Baby Birth Name and Stats - Raised Name
Instruction
Information
6" Circle with Baby First Name Raised, Middle Name and stats on base. The file has everything ready to go, easy to replace the names.
Instruction
Step1: Enter first name. Create separate text box for any letters that are not joined
Enter the first name. Can use text box already provided. Use font of your own choice, however letters must be connected so it can cut out name as one piece.
Use multiple text boxes for letters that are not joined already.
For Example - when you type Emily, the E will not be touching any of the other letters, so it should have its own text box. “mily” will all be touching and so are in their own text box.
Step2: Weld the letters that are joined
Use the “Weld” feature to join the letters that are touching within the textbox. Since this name is going to be cut out, you may want to select a BOLD type to give more substance to the name
Step3: Position remaining letter(s) to they overlap slightly, select both and use Combine feature
Once the main part of the name is welded, position the remaining text box so it slightly overlaps the text, choose both and use the Combine feature.
Step4: Position Name within Circle, edges of name should touch inner circle in at least one place
Move the newly combined name to the top of the circle. The name should be slightly overlapping the inner circle in at least one place.
Step5: Select both the circle and the name and select Combine
Now select both the name and circle and select Combine.
Step6: Type Middle Name on base image and burn
Type the middle name in the Text box on the base.
Make sure everything EXCEPT the base circle is set to IGNORE.
You may need to adjust your settings. Note that the circle is set to cut out after it burns middle name and stat fields.
Step7: Cut out First Name Circle
Make sure the base is set to IGNORE, and only the First Name Circle is set to cut.
May need to adjust your settings
Step8: Stain
Can stain the First Name Circle for more dramatic contrast from base.
Base can be written on with ball point pen. May want to test pens before use as felt tip may bleed on wood.
Step9: Use wood glue to combine pieces
Be sure to test placement before gluing
