Software: Funtime Scrapbooking IV
Materials: Oracal 631 vinyl, Amour Etch
This simple project was created as a gift. I purchased a set of 4 white wine
glasses, something I knew that she would like, and added a little
personalization to them.
For the first one, I started with the sentiment,
"Aged to Perfection." I used the
BlackJack true
type font and welded the letters together in Funtime. It's one of my favorite
fonts to work with lately because I love the look of it when it's welded
together.
The first names were typed in
BlackJack true type font and again I welded the letters
together in Funtime.
When I layered the initial and the name together it
seemed as though the first name would be lost in the initial when they were
etched together. To get the first name to appear on top of the initial I
started by creating an outline around the name. Then in Funtime, I took the
outline of the name and placed it where I wanted it to appear on the
initial.
Make sure to first select the border of the name, right click,
and then select
To front. This is important to make sure that
you do because it is what will make the subtract function work the way we want
for this application.
Once you have the name on top of the initial,
select both and select the icon on the left of your screen to Subtract all
selected objects to the first element.
Now if you go ahead a line up the
name on top of the initial you will see a border around the name that goes
through the initial.
When you're ready to cut the vinyl, make sure to cut
all of it together. That will make it easier and will keep the integrity of the
design that you've just worked on!
Thanks for looking!!
