Supplies:

Options:

Card Base(s)

Frames

Journals

First up, a photo craft for Valentine's Day. I see this being added to a card front, or framed on a wall- the perfect gift!

Step 1:

Choose your image!

2:

Upload your photo.

The blog linked above will walk you through this process for PC, or Android. I feel it's similar enough on Apple devices you could follow along.

3:

Add both to your canvas.

4:

Send the photo to the rear, so you can slice out the section(s) you want to showcase.

Size things up or down to work for your images, and finished project.

5: 

SLICE.

Once you have the section you want, highlight both the images, and click the slice button.

You should end up with something like this:

6:

Delete the slice remnants from your canvas.

Print the image out and finish your project!

Congratulations on finishing.

Secondly, let's make a page title for scrapbooking, journals, or a card...

This time instead of an image, we'll utilize fonts!

First we start by uploading our photo, then we'll type out our wording. For this I chose "Snow Day!"

Second, we'll choose a font that fit's our theme.

Third, we line up our wording, and size it to slice the sections we want to keep:

Once sliced, I really could see using the photo on a layout too, but the title was our intended project here.

For this third project I'm showing off how the same photo can be used for something completely different. I could see this hung on a wall as an art piece!

Cute, right?

Lastly, this project show how you can use a photo as a pattern. I then turned this monogram into a sticker. *This is an access member project, but it could be done with the free version. Would you like a how to on that? Let me know in the comments below!

Sticker:

Monogram maker, access member only.

You could create your own using fonts, and/or images.

Because the monogram had multiple colors/layers and to slice we can only use 2 layers, I welded the monogram all together.

Next we'll fit the monogram over our image, get it where we want it, and slice!

Once sliced:

Next access members can use the create a sticker option. Free version can still make stickers, just choose the flatten option in the bottom right!

Which project was your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!

Have a great day,
