With Tag file open, select Style>Shadow Blackout, cut from Burgundy
card stock. Layer White stamped tag onto
Burgundy Tag, set aside.
To create button:
Open button image in eCraft software, resize to desired
size. Note when resizing you will have
to resize both the cut and drawn images separately, then group them
together. Cut from Burgundy card stock. Resize button smaller and cut from Olive card
stock. Clear emboss both buttons, layer
on top of each other, tie with hemp; adhere to tag with dimensionals, set
aside.
To create snowflake from Branch image:
Open Branch in eCraft Software, resize as desired. Note – the wider you make the branch the
better cut you will achieve.
Rotate Branch, Edit>Copy>Edit>Paste to add second branch. To join them Edit>Select All>Edit>Union.
To finish turning the branches into a snowflake
Edit>Copy, Edit>Paste, then rotate image and move it into place, continue
to do this until your image looks like the one pictured above.
To complete the transformation of the branches into the
snowflake as shown above, click Edit>Select All, Edit>Union.
Adhere 3L Adhesive paper to White card stock, insert into
eCraft with the Adhesive Backing side face up.
This will allow your image to have a better cut. Cut image.
Resize “branch snowflake” a bit smaller and cut smaller image.
Peel Adhesive from snowflake. Discard backing, press snowflake image sticky
side down into Tinsel Embossing Powder, shake off extra, heat with heat
gun. Repeat with smaller image.
