Easter, etc.  I hope you'll give this project a try!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Thanks so much Julie! I got this video yesterday and immediately made 6. It was just what I needed for Mother’s day cards for my daycare clients! Most of the children are home during this shelter in place so I can’t have them make cards. I just wanted to recognize the moms and this worked out so well. Perfect timing!
