New Tim Holtz Distress: Carved Pumpkin

DSC_8230

Check it out – Carved Pumpkin in the house! I created a video (link to YouTube) to show you some coloring fun and play with this newest color. I simply framed up the image onto kraft cardstock for my card – got to love simplicity for such a great image!

The blueprint stamp is from Tim Holtz as well – one of my favorites!

Spooky easy stamped card with ScanNCut2

As always, I start my ScanNCut post with the disclaimer that I do work with Brother, and they did provide me with the machine I use. However, all ideas and opinions are mine alone. Now let’s get to the fun stuff because this is AWESOME FUN!

Before I get going this does actually work with ANY ScanNCut model, but you may find that the original machine (vs 2) requires a bit of extra help along the way such as thickening your exterior stamp line. But welding and creating something like this? All ScanNCut machines can! Hooray!

For this card I scanned the stamp but didn’t cut it out. Then welded a circle to the left, then cut it out. So easy, and once done a quick swirl of color, some extra black ink, a bit of sparkle mist, and a few words had my card ready to go out and haunt someone.

For those of you with ScanNCut machines I know you’ll wanna see the exact how-to. So check out the video I uploaded today here: link to YouTube

I’m off to haunt some more new ideas and scare up some fun…

Looking for your own ScanNCut2? I use the 650w model, which is exclusively available at Brother dealers. Also available (and that has same functions in general as my machine) is the 350 – aka the other SNC2 model. You can find that all over the place including (affiliate link) Amazon.
