We often get asked, “What do I need to buy for my ScanNCut?” Instead of giving a list each time we get asked, I thought a blog post would be more useful. We’ve also updated this for the new products on the market that have replaced some of our older […]

Go Create is aimed at crafters, scrapbookers and anyone who owns a digital cutter ranging from Brothers ScanNCut through to a Cricut Maker. We also cover the software you might be using as well some alternatives you might not of thought of.
The post below was originally shared on our old blog, but it has a particular resonance for me at the moment. Someone very dear to me is going through hell, a hell which I know well.

This project has been designed to use any topper pad/sentiment and co-ordinating pad, and can be used for many different occasions. It is a great card for mailing as it folds more or less flat while giving a great depth when removed from its packaging. The pattern foiling technique can lift even the simplest printed design to luxury paper.
For those of you who have seen Kylie Bertucci and her #loveitchopit method, you may find it doesn't necessarily work for our type of crafting.

Instead, I wanted to adapt an easy approach that ScanNCut users could use (along with other electronic cutters); thus came #loveitchopitSNC to our blog and magazine.
Graphitint pencils (by Derwent) are amongst my favourites in my collection as they are so versatile for sketching both in the studio and outside. They are really great pencils for urban sketching and painting due to their colour palette. So when I saw the ColourTint (by Spectrum Noir) pencils I thought these might be a good substitute for lower budgets.
