Compare Silhouette, Cricut, and Brother Scan N Cut

Friday Night Scrapbooking with Lauren Hinds

Tonight I have been asked to join Lauren on her YouTube Channel to give a demo of the Cricut Joy and the Brother Scan N Cut! I am so excited to work with Lauren and her friend Carey. Lauren plans to show the Silhouette while Carey will show the Cricut Maker. This should be so much fun. Here’s a link to that YouTube video!

Lauren is a wonderful scrapbooker that enjoys showing new folks how to scrapbook using Creative Memories. So the beginning of the video will include her weekly updates on Creative Memories. Then our demonstrations will begin!

Cricut Joy Card Insert

As I learned to use my Cricut Joy, I found these tips very useful:

Search for “FREE JOY” if you are not a Cricut Access member
Check the size of any image, for an A2 card, you need 4″x 5.25″
Be sure to change Operation to “Pen” for writing

My Cricut Joy performed a quick update before I could use it

My first attempt was the smallest size, not A2

On my second attempt, the words were too wide, so it turned them sideways so they fit!

Finally, on the third attempt, it all came together!

Brother Scan N Cut

Lauren sent the digital designs to myself and Carey. We printed on our 8.5″x11″ printers using Portrait settings. Then we used our electronic cutters to cut out the images. This set from Creative Memories is too cute!
