Brother ScanNCut Card Files by Beth - FREE - FREE - FREE

Did you miss my FREE Brother ScanNCut Card File?

I AM BACK with a tutorial line of card layouts.

Do you have the Brother ScanNCut that you purchased to cut shapes and designs to create cards? I purchased my first BSNC maching in 2017 to save money on metal dies for cardmaking. I used it for cutting around stamped images instead of fussy cutting shapes. I then learned how to create layers for punches and my stamp images. Click HERE for information on creating your own faux dies.

I have not been able to spend the time I use to creating cards due to chronic back pain brought on by Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. Do you realize how much twisting you do in your craft studio? It begins by selecting cardstock and pattern paper from your massive inventory, selecting your stamp sets, pulling out ink pads, cardmaking dies, cranking out die cuts with your Big Shot, grabbing your sentiment punches, stamp, glue and finally finishing up with embellishments. Since I couldn't do all of this, I decided to make better use of my BSNC machine. I watched hundreds of  YouTube visits and connected the dots to create files for various card layouts and fun folds. I basically have an unpaid full-time job as a CanvasWorkspace Content Creator.

We all know about the high cost of dies, particularly from my favorite card supply company. One die for $37? I will be offering cut files to save you time and money, I cut the cardstock for you, no more measuring and cutting!

Craftroom Storage Solution - DIY 6” x 6” Magazine Holder Die for under $5.00

Where can you purchase a die for under $5.00?

Isn't that the reason you purchased a Brother ScanNCut? To save money on dies!

If you have a Brother ScanNCut (BSNC) and aren’t afraid to use it, it opens a whole new world of card making. You’ve seen my posts about my Crafts By Beth Faux Die Tutorial. With the high price of EVERYTHING, a purchase of a Brother ScanNCut machine is a wise investment. 

I purchased my BSNC machine CM250 in 2019 and it sat on my table for a year. I taught myself how to use it following many YouTube videos, and yet it sat mostly unused for another few years. I now have time and I’m putting it to good use and creating faux dies without the cost of individual sets of dies, which cost over $35 each. I LOVE Stampin’ Up! products: stamps, ink, cardstock and their new Designer Series Paper. My affliate for BSNC

Maybe it’s time for you to make the investment. Watch a few videos on the basics and purchase my tutorial for less than the cost of one die set. You will have all the steps you need to create your own dies. 

My first Brother ScanNCut file (fcm format) is now available…Designer Series 6” x 6” Magazine Holder.  No measuring, cutting…all you have to do is upload the file into your BSNC machine, place an 12” x 12” (or use two 8 1/2” x 11”) piece of cardstock on your mat and press cut . Scoring is easy, just apply glue and you’re set. For long lasting durability use a thicker piece of cardstock than DSP. 

How to purchase only the Designer Series 6” x 6” Magazine Holder.  The file is available for $4.99, click the Buy Now button below. I AM NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE AN SVG FILE. You may be able to find a free converter online, try finding before you buy.
