Before I get to today's project I want to thank you all so much for the many nice comments on my blog yesterday and on Facebook about how much you enjoyed my little tutorial of how to use the Print 'n Cut feature on the Cameo. I had no idea it would get such a grand response. Therefore, today, I have another little tutorial for you on how to create a shadow for any object in the Cameo software. If there is something else you'd like more information on or a small tutorial (and I know how to do it), just ask, and I'll see what I can do. Again, thank you so much. The comments made my day. I'm glad I was able to help so many you.

Ready to see my project?
Lots of pictures coming up showing step by step
in the Silhouette Software of how I created
my own shadow for an image.
I'm no expert.
I only use a small percentage of what this
powerful program can do.
You may know an easier, better way to create
a shadow, but this is how I did it for this project.
First, here is my finished card.
Now......... all the fun steps to create the shadow......
Select an image to use.
I like to also drag and drop a photo of the image completed so I have a guide.
I colored all the parts with the eye dropper color match.
Then I "assembled" the parts layering them
just like I would after cutting my papers.
I copy and pasted my image before the next step!
Then I welded them and this created a solid outline of the exact finished image.
I use this when adhering my pieces together as a guide.
Click on the OFFSET button.
Select item to offset.
Click on offset.
Adjust distance to your preference.
Choose corner or rounded.
Click apply.
Take apart the layered pieces and lay them out on your mat for cutting.
Cut and assemble your pieces.
Layer on your shadow.
Add item to your project.
Voila!
'Tis complete.
Thanks for stopping by today!
