Transfering Cutting Dies to ScanNCut

thank you for explaining it so well!

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!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, and I am excited to know the resizing of die images and saving to machine.

Very helpful! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this, great to know

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!!!

Absolutely fantastic, I have had my Scan NCut for 5 years and was afraid to use it.

Thank you. Great information

How do I separate these once they are scanned into the machine. Say I only wanted the rectangle cut and not the others?

Very informative video; Thank You Paula.

Thank you. Love the fact that you can scan your die cuts and make multiples, and even change the size.

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

Very well explained,thank you

Thank you. It was very helpful

Thank you Paula, I have dozens of dies, butI never thought to do this! Brilliant!

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?.

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.

Love this. Thank you.

This is great information. I have lots of dies too. Will be getting a scan n cut soon and this will be one of the first things I try.
Thank you!

I’m so happy that your channel was recommended to me. Awesome tutorial!

I am so thankful you took the time to do this video! Thank you! Job well done!

Thank you. Your explanation of using the scan and cut was great. You clarified some issues for me I just wasn't understanding.

Thank you for your tutorials x

Thank you for this it is very helpful.

Appreciate your sharing this information! So helpful!

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.

Great video…straightforward which makes it easier to follow.

This was very helpful

Thankyou Paula,that was great! I’m now subscribed to your channel xx

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.

Awesome video! I love that I can get more use out of my metal dies this way!

Fantastic and informative video. TY :)

Such a great tutorial. Your directions and explanations are so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.

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.

This was so helpful and will broaden my collection of dies by resizing. I am new to scan n cut , just purchased my machine so this was an Excellent tutorial and from today on I will follow your channel. You are a great instructor.😊😊

You explained so well ,easy to understand .thank you very much. I will try it.

Very helpful video. Thank you for the tutorial 💜

Thank you great tips x

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!

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. ❤️

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).

Fantastic! Makes cardmakjng so much easier. I have a bunch of dies!

I am a Chinese fan from you. I like your tutorial very much. Can I send you some molds for free?

Fantastic tutorial!!!! I love your channel content....you are a lifesaver! Thanks and keep the tutorials coming 💗

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. 🌵🦋💖

You didn't cut it to show the final product?

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! 😊

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?

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. Lots of useful information

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.
