Brother ScanNCut - Winter Projects

Learn to design and assemble a twenty five box countdown calendar with perforated lines, using canvas workspace to lay out vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines, and create Hershey Nugget wrappers.

Change the artboard settings to switch grid spacing from one inch to a quarter inch. Enable snap to grid and set increments to quarter inch.

Rename, lock, group, and duplicate layers; toggle visibility, reorder layers, and snap lines to a quarter-inch grid to create precise vertical and horizontal lines for the box in Brother ScanNCut.

Create and transform diagonal lines with rotate, flip horizontal, and flip vertical, snapping to a grid with precise angles; duplicate and group lines in layers, and save early and often.

Learn to convert cutting lines into score lines for the box by unlocking layers, choosing dash patterns, and scoring diagonal, horizontal, and vertical lines, then group lines for efficiency.

Create a layout to cut six boxes simultaneously and design Hershey nugget wrappers, using grouping, duplicate fill, snap to grid, quarter inch spacing, and 90-degree rotations for efficient mat usage.

Retrieve the file from canvas workspace and prepare the countdown calendar shapes using the machine's built-in air dash k016 shape, then orient paper for cutting.

Retrieve the last canvas workspace file from the cloud and cut the box and nugget wrapper patterns, orienting paper for display. Number with stickers or vinyl, and test blade depth.

Learn to assemble the treat boxes, wrap Hershey nuggets with rolling adhesive, and attach numbered tags. Explore fitting candies inside and customizing boxes as a countdown calendar.

Learn to use Template Maker to design customizable boxes and 3D paper crafts, optimize layouts for 12x12 sheets, and create match boxes and Starship Bakkt ornaments.

Create a custom matchbox using template maker by adjusting length, width, height, and clearance in inches, then export an SVG to import into canvas workspace for scorelines and cutting.

Import the matchbox svg into canvas workspace, adjust the dashed scorelines, and learn to group and manage layers to create two boxes on a 12 by 12 mat.

Learn to add shapes for layered back designs, resize precisely, duplicate and align them, and export a cutting file for the Brother ScanNCut.

Learn to assemble match boxes by adjusting scorelines and clearance, mix card stock with designer paper for sturdier boxes, and secure folds with glue or tape.

Learn to create a star box with Template Maker, set a 12 by 12 mat, 2-inch units, outer diameter 6.25 inches, height 1.75 inches, and a hole for paper ornament.

Learn how to import a design, manage and group layers, adjust dash patterns for stronger scorelines, and control visibility to keep the star box file organized for the scanNCut workflow.

Learn to create star shapes from built-in shapes for an ornament, resize to three inches, duplicate for embellishments, then export and transfer the cutting file to your machine.

Assemble a paper star box ornament from leftover designer series paper, fold scorelines, pinch the sides, glue two sides, thread a ribbon, and place candy inside with embellishments.

Cut patterned paper to embellish star boxes by loading the mat, scanning a 12 by 6 area in black-and-white, and directly cutting deer patterns while ignoring snowflakes.

Explore completing template maker projects by creating decorative boxes and the paper start ornaments, then embellish with stamp sets, mixed papers, twine, and ribbon to customize and string your winter designs.

Learn to import and customize winter projects in Canvas workspace, including snowflake tags, by accessing pattern collections, organizing parts into layers, and resizing, grouping, and saving your designs.

Learn to use outward offset lines to create a three-layer snowflake tag, divide shapes to form holes, color and arrange layers, and prepare for cutting and assembly.

Retrieve your canvas workspace file wirelessly and cut a layered snowflake using auto layout on brushed metallic card stock; position papers and apply painter's tape for secure cutting.

Learn to assemble layered snowflake tags, move mats to avoid scratches, and apply clear tacky or Tombo glue, add foam strips for dimension, ribbons, and personalization.

Learn to personalize a jar with vinyl using script fonts from dafont.com, download and install the font for use in canvas workspace, and note personal vs commercial licenses.

Learn to download, extract, and install a font by using a zip extractor (Seven Zip or similar), preview the OTF font, and restart canvas workspace to load the new font.

Personalize a jar by choosing a font in the text tool, then weld the letters into one vinyl shape using process overlap, and use divide for a clean cut.

Create a vinyl snowflake for a jar lid by selecting a pattern, resizing to about 2.5 by 3 inches, cutting with half-cut, then weeding and applying.

Decorate a personalized jar with a light-up coaster, LED lights, pine cones, sprigs, candy, and a winter scene, then finish with a bow and jingle bell for a holiday gift.

Explore the final winter projects in the Brother ScanNCut course, including advent calendars, matchbook boxes, star ornaments, and vinyl transfers using templates and glitter ribbons.
