[@susanknouse7904]

You are totally awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@PaperedChef]

Susan, so I take it you liked the video. Thanks for watching. I am glad you liked it. I had several other Valentine's Day crafty videos on my channel so you can check them out too.

[@sheilasminicreations]

I just git a scan n cut machine. And I am learning so much from you. I love your channel. I also sent a request to join your group on FB. Thanks for sharing.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Sheila, I just approved you to our group. You can share ScanNCut projects there and participate. Feel free to ask questions. Everyone is helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@kathyhart5105]

I have so many crafting things going on that I dont have time to use my scanNcut like I would like to. I truly enjoy your videos. Each video I tell myself "Im going to make that" but I dont. I just need to jump in with both feet and purchase some of your products and make a few things. You do a wonderful job of explaining and teaching.

[@PaperedChef]

Kathy, the best way to learn is by following along. You can watch the videos and pause to try it. I think of my sessions as a way of investing time. Because of all of the time I spend on experimentation, I save time in the long run by not having to use the paper trimmer or fussy cut.

[@deborahcurtis98]

You are a master on this machine. Amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so expertly.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Deborah! This makes me happy. I love to poke around and figure out things on the machine. I also love to share!

[@suebusch7599]

Thank you for the great video! I always learn something new --with every video!

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Sue. I love to hear that you are learning new things. I try to always start at the beginning and also to add new project ideas for those of you who have been around for a while.

[@bonnie4526]

This video was very helpful! Thank you for sharing

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Bonnie, I’m glad I could help. I like to share whatever I’m working on at the time so that my examples are practical.

[@debrapost3911]

Thank you, another amazing video with lots of tips and tricks. I wish I lived closer to you to craft together! Thank you for all your time you put into these videos. You do all the hard work first to make it easy for us. Thank you

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Debra! I feel like you are crafting right along with me. Thanks for acknowledging the time it takes. I love ❤️ sharing.

[@gailfort-cathey495]

Love your valentine and shower treats! So cute!! Thanks for this tutorial.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Gail! I’m glad you like my latest round of projects. I’m happy to share.

[@barbarafuller1122]

Love your creations...beautiful...and love the tutorial on the difference between Direct Cut and Scan to Cut Data...great to learn something new...thank you for sharing another fantastic lesson :)

[@PaperedChef]

Hi Barbara, I'm glad you are learning new techniques even after all of my tutorials you have watched. Thanks for your comment. I always like to change things up based on the projects I'm working on at the time. Still creating Valentine's Crafts.

[@barbarafuller1122]

@@PaperedChef and Kimberly they are adorable too :)

[@backyardstamper]

GREAT video Kim! I have saved an image and then when I added say a dozen, they all landed on top of each other. not knowing what I did wrong, I manually moved each one. you showing me the button today was fantastic!!! (you probably showed that before and I didn't pay attention!) I have the CM 350 but I am assuming that machine has the same feature to separate them so thank you again very much!!! your tips and tricks really do save time! I loved your projects too - especially the showered with love tins

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Kathy, the Auto Align is such a time saver and the funny thing was when I did it earlier, it didn’t fit as many umbrellas. Still, it does a great job and if you don’t care about the orientation of your shapes, it will fit even more.

[@andrealazar9806]

Great tutorial. Much appreciated ❤️❤️❤️

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks, I love to use all of the tools at my disposal to create layered crafts. So much fun.

[@beckymoore6566]

Great tutorial. I'm glad I found your videos today. How do you get your mat to stay sticky when it looks so well used?

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Becky. I definitely have to restick often. I have a couple of videos on this topic of resticking your mat and a recent video on maintenance. This video should help. studio.kzbin.info58jX5JKEgzk/edit

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Kimberly, I love how you show us how to use different parts of the machine, this would have been very helpful last week, but now I can give this an other go, TFS, Cheers Anna.

[@PaperedChef]

Anna, it is never too late to try it, even if you needed this skill a week ago. I am always figuring out new ways to use the ScanNCut. Thanks for your comment.

[@nolaventura6747]

On the Beehive update I noticed your red finger tips on your right hand. I figured you must be busy with your Valentine's projects (LOL)! I was sort of lost about the heart punches as I don't have them yet so didn't know the one made a border when they cut out the stamped image.

[@PaperedChef]

I’m totally cracking up because when I just looked down at my hands, they looked bloody from all of the red ink. I also didn’t know about the border until I tried using the punch. That is what sparked my inspiration to do this video and compare methods. I already had the umbrellas dove when I made that discovery. Thanks for watching.

[@Cards4Cancer]

I throughly enjoy your tutorials, I was wondering if you have tried the quill pen to put foil on your projects. Then that fill button really matters because it will fill in your little shapes with foil, verses just drawing a foil shape. Truly thank you for all you do.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Karla, I haven’t used the foiling accessories. Every time I turn around, there’s another application or other way we can do something else. It’s hard to keep up. I recently purchased the Calligraphy kit and didn’t receive it yet. Foiling is in the distant future for me because I don’t think I would use it that much.

[@ingridellis8237]

I have been playing with the direct cut and scan to cut data for 2 days but I learned some more today thank you. I have that paper but I just want to look at it and not use it lol.

[@PaperedChef]

I’m also a paper hoarder but it feels great to give out treats too so do share some ❤️. Thanks for your comment. I’m glad your are learning new things after all of my tutorials you’ve watched.

[@cherylwells1266]

Wonderful treat gifts, and love all of your tutorials - simply amazing - thank you!!!!

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Cheryl, I love ❤️ giving out treats and having a variety of fun embellishments to decorate with makes my day. Glad you are watching.

[@CFillers21]

I would like a simple black line cut out video

[@saraberkner]

What size is the dip that the heart goes on? I love the idea.

[@ellenhofer3343]

Will you do a video for the SNC2 & SNC?

[@PaperedChef]

I will not be repeating this particular video with another model but my next video is using the CM350 or ScanNCut 2. I have faith in my viewers that you can apply what you learn to other models of machine. Thanks for watching.

[@vinematzke8422]

Question....the sheet of paper with all the big “foil” hearts, can I do a direct cut to cut each of those hearts out?

[@PaperedChef]

The paper is From my Heart. It is retired now. I have the punches but yes, you can cut any patterns out with the ScanNCut as long as there are clear areas behind them. Check my PlayLists for the topic of Cutting Patterned Paper with the ScanNCut.

[@carmenbyrne4088]

Hi papered chef, I ve got a design and cut mat, will it work on my Scan and cut 1000 please? Thankyou

[@PaperedChef]

Carmen, the mats in the ScanNCut would work if you are using a CM model but not if you are using an SDX model. The CM mats are different than the DX mats. You have to see DX in the name of the item when you purchase it. Here is a link. SDX125 Standard Tack Adhesive Mat: amzn.to/2KWWEwB

[@sheilarogers2608]

Can I do this same thing with CM machine?

[@PaperedChef]

Oh yes! You can do this with the CM models in the same way. I explained in the video the one think you can’t do towards the end. Check out my channel for loads of CM350 tutorials.

[@tammyyoak9108]

I just got my scanNCut sdx125 it has message saying the feeder lever is released. Lock the feeder release lever any suggestion

[@PaperedChef]

It is something that commonly happens. Try locking the feeder which is an easy fix. Restart your machine and then if nothing seems to work, call Brother Tech Support. They can help with these issues. Sorry, my machine didn’t work right away either but now it rocks.

[@tammyyoak9108]

@@PaperedChef thanks I tried that so I need to get ahold of brother on Monday

[@KathyM1922]

I have tried all these techniques and none of them are working for me, I printed out a 11x17 pic and I can't seem to get the size to cut out right.. lost so much paper! What am I doing wrong? Help..

[@PaperedChef]

You may want to use the Image Tracing feature inside of Canvas Workspace. I’m also not able to scan anything larger than 12 by 12 with my CM350 even though I have a 12 by 24 cutting mat for it.
