- Universal Pen Holder Tool: amzn.to/2I8O3o5
In this tutorial, you will learn how to personalize envelopes using the Brother ScanNCut CM350, the Scan and Cut SDX125 and the Universal Pen Holder tool. Stampin' Up! has the perfect markers to use with this tool because they fit into the holder perfectly. The Universal Pen Holder comes with a stand which is used for setting up your markers each time you draw. You will learn how to adjust your Stampin' Write Markers by Stampin' Up! so that they are the correct height for drawing. In this tutorial, we use the built in fonts to personalize envelopes using several colors of Stampin' Write Markers which coordinate with the cards which will go inside of the envelopes. The main built in font used to personalize the envelopes is FO-0003. This tutorial is full of extra tips like how to change your outline to a solid fill pattern, how to use the Background Scan or Background Scanning feature and how to load and unload your Universal Pen Holder. I also give you a sneak peek of projects from my upcoming course: Brother ScanNCut - Working with Fonts.

I’m telling you, Brother needs to put you on their payroll!! You, by far outdo the other Brother videos I’ve tried to watch. Let alone learn from them.
Except for Tech Support, I don't think Brother even knows I exist. I'm glad YOU know I exist and that you are watching. Thanks.
ALL THE TIME
Agreed. I wish it had been Papered Chef that taught me how to unbox and use the basics of the machine. There is so much more to know about the machine than they teach you in the authorized dealer store.
@@mrscms831 I can pretty much guarantee that I use the machine more than most authorized dealers. Thanks for your support and for watching my tutorials. I love to teach.
@@mrscms831 Thanks for you vote of confidence. Keep on watching and you will be an expert in no time.
Thank you Kim for this again, awesome tutorial. You are beyond talented, so detailed in your teaching, kind, and patient. To give of your time, and all free on this channel! I encourage everyone watching to sign up to be a patreon and not only support you financially, but take your more detailed courses. It is amazing what you have learned and share with us. Brother should be paying you as I am sure there are many people like me that have purchased this machine because of you and your tutorials. And the gift you have given those who have had this machine and struggled how to use everything, or not be aware of all it can do. . God bless you Kim.
Thanks so much! You may notice me but Brother hasn't yet. I do have some ongoing supporters which is great. I appreciate each and every viewer and I really enjoy teaching. Your comment made my day! I would love to craft full time and actually make a living at it. It is a dream of mine. I know that with viewers like you and the growth of my channel, it can happen.

Didn't know there was a fill in for the font. Now I need ti re -do my inserts for my Christmas Cards. Thanks for the video.
I just bought a cut and scan I am so glad for your you tubes. Thank you
Wonderful! It will be such a fun crafting buddy for you. It will save you a lot of time. Thanks for watching Joyce.
I bought my scan n cut a DX 1000 month ago & bought the universal pen holder a couple of days ago. I'm so glad I found your tutorial, Thankyou so much for such an easy step by step guide, I'm very grateful, I'm 62 so learning doesn't come so easy anymore. This tutorial is so helpful. 🦘💙
You are going to really enjoy your machine. I always like to start my tutorials at the beginning so I’m glad you like my approach to teaching.
You are a wonderful teacher/tutor
Thank you! 😃 I appreciate that Eluned.
Thanks so much for all your videos. I think Brother should pay you something for providing this information
Love this. No wait a minute, I REALLY LOVE THIS. I’ve learned sooooo much just watching your videos. Thank you so much Kim. Oh and the “treats” you give, you are beyond sweet. Bless you
Thanks so much. I had a set of markers which got lost in one of my moves and I was bummed out. Then, I treated myself to an entire set again and I'm a Happy Camper. I'm glad you got to see what happens with all of the treats I keep making.
Kim- You have the Brother machines mastered for sure. This stuff is amazing. Thank you for showing us that this machine does so many different things. You are so crafty & talented.
Judy, I wear out my fleet of die cutting machines for sure. Thanks for watching and for making me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
What a great video , easy to understand and lots of information thank you ,
Thanks, I appreciate you watching my videos.
Wow!!!
You amaze me. Brother needs to hire you to showcase their Scanncut! You are much more helpful than anyone I have ever watched.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. You are the one that convinced me but Scanncut (I am a stamper..and dies are getting out of hand).
Thanks Cheri! I don’t think Brother even knows I exist. I appreciate your comment.
I love the way you explain and teach! I've had my SnC 350 for 3 years and never realized it could write on envelopes. Because of your tutorial, I'm going to give it a try. Thank you!!
You are so welcome! You can write on all kinds of items as long as they are not too thick. I am glad I have helped you open your mind to new possibilities. Thanks for watching.
So much great information! :) I really appreciate your taking the time to be patient and help. As a former school teacher, I can recognize good teaching when I see it!
Thanks Ted. I appreciate your comment. I love teaching and I always try to put myself in the shoes of my students/viewers.
Wonderful video now I think I can do it. lol I'm going to look for your other video, working with fonts, so I can watch that one also. Thank you
Thanks Karen, I am just catching up on comments. I do have other videos on working with fonts and an entire course (7 hours) on the topic. I have coupons for my courses in my current newsletter. Here is a link. The coupons expire in a couple of days. I release new coupons each month. The courses never expire once you register for them. mailchi.mp/26801abc8e2b/get-go-promotion-udemy-coupons-christmas-tutorial-bundle-more
Ordered me a universal pen holder, from your link!! Gonna love doing this. HappyHappyHappy
Thanks for using my link and for supporting my channel. Every bit helps keep me going and caffeinated.
I finally tried it, watched video a few times before attempting. I’m really pleased. Thanks again for your great instructions. I can see me doing lots with that pen holder. The red was not as deep as I thought but my marker is quite old, I’ll try a newer one next time. Thank you, thank you.
I love the idea of being able to complete the insert for the cards. Thank you so much for your videos.
Oh yes! You can draw your sentiments right into the card inserts. I’m using stamps for the inside but use whatever you have for sure. Our craft stashes need some love ❤️!
Thank you so much for sharing these videos! It does mean so much to me that you offer these to help us with our Brother SnC. I have had mine for just under a year but I’m slowing trying to learn. I’m just getting back into my craft room after 7 years and things are overwhelming at the moment, so I am loving your channel just to keep me informed as much as I can at the moment. Thank so much!! ❤️
Buffy, I am glad that you are getting back into your craft room. Mine is a disaster and I have to navigate piles of stuff just to get to my machines. Thanks for watching my channel and for taking the time to comment. There are loads of tutorials on here to get you started.
Papered Chef I do appreciate ALL of your hard work in making these videos. They are a HUGE help to me when I am able to make things. Fortunately I do have a spillover room that has my machine & SU supplies, so that’s where I have been working from...on a small table. Hopefully my craft room will be PILE FREE soon...HOPEFULLY 🤦♀️!! Take care and I am forever grateful for your videos ❤️❤️❤️!!!
Buffy Scott Thanks and keep on crafting no matter how small your space is. I will sure keep them coming!
You’re the best, thank you so much for this tutorial ❤
Thanks so much. It makes so much sense. I have the Stamping Up Pens from over 10 years ago and they still work. They may not be the exact colors that are carried today but I can always supplement them. Looking forward to this Udemy course. I have learned so much from you and keep trying new things with my SNC. Who knew? LOL Hugs Sue
You know my motto. Use what you have in your stash. The SU markers are the same size and will work without any additional adjustments. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
I love your videos❤️ I have a scan and cut but have never used it. You give me the confidence to dive in and do it. Thank you so much🤗
Thanks for watching Pamela. You are so welcome! I have courses too which will walk you though each setting. For example, the SDX125 course or the Basics course based on the CM350. You can watch videos about my courses here. thepaperedchef.com/brother-scanncut-courses
I have never commented on a UA-cam video before, until today. You are my new BFF. :)
Well I feel very SPECIAL now. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I have loads of other videos on the ScanNCut so I hope you poke around my play lists and check some more out too.
Thank you for this video
, I’m so glad I can use my Stampin up pens.
You are so welcome Elaine! I love using my Stampin' Up! markers so that they match my projects.
Love this Kimberly...now I have done my swaps...I have time to get back the my SDX...this is a must do...thank you for sharing...now I will be using me universal pen holder too...Cheers :)
Well I hope the ScanNCut helped you with your swaps. It is my secret weapon for card bases and elements. Thanks for practicing what you learn and for checking out my tutorials.
@@PaperedChef...yes I did Kimberly...will post a pic of one later when am on the group page...and always check out what I have missed...need my fix you know...lol
You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
You are very welcome! Glad to see you here watching. This gadget is a must have for drawing with your ScanNCut.
Great tutorial once again. Thanks again for all the time you put into all your videos.
You are very welcome Leanna! Glad to see you here again. I appreciate your comment. Please give this a try.
Thank you so much Kim, this was a wonderful tutorial, and I appreciate you taking your time, and showing us how to use our ScanNCut machines.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for realizing how much time these tutorials take. The reason many are so long is due to all of the prep time. Thanks for watching Jan.
@@PaperedChef You’re very welcome Kim❣️
Oh my i love your tutorials...never knew i could do any of this with my scan and cut ...how awesome !
Ma Sue, as the saying goes: "You ain't seen nothin' yet" because the machine can do so much more. I am just limited by how much time I have to show you. Keep on watching and I'll do my best to keep it fresh.
Love your videos, well explained!
Omg I always learn new things from you, thank you!! I will be buying that pen holder!
Sue, the Universal Pen Holder is my favorite accessory for the ScanNCut. Thanks for watching yet again.
I learn so much from your tutorials. Thank you.
Thanks Stella. Glad to see you here. Keep on coming back.
What an amazing tutorial, Kimberly! Thank you for. your time, your talent and your generosity!
Sharon, you are very welcome. This is just such a great tool to have. I wanted to share this with all of my crafty friends.
Thank you so much. That was what I had failed to do.
You never fail. You just haven't explored every feature yet. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful video and very timely for a project that I need to make. Thank you so very much!
Right on! I like showing up right on time. I hope you give this a try right away. It makes me so proud when viewers try what I demonstrate.
Love your videos very well explained 😘
Awesome! I can't wait to check out your course!
Thanks Gail. Glad to see you here again. When my course gets published, I will be shouting it from the rooftop. You will know.
Thank you for showing us this step. I could not find how to make my pen be Stationary in the pin holder I've watched people what they never actually shown the inside of the pin holder and you're the 1st person I've seen to twisted and to see The inside turn and tighten
Thanks Deborah, I try to teach the way I like to be taught because I’m a visual person. I’m glad you appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time to comment on this and keep watching for more uses for this pen holder.
Wow, this is the most amazing & helpful video! I have learned so much! Thank you so much, just found your channel and subscribed.
I'm glad you found my channel. I am happy to share useful tips. There are loads of tutorials here so please poke around in the Play Lists.
Amazing video - love your Aloha cards!!
Thanks Cheryl, I love how the Universal Pen Holder helps us write and draw like the PROS!
OMG you are amazing. Do you think you could do addresses and sentiments for the inside of the cards? I have terrible handwriting and I am always looking for options.
Thanks Susan. Oh YES. Of course you could do addresses for the envelopes too. I use a label maker for those. I have so many stamps that I will NEVER run out of sentiments but you would do EXACTLY what I just showed you. That is how you write on the inside of your card. I would write on panels first and then adhere them later.
Loved learning this! Can't wait for you udemy class!
Thanks Donna! I’m set to launch in less than a week. I’m excited and I will be doing a launch video on UA-cam for sure.
U R THE GREATEST!!!
Thanks Mary. I even have another Drawing Tool to review so stay tuned for that. I will be sharing it soon.
@@PaperedChef ooooooyipieeee i think i got about 2 more hours and i will be done with classes o my gosh i have LEARNED SO.
MUCH!
Thanks
Anytime! I hope this was useful Patti!
Thank you for this tutorial.
Anytime. Thanks for watching Jerilee.
Thankyou
You are very welcome Yvonne! Thanks for watching.
Love it
Thanks Janet. I am glad you like this tutorial on personalizing envelopes. I love matching my marker colors to the DSP.
Thank you what a great tutorial, your amazing xx
Thanks Eluned! I’m glad you liked learning these techniques. Glad you are watching.
Thank you great tutorials..I use a tiny piece of post a note under my universal pen holder instead of the paper. The sticky side down and it holds.
Barbara, the sticky note is a good idea for sticking but it doesn't give you the EXACT height you need for the medium you are going to be drawing onto. Thanks for watching.
Awesome! I subscribed. Mostly coz you used my name on one of your envelopes "Cindy"!!! HaHa, it was calling me!
Cracking Up! My sister's name is Cindy and she is my biggest fan and most enthusiastic Happy Mail Recipient. Welcome to my channel. Thanks for subscribing Cindy.
This is so awesome Kim! I knew that the SDX could do this I just didn't know how. Is this class available for purchase now? You so rocked this Kim but then you always do! Cannot thank you enough for all that you do, seriously Brother needs to put you on their payroll! I'm like Susan Knouse I would love for you to demo or a class on addressing envelopes! Thanks Kim
Kathy, You are very welcome. You address envelopes the exact same way you add a name to an envelope. You just have to add a few lines of text. You would have an easier time with the software of course but it would still be tedious. If I address envelopes, I put them through the printer or make labels. I have faith in my viewers that you can apply what you learned here to addressing envelopes but if not, I can always address it in future tutorials.
@@PaperedChef Thanks Kim.....I just order the pen adapter through your link. As I have told you before I too am a Stampin Up fan so now when I do my envelopes I can use my Stampin Up markers. I'll give the addressing a whirl and if I can't figure it out I will let you know. Thanks again Kim for everything. Have a good weekend :-)
@@kathyf6882 Thanks for your support. Every bit counts. There is not a text wrap feature in Canvas Workspace like there is in Word or other programs, for example. So, each line of text has to go on a separate line. Once you set it up, tape your envelopes to the mat in the same place and you can pump out a few at once.
@@PaperedChef I will be watching for your new class to come out so I can purchase it. I also sent a request to join your facebook group. I couldn't find a link for your Patreon, I thought I had seen one before. Thanks Kim
Kathy F Oh yes, the link is part of my channel banner which is where you may have seen it. Here it is. patreon.com/paperedchef
You have been so helpful I’ve watched you for a couple months and you make it easy for me to follow along. I’m really considering on purchasing a brother scan & cut witch matching would you suggest
Hi Darla, thanks for watching even without a machine. You sure will be ready for when you get one. You will probably be better off with the SDX125 if you cut thick material and fabric. I mainly cut stamped images and patterned paper which is why my CM350 is my favorite. It just works better but each machine has a personality. It may just be a better machine even though the SDX has more features. The downside of the CM350 is that you need to also purchase the online activation card if you want to use it wirelessly (CM350) ScanNCut2 CM350: amzn.to/2EcTuRF
Love you videos
Thanks Yvonne, I appreciate you watching. More tips & tricks to come.
Thank you so much! This is fantastic!!!!! Can you treat Text that is created in Canvas Workspace the same in the machine. Resize, fill and etc. Thanks again so much for your sharing with all of us! Is the new DX and Fonts course signup available yet!!!!
Yes, Absolutely Linda! You can draw the text from Canvas Workspace as as outline or with a fill. There are a couple of things to keep in mind. You can only use the installed version which is Canvas Workspace for the PC. That version lets you access fonts. Also, make sure you set your one to draw, not cut inside of Canvas. I will delve deep into these topics in my upcoming course. Thanks for watching.
Hi Kim, I’m so sorry , I been out, having lots of appointment and therapy, but I’m getting there, just no energy to play with paper 😢Tfs your pen , I got me one but still in the package, soon, hugs my friend, ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Well you are half way there. You have the Universal Pen Holder, and watched this and now all that is left is for you to feel better so you can play. Or, maybe by playing, you will feel better. Sending wished your way Frenchie!
Great tutorial!!
Thanks Mary! I appreciate you watching!
I just signed up for 3 of your courses. How will we know when they start? Can't wait to get started!
Hi Dar, I think I replied already but I don't like to leave any comments unanswered. You go to Udemy.com and then click on My Learning. That is where you find the courses you signed up for. They never expire. You can download them and watch them on a mobile device.
Hi great video. When I try to fill the letters no pen /highlighter marker comes up. And therefore am not able to fill in the letters. What am I ding wrong? I have the 350 or S n C 2. Michelle
Thanks Michelle, Here is a tutorial I did using the CM350 and the Universal Pen Holder. ua-cam.com/video/3NZsU8Kl7WI/v-deo.html
Hiya, can I use the brush nib end of the markers to do solid fill?
Oh yes, of course you can but it does bleed if you have a small area. Sometimes, I just create the outline and then use my markers to color inside of the lines manually. Either way, it is fun to experiment.
Thanks for the response and ghe tip, i will be sure to give it a go ...
Hi Kim, loved the lesson - My machine is a SDX1200 I have tried this and I have a lovely outline of my word, no pieces of the word are missing. Without changing the pen or holder, I followed instructed for fill but each time I am not getting a complete fill, I can see a tiny white spacing (Nearly there). Is there a setting I have to change for this please. Thank you. (Sorry if this comment is in more than one place having trouble posting)
Not a problem. When you have a question, so do others. First off, it makes be so proud to know that you tried this already. Sometimes, I get a bunch of tiny lines instead of a full fill because my pattern fill is not set to solid. However, you probably have an alignment issue. Try this. ua-cam.com/video/8EVcwMewrWQ/v-deo.html
I bought this and I don’t seem to have the right size pen it won’t grab mine what can I do please help
Do you know what the maximum diamater of the marker adapter is? I have mostly artist quality fineliners or Copics I don't think the copics would work at all do to the bleed on most types of paper and my fineliners have a small barrel.
Kelly, thanks for watching. The pen sizes which fit range from 9.6 mm to 11.4 mm. I’ll show how to make the smaller pens fit at some point. It is in one of my courses but I think I’ll show it on UA-cam as well.
Thanks for that info. My fineliners will fit! Yay!
Kelly Ghirarduzzi Keep a lookout for a tutorial where I show you what to do if your markers don’t fit.
Pampered Chef, I LOVE your tutorials!💖💖💖
I've been looking for tutorials of how to work the fonts and get different fonts. I would also like to know how I can add fonts from my computer or internet and send them to my canvas space on my DX. When or how do I get your course on these fonts??? I'm soooo hungry for learning my machine. Help!!!
Thank you for all you do.👍👐🤗💕
Norma, be sure to click on the bell to be notified of my new videos and sign up for my blog updates at thepaperedchef.com so that you get notified when it comes out. I’m planning for Mid-March and I’m coming the topics you want and need to know. I am working on the handouts now to go with the projects.
@@PaperedChef Thank you soooo much. Can I purchase that class now while you're having a sale?
How do I sign up now?
@@normalara1417 Norma, my course will be published this coming week. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter so that you don't miss out on my launch coupons. I will also be doing a launch video on UA-cam. Thanks for your interest. mailchi.mp/2a250b3e68b4/sale-a-bration-2nd-release-tutorials-promotions-sneak-peeks-and-more
Norma Lara It’s not published yet do you can’t sign up yet but I’ll let you know.
Could you tell us haw attach the letters? Thanks for sharing
That is done inside of Canvas Workspace and will be demonstrated in great detail in my next course: Brother ScanNCut - Working with Fonts. It should be launched by mid-March so please keep an eye out for it.
I typed Happy Birthday on my laptop with a font I like, and sent it to my ScanNCut. I scanned my paper in and placed my words where I wanted them, but when I click on Draw, it says nothing is there. It does not show my paper I scanned or my words. Do you only use the alphabets that are on the ScanNCut?
The reason it didn't draw is because back in Canvas, you need to set it as a Drawing Line and not a Cutting Line. I have an entire course on Working with Fonts. You can watch the preview here. thepaperedchef.com/brother-scanncut-courses
I just had a thought, could you do a calibration tutorial? I seem to never get the off set perfectly correct, thank you
Katie, I have done that tutorial several times on my channel. Here is a link to one of them. ua-cam.com/video/8EVcwMewrWQ/v-deo.html
Katie Marsh, if you subscribe to Kim’s You Tube, you can click on her picture under her video and it will take you to every video she creates. And she is AWESOME I might add. I’ve learned more about using my CM350 watching her videos than I was learning on other Brother videos.
Can I use the universal pen holder on the older machine
Yes, absolutely! It fits the CM and SDX models.
when you do the fill, do you use the bigger pen end?
No Diane, I found that the larger end (brush tip) is too big for filling the inside of fonts. I use the smaller end. If you have a very large open area, the brush tip is fine. Thanks for watching.
Can you use cardstock instead of paper
Oh yes Colleen, you can draw onto cardstock. It works fine.
When is working with fonts coming out please
Mid-March. Lesley, keep on watching because I will do a release video on UA-cam. Hit the bell and you will be notified. I will do a launch video for sure.
Can multiple names be done at once for labels?
You could use sticker paper and draw whatever you want and then cut them out. I used stickers for the top of these baby shower favors. I printed the tops on a printer but then cut the precise circles out with the ScanNCut. You always have to consider the best tool for the job. In this case, it was a combination of using the printer and the ScanNCut. ua-cam.com/video/yjvhWt3AVn8/v-deo.html
What do you do if pen does not write?
You just adjust it again or give up and change pens. I don’t fight it.
Will it hold sharpie markers?
The thin Sharpies but not the thick ones.
What happens if you use a thinker pen
Jenny, I don't know what a thinker pen is but I recently showed how to adapt the Universal Pen Holder. I also found a new tool since then that I will review. ua-cam.com/video/oGH7oguJN9I/v-deo.html
Hi, how thick has yourr pen(pencil) got to be to fit in the drawholder please?
The pen sizes which fit range from 9.6 mm to 11.4 mm. I’ll show how to make the smaller pens fit at some point. It is in one of my online courses on Udemy but I think I’ll show it on UA-cam as well. So many topics to cover. So little time.
Could you help me with letterhead? With a logo?
Karen Stone Drawing a logo or letterhead is the same process but a printer would be more suitable for fine details. The Brother ScanNCut is better for personalization, etc.
Thank you
Has the Working With Fonts course signup begun?
Not yet! You will know it. I will do a launch video. I’m hoping in less than two weeks. That is the plan. For now, I’m giving sneak peeks of the projects.
@@PaperedChef thank you. I'm looking forward to it.
I have SU pens that do not work.
What font is the Diane written in?
It is written in Nouradilla and I absolutely love that one. It is from one of my favorite sites called Creative Fabrica. In my course, I show how to weld and draw with this font and many others too. www.creativefabrica.com/fonts/ref/237401/
I don't suppose you know any personal instructors in the Denver area.
Hi Dianne, I don't know of any in-person instructors there. I do know that if you take my online courses (coupon codes in the description) and watch these tutorials online, you will be an expert in no time. It just takes practice. Thanks for watching.
I brought one when I brought my scan n cut
OMG NO Tape Please! I have had the tape jam in my machine what a night mare to get out. NEVER again will I use ANY tape. A good adhesive on your mat is all you need.
I use tape all of the time AND I use great adhesives for re-tacking my mats. I use my ScanNCut so much that my sticky wears off quickly. Tape was stuck before but I got it out. Washi tape is the worst. Painters Tape hardly ever gets stuck. I am not afraid of it getting stuck as much as I am afraid of ruining my paper as it keeps slipping. Thanks for watching.
