Tut: Extract Pattern Paper
Posted on | July 22, 2008 | 4 Comments |
It’s been awhile since I did a digi tut. This is a super easy one. Just a how-to on the page I created last week using Corina’s freebie kit. I received a couple private messages that basically said: how did you do it exactly? Since my explanation was a bit unclear. So here it is:
–> You can also watch it on YouTube in high quality <–
This is a really nice technique actually for those who aren’t into digital. I printed a little bit, in color, on transparency paper and voila… my very own, I can make as many as I want, transparent overlays or cool, again, Hambly-ish looking transparent. You should try it out!!!
I have a few cards to share but I’ll do that tomorrow. It’s for my very first class at my lss. It’s kind of weird though. They scheduled my class for 10:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and I work in the day time. So I was asked to drop the materials off for the morning session. I hope nobody in the a.m. session knows me and will be disappointed if they find out that I’m not going to personally be there.
The cards… they’re not something you’ve never seen from me… I wasn’t feeling super creative since I have to prepare cards that somebody else will need to know how to teach FAST and I can’t go buck wild on Thickers or any sort of packaged alpha since they do get expensive. I don’t like the Cricut machine. It’s a great machine but it’s not for me. I’ve used it twice and it was good for me. I’m saving up for a Klik ‘n Kut or Pazzle so that I can use gazillions of fonts and cuts through thicker material. If you want to know about the difference between the two, go to PaperThreads. The forum is an awesome place for this type of Q&A and research. If you do the math, by the time you buy 10 cartridges for the Cricut, you can buy a Pazzle and some more accessories or a KnK. At the end, you get more varieties from the Paz or the KnK. So that’s how I justify my need for an expensive machine. I’m not sure if tight wad me can do it… hand over my $$ {::SMILES}.
You make it look so easy.. Great Tutorial. I only wish I had a current Photo shop. I have a newer MAC and my photoshop that came with it is not compatible.. Sad because I have a Bamboo just sitting hear waiting to be played with..
