[@joysworld78]

Thank you for being so clear. It makes it so easy to understand

[@LyndaCarpenter2015]

Leo, you are #1 in educational videos! I learned so much watching this and I thank you for taking the time to do them and make them available to us! You are a wealth of knowledge!

[@nadinelopes4789]

Thank you Leo, I need to play with sure cuts a lot.

[@Heatherban300]

Thank you Leo for another wonderful tutorial. I keep learning so much from you.

[@AbbyAvon]

I don't have this machine, but I have a silhouette portrait. I'm going to see how I can do this on that machine. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@roxanneloyst3733]

Thank you. Great tutorial my first on SCAL 5.

[@KK64]

@Dreaming Tree Thank you for taking time to do this video! I think i might have to look into getting SCAL5, as i detest DS for designing, it is just so limited, and so many important tools are missing eg: shadow layer!

[@rdecook651]

you will not regret getting SCAL. And I agree that DS is not "user friendly". I just stay away from DS, unless there is a design there that I can't find at DT. I have a Scan N Cut and absolutely love it.

Wow you make scal look a lot easier, I have it on my wishlist to purchase, I've played with demo but didn't feel too confident, but you make it look easy

[@gaylewest9349]

LOVE this! Awesome tutorial, I can't wait to create cards like this!

[@skwc53]

I am new to Sure Cuts a Lot 5 so these videos REALLY help. Thanks for sharing

[@mardellgrayhek9958]

This is just what I was looking for! Thank you Leo

[@craftingqueen7596]

Hi, new to your channel...I was looking for something else (for Brother ScanNcut) & when searching your video was 1st. I remember hearing about SCAL from ScanNCut Jam Sessions channel, but I never knew what she was referring to (even though she’s great & I’m in her FB group). NOW, I see Scal means Sure Cuts a Lot & it’s an additional program that I must purchase?! 😍 Thank you for this tutorial! 😊 New subscriber, here!

[@gradalamb704]

I love these videos keep them coming. I have the software but I need to learn a lot more about it. I am a visual learner so this really works for me. Thank you dreaming tree.

I watched this video last night and made a similar card today. This was my first time using SCAL5. I had the first version years ago and used it with my Cricut Expression. Now I have a SNC DX125. Everything worked as planned on my screen and I saved the file as a fcm file on my USB stick to transfer to my SNC. My card turned out about 1-1/4” smaller than on my screen even after I had carefully set my mat size to11.65”x11.73” as marked on my SNC set up screen. Also, my card was sliced in half along my dash lines I had created as a fold line. Maybe I chose ones that were too close together? Is there a place where I can tell SCAL5 to export at 96dpi to correct my size discrepancy? Sorry for the long saga...🤣 You are a very well spoken and patient teacher.

[@tipidweller]

This looks like something I could do in Adobe Illustrator and save it as an SVG. I don't need any more cutting software.

[@deniseobermeyer8682]

I am very New to Sure Cuts a lot 5. Thank you it was very informative and helpful.

[@jennifercarolan9659]

Agree great tutorial. Can you please do an envelope that would go with it and can be adjusted to the card size.

Thank you very much for this tutorial

[@paintingchick]

Thanks Leo! Great video.

[@annettewornin7683]

Brilliant tutorial as usual thankyou

[@craftylady]

Great tutorial am starting to love this program

[@janetmenchyk6218]

I don’t see my question here so going to try again. Really like tutorial going to do it. My question is I made a sign with a octagon outline by making 2 and removing the smaller one from the larger one so it would just be a outline. But when taking it to DS it only came in as a solid black octagon, what did I do or not do?

[@Tlazoetl]

Can you use this on the Silhouette Cameo business edition? thanks.

[@janetmenchyk6218]

Great tutorial. Want to try that. I did make a sign and put a octagon around it cutting it with a smaller one so it was just a outline, but it came into ds as all black outline was gone what did I do wrong? Or or not do?

[@JNJBryant]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I do have one question. The score line you placed on the card....is that going to actually cut, or is that a score line I can use my scoring tool for? Thanks so much!

[@photofare]

For some reason when I use the selection tool I see a little square perforated box that follows it. Then I cannot select the object to path. What am I doing wrong? I was able to get around the problem by simplifying the line and then erasing. But would still like to know how to get rid of that perforated box. Thank you in advance.

[@estherestacio68]

Dear Friend, I have a concern: In this program you can make boxes or shaker boxes with different filler digital papers, as is done in Silhouette Studio ?. Because believe me I have not seen a single tutorial of those incredible boxes in Scal and it is really a shame, because I bought this program to do that and cut it in my knk zing and to this day nothing at all. I hope Leo can help me with this concern.

[@suek957]

Thank you Dreaming Tree for your great tutorial. I am brand new to SCAL. I got to the part where you erase the dotted line, but can’t get the eraser to erase. What do I need to do to make it work?

[@lesleydickson7746]

Did you do the step where Mike changed the line from an Object?

[@dianewilliams7866]

Hi Mike I have been following along with this vid. I have got to the part of highlighting the score line to do Object to Path but it wont do OTP. What am I doing wrong

[@jocelynscott9009]

Great tutorial thanks

[@lizziewhizz2307]

Enjoyed this tutorial, I will probably get Sure Cuts A lot 5, as I have a Cricut and looks a great program. Can I please ask, why didn't you change the cut lines to score lines for the card before you sent it to make it? I get confused, I'm never sure if I should select score or leave it as cut? My worry is that I think it will cut the score lines, will it do that?

[@3dsvg]

Hi Lizzie. If you are using perforated score lines such as these you can just leave them as cut. If you have a score tool or score wheel you could change them to score if you prefer.

[@lizziewhizz2307]

@@3dsvg Thank you very much, that now makes sense to me? I have just got my Cricut, so all this is new to me. I thought it would cut through the card and not perforate the score lines. Thank you for clearing this up for me.

[@spiters81]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@derbysugar22]

Some of my features are not working 😕 like they are not highlighted...please help

[@3dsvg]

Ensure you have the elements selected before using the tools or effects. That is a common mistake made. Hope this helps. :)

[@darlenetimmons6919]

I am to the part in the tutorial where you go to path back minus front I can not do this part it is gray and won't let me do anything I have sure cuts A lot 5 what do I need to do?

[@lesleydickson7746]

Did you have both the shapes selected?

[@LyndaCarpenter2015]

Darlene, I kept having the same problem and found that there was a little mark somewhere that was making 3 objects instead of the 2 that you need to "minus". Look in your layers box and if you can't readily see the extra layer, click each one and make sure it is supposed to be there. Delete the extra.. I hope this helps.. it was the problem I was having but it may not be the same for your issue..

[@vimlagovender8076]

Hi Leo in Brother, I don't have an effects button where I can make a shadow cut. How do I do this thanks.

[@3dsvg]

Which version are you running?

[@vimlagovender8076]

Leo it is a DX1200 Brother scanNcut machine. I think it was the V4.2 not sure how to find this information. thanks.
