Because of the event that started my week I didn't get the chance to post the cards I made with that lovely melting snowman from this post. Instead of making one card, I ended up making four different versions of the same card. I'd like to show you all four versions of this card, and maybe you'll discover, as I did, that creating is a process! During that process I used a lot of features in Silhouette Studio DE(SSDE). SSDE has many great features that I love, but my absolute favorite is the ability to print, sketch and then cut. I have not been able to achieve this in Make The Cut. If anyone knows how to do it in that program PLEASE let me know! Well, on to the first version:
I'm floating! |
Much better down here! |
I'm feeling sketchy |
Not the sun!! |
Since this card had less space, I had to eliminate the words on the front. I also used a different type of sketch around the snowman. You might notice a black line around the card edge, which is from me not remembering to make the outline transparent instead of black. I thought if I didn't have print outlines checked in the program those lines wouldn't print, but they did. I didn't want to make a fifth card! In case you're wondering, here are the inner sentiments for the cards:
How sweet! |
So that's the creative process I went through to get to a card I felt happy with. I learned to keep going when you're not satisfied, and that it's a great way to distract yourself from things you'd like to forget about! Do any of you find the same things to be true? I'd love to hear what your creative process is like! Here's what I used to make these cards:
