so I let him take more than!



 My daughter liked making a few as properly!

 After the punching, you use a sharpie and color in excess of the letters,
producing sure to get ink down in the impression you just manufactured!
 Then use a magic eraser to wipe the black sharpie off the leading of the washer...

 Leaving the imprint darkish.
Looks amazing!

 In "Text Style", choose your new monogram kk sc font!

 Now make the initial letter lowercase.

 Make the center initial, or in my situation the final title initial
 in upper situation as a individual letter...not linked to the very first letter

 And the very last letter reduce situation and separate
 from the other letters as properly.

 Now you can go the initials on the sides to
 overlap marginally with the large heart one...
the entwined component

 You'll see I experienced to marginally skew the "n" to make it seem correct.
Tweak them to your liking, then select all 3...

Make them as huge as you want your completed project to be...

 And although selected, simply click modify and WELD

 This will merge all the letters collectively and have it lower out as 1 graphic.

 Now have your Silhouette lower it out!
You can use vinyl, paper, cloth...whatever!

so I advocate making use of vinyl and transfer tape...but it even now works

This would make a great reward...maybe vinyl on a plate...or

a mug...or for the auto...or framed...excellent for a marriage ceremony present...

Beautiful, and entirely in my value selection!
