How to make a SHAPED Penguin Card

I love making shaped cards, that's one of the reasons I wanted an electronic die cutting machine.  I have made a short tutorial below to help those of you who would like to have a go.

If you want a quick, cute, shaped card to make using your Pazzles Inspiration there are lots you could make from the gorgeous Eskimo Kisses SVG and the Basic Snowflakes SVG.

Both sets on SALE for $4.00 at Lettering Delights.

Offer ends Monday, December 12th at midnight, MST.

I have done a few screen shots below to get you started and on the road to making shaped cards.

If you have a Pazzles Inspiration or similar electronic die cutting machine just import the SVG file into your software.  Then UNGROUP all the layers and place them on your visual mat.

DESELECT then SELECT top penguin
MOVE the top penguin so that it overlaps the other penguin with the DOWN ARROW then SELECT both penguins. 

DESELECT then SELECT both Penguins.

Your penguins should be WELDED!

Your mat should look something like this ready to CUT.

 Then place your cardstock on your mat and cut.  Assemble all your pieces.
