Reflections file (Watch for it in Paperthreads in a few months!)

So I always think about family more at the holidays. I just wanted to share with you another file of mine from the KNK Christmas CD. Do you mean you haven't received yours yet? It should be coming from Accugraphics soon...

Oh yeah, the blog party? It's not here today, My DH could tell you who's having it..."all you ever talk about is ***!"

KNK Christmas CD

Hopefully by now many of you (KNK owners) have received your Christmas present (CD) from Accugraphics...I really hope you enjoy the files all the designers shared. I wanted to share a picture of one of my files from the CD...it will be added to Paperthreads in GSD, AI, and AIv8 format soon!

Enjoy the holidays with family and friends! Did you find the Paperthreads Blog Party for today?

Mini Tutorial for "Skew" in Inkscape

So I had a question regarding the font I used for my Monogram Tutorial for Inkscape in the December Paperthreads Newsletter. I wanted to try and answer it here and give a little tutorial as well. The font I used was "Renaissance". I simply typed the letter "A". Then while your letter is selected go to OBJECT>TRANSFORM (or use SHIFT+CTRL+M) then go to the "Skew" tab. In this case I chose a skew of 30 degrees. This makes the letter stand more upright instead of being "italic" or slanted. Choose Apply and close the pop-up window. Don't forget to then go to PATH>OBJECT TO PATH to get your outline. I also then chose to "thicken" the font by going to PATH>OFFSET.

My new (BIG!) KNK has arrived!

So I got my KNK today...boy is it HUGE! It's capable of cutting 24 inch wide material and is 33 inches wide itself. I just thought I'd post a pic to compare my old blue Wishblade to my new mammoth. I have nicknamed them "Bittty" and "the Beast"!
