I love creating video tutorials that give people those "aha" moments. Oftentimes it's a really simple idea, but a good one. Today I've got two short videos that I think meet that criteria perfectly — simple ideas that really make a difference.
First up: storing your clear stamps.
I buy empty CD cases all the time and recently, I discovered that you can buy them without the CD tray! Cheaper and better!
Next up: understanding how to set blade depth.
I've cut through my mat. You've probably cut through your mat too. It's all part of the trial and error of learning how the ScanNCut works. However, now that I have done all of that trial and error and understand blade depth, I want to pass that information on to you so that your learning curve is much shorter than mine was! Watch the video for all the info:
I hope that was helpful! Most people have an aha moment when they actually see the blades and understand how the ScanNCut cutting works.
Thanks for stopping by!

Great tips! I cut up my mat last week making foam stamps. Now I will know better. Thanks.

Oh my gosh! What a doah moment. I always wondered how to know where to start with blade depth. Knock on wood, I’ve not cut a mat — yet. But this helped a lot. Thank you.

Hi Julie,
Thank you for this information. I too have tried what you are suggesting here and it is the thing to do when you are really not sure about the blade depth. I too have cut through my mats both standard and midtack mats in the past.I am still learning the pressure part.
When I do I get out the old duck tape and tape up the back.
I have purchase some shinky dink material and have been cutting out designs and making earrings and brooches. I made a set of Doxie doggy earrings for my daughter. They came out pretty good for my first time using shrinky dink. I did have to play around with the setting and the pressure.
Thank you again oh also great idea on the stamp cases. I have only made foam stamps and just keep them in a box.
Have a great day,
Fawna
