		<title>Bite Into This!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Carol B contacted me late yesterday asking how she could create a bite mark in a cookie or an apple. Now the basic way would be to use the Ginsu knife tool and just hold down the left mouse button and draw the bite mark through the image and separate:

The problem is that I&#8217;m a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solving a Design Problem with Stenciling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


So, I thought about it for a while and then suddenly remembered the stenciling trick where you carve one image out from another and the effect is a kind of merging of the two images.  While it&#8217;s not EXACTLY the same as seeing the dogs&#8217; paws on top of the sign, the resulting look [...]]]></description>

Thanks to Terina who sent in her family business logo above for a slight editing change. The bottom of the &#8220;O&#8221; was open and she wanted to know the easiest way to close that part of the letter to match the top:



Now, I could have told Terina to just bring up the nodes, split a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Itty Bitty Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Linda N contacted me a few days ago and couldn&#8217;t figure out why the boxes around her selected image extended all the way down to the Sign Blank border instead of being positioned around her image:

Well, this will always mean that there is MORE selected than what meets the eye.  So,  to find the &#8220;hidden [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

First off, I appreciate all of my readers here. Thank you for your support throughout 2009. Sorry I haven&#8217;t had new info to post. It&#8217;s not from a lack of ideas&#8230; just a lack of time with the holidays. 
Also, there&#8217;s an apparent glitch with the Feed Burner subscription and I know a lot of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free KNK File: Scroll Tree</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


This is Cara&#8217;s adorable Christmas card!  Her husband, Bryan, designed the file and they cut out the parts on their yellow Klic-N-Kut.  Because I had recently assisted them with getting their KNK to cut from Vista 64, they shared this file and photo with me and I then received permission to share with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thickening Shapes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


BeCca contacted me last week with a stick tree that was impossible to cut due to extremely thin branches. So, I used the same process I&#8217;ve shown in several of the designing videos on this blog to make the branches thicker. The difference in this particular case was that part of the image needed to [...]]]></description>
