This tool is not one that people often think to use, but can open up lots of flexibility on your pages.
In Start2Finish Videos, you enter the desktop of a p2P team member and watch them build a page from Start2Finish. Today, you will watch as Tameka builds a masked photo and title cluster as the main decorative element of her page.
Here's a fun video tidbit using the Paint Tool found on the Touchup Ribbon. You'll learn how to use different diameters of the brush and vary the opacity of the paint to create a wave with bubbles and foam.
In this Video Tidbit, you'll learn how to cut an edge on an element using the Custom Cutter. And then, by using the Touchup Tool and the Paint technique, you'll create a burned edge. This technique would work well on a paper border or a scavenger hunt invitation!
The title divide technique is a head turner for sure. A little imagination, the wand tool and paint tools go a long way to give you stunning photo effects. This video expands on the techniques taught in Challenge 328: Title Divider. Title Divide Too shows you ways to work with text that has gaps and also allows you to fill the text and the word independently.
Every so often, you'll pick a Fancy Font/ AlphaSet that doesn't have all of the characters you need for your title. There are usually work-arounds using Artisan 5 and this video tidbit will show you how to create commas, question marks, and quotation marks using bit and pieces from other letters.
Sometimes we need a pattern to help us achieve the look we want. In this video, Anne finds a word art embellishment that will help her create a smooth text path that stretches across 2 pages for a scroll like look. She'll add a shape from an art kit and then paint the Lepidoptera (butterflies) in different colors using the Color Picker tool.
Using the Painting tool on the Touchup Ribbon you can create a fun urban graffiti art design on your page.
In this Start2Finish video, you'll watch Anne creating a page from a trip to the beach. The cutting tools will be used to create a stamp-like edge to a photograph which is then used as a full size photo on the page and also reduced to use as a stamp for journaling.
Have a play with changing the colors in any element by the use of the Rubber Stamp tool and the Touchup tool.
Inking the edges of your photos, embellishments or papers can add a just the right finishing touch to your page. You can add fun colorful edges, or distress and age your element just a bit. The best part about it all is there is no precision required and the process is super easy.
This title technique uses text shapes along with the Wand and Paint tools to create a cleverly cut out shadow for stylish titles on your pages.
