In reply to Nancy Markham. yes when you slice, you'll need to keep the little bits in the middle of the letters then weld those layers together :)

I am having trouble when I add text to image that it looks good on DS and then I go to cut and the inside of letters like “D”, “O”, “B” only cut out the outline of the letter. I have tried everything possible but what a friend told me is that I have to add the pieces back in. Do you know how to help me, please? I have like 20 to cut and I don’t want to add all of those tiny pieces back in.

In reply to Brooke. Just size it according to your project space! For the waterbottles I did about 3" wide by 4.5" high :) You can resize in design space.

Hi Colleen!
I just used your tutorial to make a fun dinosaur decal for a friend. It worked perfectly, however, it was way too large.
What dimensions do you suggest I use?

In reply to Erin Ritter. Did you turn off the extra layers you would have got from the cut function?

I followed your instructions and it worked perfect. However all of the letters I cut out were cut outside my image as well. It doesn’t appear on the image when it’s in the canvas, but when I go to make it, all of the sliced images are cut too. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Oh Colleen, I just saw this and am totally going to do it! What a great idea! I’m going to start right now with a unicorn for my daughter who’s starting preschool this week. Hopefully mine turns out half as cute as yours!!
