step 1.

When giving scrapbooks as gifts, it’s always nice to decorate the cover. It makes a great coffee table book! This 8" x 8" album is perfect for the couple who wants to print out their favorite photos to slip inside (and maybe even do a little journaling).

Open up ScanNCutCanvas and create your pattern either by using the

“Rhinestone” function with the existing patterns, or by tracing an image and

then using the “Rhinestone Wizard” function (located under “Edit”) to create

the rhinestone pattern.

step 2.

step 3.

Before you cut out your design, be sure to do a test cut of the template sheet.

You want to be able to cut through the template sheet, but not the backing. I have

my blade set to “5” and the pressure at “0” (but your blade may need a different

adjustment).

Cut out the pattern.

step 4. Once it has finished cutting, remove the backing from the template sheet by

pulling it off quickly.

step 7.

If you notice any holes that didn’t pop off of the template sheet when you

removed it from the backing, then remove them now.

Place the backing board into the box lid with the shiny side facing up. Press the

template sheet onto the backing board and smooth it out.

Pour the rhinestones on top of the pattern and use the brush in a circular motion to

brush them into place.

To place rhinestones individually, use the pick-up tool to position them.

step 9.

Apply the transfer sheet to the top of the rhinestones and lift it off carefully.

Place the transfer paper onto your scrapbook cover and then cover it with a

pressing cloth. Iron in one place for between 45 and 60 seconds, or until all of the

rhinestones have been adhered.
