In this video tutorial, I will show you how to put images into letters. You will learn how to cut photos using the Brother ScanNCut. This technique is very useful for creating shadow boxes or scrap book layouts. I'm joined today by my friend Rita who went on a trip to Italy. She printed out several of her photos and plans on making a shadow box using photos, tickets to events, brochures and other memorabilia from her trip to Italy. First, we used the Pattern option to add a letter from built in fonts using the Pattern option. For this project, we used the first alphabet set because the letters are wide and good for cropping images with. Next, we resized the height of each image. It's important for all of the letters to be the same height. The width will resize proportionately. One I resized the letter and added it to the screen, we then attached a photo onto the mat using Painter's tape and scanned the image in as a background. Next, Rita placed the letter over the part of the image she wanted to cut out. The red outline of the image is used as a guide to show you where to place it. Then, we cut out the letter T. We used a blade depth of 5 and the default pressure and speed settings. As a review and to finish the word "Italy" we cut out part of a bridge picture using the letter I. Please visit my blog for more crafty inspiration and to see final images of the shadow box Rita completes.
