Today we will be highlighting the Brother’s ScanNCut verse dies. Both are an investment. I have had my Brother’s ScanNCut machine for many years; it was a birthday gift. I wanted a Brother’s ScanNCut machine, so I could stop buying the dies. The dies that come with stamps set can be really pricey.

Let us take a look at the Brother’s Scan and Cut first. The model I own is two years old, and the cost was two hundred dollars. The new ScanNCut DX cost three hundred and forty-nine dollars. My model and the new model have the same features with a few upgrades. Both can scan, cut, draw and emboss. How the ScanNCut works is you stamp your image, and then you run it through the machine.

Here is how it looks after it has scanned and cut it.   

     Die-cutting is where thin materials are cut into shapes using a die. The die-cutting machine I use is the Big Shot. The Big Shot costs around a hundred dollars, and the only other price will be for the dies themselves which, costs five to twenty dollars. There are two types of dies that you can buy steel rule dies and wafer-thin dies. Steel dies are thick and cumbersome. Wafer-thin dies are thin, small, and lightweight. They are three types of wafer dies, stand-alone, coordinating, nesting, shape, 3-D, cover, and layering dies.
