It's Sabrina here with your end-of the month challenge today.The
3D Word Dies is an older tutorial but one that hasn't featured here in the TLC challenge - and now most of us have so many more word dies to choose from, so I thought it be a fun technique to feature.
NOTE: This is
NOT cutting three or four layers and stacking them up. You'll need to pull out pencils or pens and a ruler this week, to create something a little like the dropped shadows in Microsoft's WordArt. Who doesn't remember those?
Please don't tag your card for this challenge unless you have used Dina's tutorial linked below ;-), although you may of course combine it with popping your word up if you wish.
- You can find the 3D WORD DIES tutorial by Dina in our Tutorials section HERE
My two top tips - pay attention to the fact that Dina says to keep all the little bits from inside the letters. You WILL need them. Note also that she says to draw from each each point and the bottom of each curve along the bottom line of the die-cut. You'll get the best 3D effect if you do this: in my haste, I missed that point in my first sample, which is in the gallery but not linked in this thread.
- You can find the Technique Spotlight gallery for the technique HERE, and I hope by the end of this week it will have at least doubled in size. Remember to choose Technique Spotlight from the first dropdown option, and 3D Word Dies from the second menu. We really truly appreciate it when you take the time to do this.
