Cinderella Bookmark

It’s no secret that I LOVE these new Disney cut files from Brother ScanNCut! Available now through Brother dealers (you can search online for a local one and/or one who will take an online or phone order) – they’re just a blast. I especially am loving the bookmark files. There are two parts – you can cut them out of the same paper or I cut out of different papers so I could play with inks and fun techniques!

This really is quick & easy – perfect to tuck into a book to gift the princess in your life! Here is my YouTube tutorial. 

I used watercolor, ink, glossy gel, and just had such fun. I am thinking about doing a vinyl sticker of the parts of Cinderella that are ‘cut out’ – I’ll be sure to share the results if it works out as I hope!

Thanks for checking this project out – stay tuned for more! As always I do share with you that I am a paid consultant for Brother, but all ideas and opinions shared here are my own. Thanks for checking out my project and tuning in!

ScanNCut: glitter treat!

Ladies and gents – I am in love. As you may know I work with Brother as a ScanNCut brand ambassador (all ideas & opinions are my own always!) – well I’ve known for a while some magical cut files were coming. Disney Princesses, to be exact! The lovely ladies are available now through Brother dealers. You can do an online search to find one near you (or one that will ship) – and I am SO happy to be able to share project ideas with you!

My first project here is a Rapunzel design that I just love. There is SO much intricate detail! Here is my tutorial video where I show and explain how I cut her out.

Once you’ve got the files activated on Canvas and onto your machine – you just cut them out! These files can’t be edited directly – but as they stand the sizes are great for a number of projects!

I believe the intention for this one was stationary – but I saw it as a really sweet Halloween treat bag for a lovely little girl I know. Once ironed onto the bag that I purchased at a local craft store I added some hand sewn buttons & thread and oh. I LOVE how this turned out!

I intend to use the other princess files in some ways that perhaps wouldn’t be expected in the near future – so stay tuned! Scrapbooking to gift wrap – I’ve got ideas for these designs and thoughts as to how to have a lot of fun personalizing them as well.

I am glad my local sewing shop (and Brother dealer!) has a wide variety of iron-on glitter material because I’ve got to tell you – I’m addicted to sheets of this stuff! I just adore ironing on glittered shapes to things. I think I’ll always be a princess at heart.

“Up to no good” Shaker Shadow Box with the ScanNCut

I was in the craft store and I saw a lot of shadow boxes like the one you see above. They had pre-printed sentiments and were fairly common and bland. I thought to myself… if I could find a plain one I could use craft vinyl to rock something extra fun!

usual disclaimer that I am a paid consultant for Brother, however all ideas and opinions expressed are as always – my own. 

When I got home with my plain shadow box I went looking for a photo of my eldest daughter to display. Before I knew it I found a photo of her from our vacation last December that was perfect in color, size, and style for something extra fun!

All ideas & opinions here (and always) are my own – this is just such a great company and machine it truly is my pleasure to work with them.
