Hi this is Maria. Today we’re making an easy card, and using my ScanNCut to cut the shapes out for us! The Little Monkey stamp set has a punch available, but no dies. I’m going to show you how I use my ScanNCut to quickly cut out my stamped images. We’ll also make a shadow for a punched out piece. This is so helpful for layering shapes! If you don’t have a cutting machine, don’t stress. Simply cut out the images by hand or “fussy cut” them out.
NOTE: I do not sell ScanNCut. I simply have one and love to use it!
Craft with me!

- Fussy cut the remaining stamped images or use the ScanNCut to cut them for you. (See video for more details).
- Use Water Color Pencils to shade in the monkey, branch and leaves. Smooth the coloring lines with a Blender Pen.
- Use liquid glue to attach the Garden Green and Earthen Elegance layers to the card front.
