Instructions
Cutting Out the Sparkler Gnome Card
- Upload the SparklerGnome Card in to design space. Check to make sure the size is correct.
- Select all and ungroup
- Next select the dotted line
- and change it from basic cut to a score line
- Then select the dotted line and card
- and attach them together
- Now your sparkler gnome card is ready to be cut out
Next you will click on "Make It" and the prepare mat screen will appear.
Now if everything looks correct on it, click on the continue button
The next screen will be where you will select the type of card stock you are using. If you do not see the material in your material favorites, click on "browse all materials" to find the weight of cardstock that you are using. For example the white Cardstock I used is medium weight, you will need to select "Medium Weight"..
Once you have Design Space set, you are now ready to prepare your mat. I used a brayer when placing the Cardstock on the mat, this helps in making sure that the paper is adhered to the mat and will help in keeping the paper from ripping or moving when it is being cut.
Assembling the Sparkler Gnome Card
