My 1st Project with Make the Cut…Foghorn Leghorn. You can change the color of the on screen mat!! That’s why mine is PINK!
I have to tell you…I’m so impressed with this software!! I made Foghorn really quickly and it was so much fun to do. If you haven’t tried it yet, you can download a free trial version of it by going to the Make the Cut site and clicking Download Now then continuing in Demo Mode.
HOW I TURNED THIS IMAGE INTO PAPER CUT IMAGES:
Following the example on how to Convert Raster Images to SVG Format on the Make the Cut home page I did these things:
- Step 1: Found a .jpg image of Foghorn Leghorn on the Internet.
- Step 2: I imported the image by using the ‘Trace Raster Image’ button. It’s the one that looks like a silhouette.
- Step 3: I adjusted the threshold to clean up the outline of the image and clicked ‘Accept’.
- Step 4: Using Break/Split/Layer and Join, I created the components of the image.
Then as they say… I began to “Make the Cut“.
No, this is not a bed. It’s my dining room table with a Christmas quilt on it. I was too lazy to move anything, LOL.
This bad boy worked like a CHARM!! 1st try and I had all the cuts I needed to assemble Foghorn Leghorn. Granted this would look a lot more impressive if I had used different colors for the parts, but hey…it’s a few days before Christmas and I have 1 billion things left to do and a party tonight. So…you’re getting one color today. Them’s the breaks.
Isn’t that just the coolest thing EVAH?!! This was EASY to do and FAST to learn. Nothing overly complicated about it.
Now, I just need to reprint this in some decent colors and I can go Foghorn somebody’s day with a cute card.
You know you want it! Merry Christmas to you!!
