The latest version, SCAL 5, brings new effects including a stencil tool so that you can easily create stencil bridges. You can combine fonts, pre-existing shapes/artwork, or draw your own.

If you cut the image of tinkerbell whole out of vellum and peice the other shapes on top it will be lovely! That way the wings will be vellum. Do the setps listed above in the post to make them an SVG file then import in in to SCAL to cut. After everthing is arranged on the page flatten the layers and use the magic wand tool to select every peice by clicking on the background (white) then go under the ajust menu and pick hue/saturation/lightness and pull the slider so the peices are black. Make sure when you arrange the peieces you spread them out accorss the page so there is plenty of space for you to lay ou the diffrent colors of paper you will cut. Do this for each part of her except the wings. Go back to the original pic, use the magic wand to select her dress, copy and paste it into the new doc. Copy and paste tinkerbell in the new doc. Use the magic wand tool to select tinkerbell. Open a new document 6РІР‚С–x12РІР‚С– 72 dpi will be fine.

OK cloetzu, here goesРІР‚В¦ First I want to say that that image is copyright protected so donРІР‚в„ўt share the file or Disney may have your butt in a sling LOL but IРІР‚в„ўm here to teach so here is how to do it: Open the file in Paint shop or Photoshop. Thanks for sitting through this long post. IРІР‚в„ўm gonna cut a bunch of these for my kids classes, they had a ball decorating these and it will be so much easier than cutting them by hand! Honestly, I canРІР‚в„ўt wait to make some myself! Have fun and if you have trouble leave me a comment and IРІР‚в„ўll see what I can doРІР‚В¦feel free to comment if you are successful tooРІР‚В¦I like the success stories!

I you have a multi-colored image you can use a graphics program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to separate everything with the РІР‚Сљmagic WandРІР‚Сњ tool first then cut and paste them in a new document before opening it in inkscapeРІР‚В¦I think you can even do that in inksape but I havenРІР‚в„ўt tried (if it ainРІР‚в„ўt broke why fix it!). Yay! There it is just like magic! resize as needed. Open SCAL, click'file' then 'import SVG' and select your file. * this is important, you donРІР‚в„ўt open a svg file in SCAL you need to choose РІР‚СљimportРІР‚Сњ.

Yes, IРІР‚в„ўm a total squareРІР‚В¦OK IРІР‚в„ўm off the soapbox СЂСџв„ўвЂљ This is for personal use only, otherwise I would just give you the files I made but that would be uncool since these freebies promote the designers business and drive traffic to their blogs. The files still belong to the original creator, that means you cannot share them or sell them without permission. DonРІР‚в„ўt forget to leave some love if you download, a simple thanks will do and it is sure to make her day! Halloween mask freebie by Merdith FenwickР”Р„ note about converting files. They are a freebie from Digi-Designer Meredith Fenwick and you can grab them on her blog here. Here are the free png mask files I used for this project. Here is what my 4 year old daughter made with what I cut: Ooh-La-La, a fancy mask!

You will need Sure Cuts a Lot (SCAL) Software, a Cricut and a free program called Inkscape for this tutorail.

Expect to say РІР‚Сљduh!РІР‚Сњ before this post is over. Not that I donРІР‚в„ўt LOVE the emails, I thought it would be easier to explain it here with pictures because it is so easy. Huh? OK we are getting a bit techie today but I swear this is easy! I get many emails form my fabulous blog readers on how to convert jpg and png files to svg files so they can cut them on the Cricut.
