How To Make Coloring Pages With Make The Cut! and Lettering Delights

A Happy White St. Patrick's Day to ye!  As I mentioned in a previous post, if it's snowing where I live, schools close.  So my children are home from school, again!  I thought I'd give my daughter something to do so I made a few coloring pages in Make The Cut! using St. Patrick's Day images from Lettering Delights.  It's a quick and easy thing to do.

  
First import the image and color it white.  Under File select print options and choose print shape outlines.  Print it out!

I noticed the lines weren't very thick on the clover when I did it this way.

Thin lines

It's just a matter of preference, but I thought I'd make the lines a little thicker.  To do this I created small shadows of each layer and colored them black, leaving the original layers on top white.

With shadows for thicker lines.

Now I have a nice page for my daughter to color!  (And hopefully keep her occupied so I can finish this post!).

Thick lines

I think the entire process took less than 10 minutes!  Not only that, it's a great use of your cutting files without having to cut a thing.  It's also the perfect kid activity when the weather outside is downright freezing only three days away from Spring!  Nothing like some hot cocoa, a fire, and some coloring pages to keep you warm. Is it snowing where you are today?  If it is, stay warm and how about coloring a page or two?
