When I do this and click on “Difference” it is turning my big background name “white” instead of the names on top. Any insight on this? It is a setting that needs fixed?
This is awesome, thank you so much! I’ve just gotten around to this tutorial. You are a great instructor. I was able to follow along and do it with you 🙂
Yes!!!! After joining this group months ago…..I finally made it through this tutorial!! Now I just need to complete the tutorial to learn how to export to design space!!!
Hi there! I would recommend completing the course first before starting the tutorials. The course focuses on the essential skills you will utilize in the tutorials which is likely why you’re feeling that way.
Hi Erika. I’m trying to download Inkscape on my iPad and I’m stuck. I googled it, found it set up an account but now all I see is how to use it. Can you help?
I want to do the knockout name using it and can’t.
We have a lesson in the Inkscape course on exporting SVGs and a checklist in the workbook that goes along with it. The key thing is to ensure everything is converted to a path. So, select it all and go to Path > Object to Path. Then you can save as a SVG and upload to DS. For more in depth instructions, I recommend watching the lesson in the course.
This course is so awesome! I can’t believe everything I learned so far. I can do so many more projects that seem impossible before because of you Erica Martin. THANK YOU!
This is amazing! Thanks! I need to get Inkscape!
Thanks! Yes you do lady – got to take our course! 😉

Perfect! Thank you very much!
When I click difference it is not seperating (Knockout) name
Could it be that you have something grouped or have more than two objects selected?
I sent you a screen shot. I don’t think I do.

I’ve started adding some for many of the newer tutorials, but hopefully will be able to go back and add some to these original ones soon 🙂
Thank you! I’m a newbie to inkscape and Learning the new terms etc, the videos go too fast for me!

Hi Karin, you’ll need computer access to use Inkscape.
Hi Erica. How do I export this to get it on design space as an svg. This is on my list of things to make and I’ve not succeeded yet….grrrr

I don’t know what I am doing wrong. When I click difference it turns the knockout to black and it looks like a blob
Ok I realized I didn’t have the knockout selected first but when I select it, shift and select the name then path difference, nothing happens
Are you sure you have both selected? Feel free to send a screenshot to [email protected]
It works fine if I do it the simple way by just putting two squares overlapping then it will but out a portion. just not this.
for some reason I must have clicked something on the circle shape. I only get like a pie shape when I try to draw a circel
it looks like an oval when I click on it before I start to draw
Got your email and responded 🙂
can you make cheat sheet for this one
I love this! I went through this tutorial a little earlier and I’ve done 2 of these on pallet wood now. I’m so excited!
Yay! That’s awesome!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You’re welcome!
