For this one I wanted to give another paper engraving a try with printed paper. 

My first experience was weird so I wanted to check if this would behave the same. (Turns out nope)

 

  1. Printing you image you like onto paper, I used 250gsm
    Image is from unsplash.com (Commercial free use images)
  2. I used a rectangle of the size to create a position for the “Happy Birthday”
  3. Wrote that with XCS and used the little bending symbol on the right side of the text.

  1. Place material on risers or honeycomb
  2. Use cam functionality (if available) to choose placement of image and engraving.
  3. Start process

 

For me I used my other file of the backside template,m so I didn't hat to cut the shape this time. But Cutting Setting is also listed above. You only need to turn output of the shape on.

So this is the result!

I think it's a cute alternative to classic greeting cards. I really like the look of the engraving in this project. 
 

What do you think about it? I hope you liked it and try engraved printed paper out as its a fun way to create different results. Stay crafty! ~Anzy
