How I Do Mock Up's via PC~ Crafty

 Hey Y'all!

When I first started to take photos of my crafts they turned out pretty horrible. I'd like to think there better now, I know a bit more about lighting, and focus, as well as making the photos more interesting. I'm still no pro, and I like to get it done quickly, and easily, so I'm going to share what I do.

I use my phone to take the pictures, other than resize or flipping the angles I don't edit them. (Easy way, remember?)

I start with something like this:

I've added relevant clutter items, to make the picture more interesting. I also don't have a lot of money to spend on lighting, or props. I use what I have, this is why I take photos in the Living Room, it has the best lighting 99% of the time.

I then move the photo(s) to the PC (there are many apps that help with that, or there is always the old email yourself option). After that I upload them to Cricut Design Space as a Print then Cut image.

Click insert, resize to fit the screen nicely (usually between 9 and 11 inches for my screen) and begin design work.

After adding the design(s), I use the PC's Snipping Tool to "grab" the photo and save it to my computer.

Here's what I did with this photo:
