Creative Cutter MINI

Recommended Reading Sequence

If you’re very comfortable with Windows

®

 software applications and basic printer 

operation,

 use Chapter 2 to properly install and set up the Pazzles Mini Creative Cutter. Skim 

through Chapter 3 and 6. To get the most from the cutter, work through the projects in Chapter 
4. Finally, review the contents of the remaining chapters to acquaint yourself with the 
techniques you can begin incorporating into your scrapbooking projects. 

If you’re more confident in your scrapbooking skills than you are with a computer,

 we 

recommend you carefully read Chapters 2 and 3 first. Then work through all the projects in 
Chapter 4.

Chapter 2 will guide you through proper installation and set up of the Pazzles Creative Cutter. 

Chapter 3 provides concise instructions on starting the cutter, using the software, and making cuts. 

Chapter 4 leads you directly through your first projects! In just a few hours, you will master the 

techniques you'll use the most often with the Pazzles Creative Cutter. 

When you are comfortable with the techniques in the early Chapters of the book, begin to 
explore the scrapbooking techniques described in Chapter 5 and beyond.
