very nice, thank you so much for this tutorial

Thank you for sharing this tutorial and Congratulations on your adorable baby Clark!

Nice! I got a lot out of this video! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try this! ❤️

You make this look so easy. I have had the program for years and haven’t gotten very far and then have to keep repeating. UGH.

You are very inspiring.

Congrats on the new little bundle.

Awesome tutorial! Very helpful and very cute!!!

ERICA THESE ARE SO CUTE. THEY ARE SO FLEXIBLE AND THE IDEAS ARE ENDLESS. CURRENTLY I AM MAKING CHANGES TO MY ST. PATRICK DAY GNOMES . I AM WORKING KITCHEN GNOMES, “CHILLIN” GNOMES ” (THAT ONE IS HARD BUT I WILL GET IT) AND SUMMER GNOMES.

Thank you for the fabulous tutorial… I have learned so much and am looking forward to practicing and creating my modified gnomes and creating other design elements. I’m looking forward to your future videos and techniques.

Hi Erica. Thank you, for the tutorial. Even though I am still very new to this, I found this very helpful and fun.

This was an awesome tutorial. They are so cute. I have been so into gnomes lately. Thank you. I appreciate your hard work. I haven’t completed your course but I plan on it.

Great tutorial! It made a lot of items fall into place for me, thanks. Beautiful baby!!

I love what you created for the various fall and winter holidays with the Gnomes. Your presentation is well done, thorough and very easy to understand and follow. Thank you for putting this video together.

I loved watching and listening to this video. It was very informative. I am very new to this so I will probably have to listen to it more than once. but well done. Thank You.

This was excellent. So many things reinforced in this video.

Thank you so much for the great tutorial. I am having fun playing with the gnomes. I have one question, when I draw the banner for the Christmas one, I can not get it to stay as a line when I bend it, it becomes a shape with the line straight on the top and the bottom of it bending and filled in. I have looked at all your settings and they are the same as mine. Can not figure out what is different to cause it to be a filled in shape rather than a line.
Congratulations on your sweet new baby!!!

Question: When you design in Inkscape to upload in DS, for example the adorable gnomes you made, are they supposed to be used for print then cut, or another project using other materials? I love the colors of each one, but unless they’re print then cut, it won’t matter the colors as you can make them whatever color you want when using cardstock, vinyl, etc. Am I making sense and thinking correctly or no? I’m trying to figure out what is the purpose of designing in Inkscape, other than creating something yourself.

That is amazing!

I have been buying mock up templates and just get so frustrated because when I go to set them up I don’t know the scale. This has been so helpful and I will be working on these for my own work soon. TYSM! Also, btw I’m a FAITHFUL and my hubs is from NY so woot woot !!!

Am I missing something. I feel stupid. Ive tried and tried. I can t get the letters to attach to the other circles again.
I have altered the text
Ive done path union to the name, date etc
Ive duplicated the squares
Selected the square and largest circle then done path difference (all good to here)
Then I hold shift and select name then path union but i cannot for the life of me get the name to attach to the first layer.

Ive watched and watched – what am i missing?

Hi Erica
When I do path union my letters are not changing colour and when I move the layer they all go together at first when I go back to move the letters are not attached

Hey Erica,
I couldn’t help but share this because it just blew my mind lol. I’ve been wanting to make this exact shadow box for a while now as I saw it on Pintrest but I just kept putting it off/couldn’t completely make up my mind on the exact gift I wanted to give my sister in law for the birth of her new little boy. Plus I am pregnant myself and have just had zero motivation. but then I saw your email and I was like okay it’s a sign I have to do it now. Then as I was going to edit it with Theodore’s stats I almost died from shock and laughter because literally the only thing I had to change was the name and month. everything else was the exact same except august instead of september lol.
Love the tutorial and thank you for finally getting me to complete this!

Hi Erica, My sister just had a baby so I’m trying this shadowbox for her. My issue is when I changed the date it move to the top of the circle instead of staying inside where the time of birth is. All i did was click the date and start typing and it moved. Help!

Sorry Erica I just watched the video that you already had linked.

It did. Thank you.

I am stuck – I have grouped my object – but when I go to dulicate it – it duplicates the entire project, circles and wording. What am I doing wrong???? I really want to make this..Kelley
