    Have you ever engraved painted wood and then paint in the engraving? I'm trying to do this for a sign.

    That also is my favorite wrapping paper! I bought mine at TJ Maxx. It’s rather thick and shiny so I hope mine looks as good as yours. Thanks for the idea. I love your bow too! I have trouble with bows. This makes it look so much easier.

    Sorry to be a grammar cop, but this might be helpful for future signs. If you're telling people that The Reimans live in a place called "Lake House," you don't need the apostrophe. It's two nouns in a row. If you're telling them that this is the lake house the Reimans own, it's The Reimans', because their name is now an adjective. If the family's name ends with an 's' and they live there, you'd use an apostrophe followed by another 's', The Jones's, and if you're saying they own the house, it's The Jones'. The difference is between the nature of the name being used, whether it's the possessing people or an adjective describing the possessed thing. By saying "The Reiman's" you're actually saying that there's one person named or titled 'Reiman' who owns the house, as in "The King's Castle" being a place Charles controls even if he doesn't live there.

    you probably won't ever see this but one simple trick for things like this when you make a lot of them. On the very first set make a box outside of the ornament with some space like 1/2" bigger on all sides, I just like having a square but that's up to you. After you get done with the first set if you take the box pieces and glue them together they make a very good jig for laying the intricate party face down inside then slowly adding the backing, this way they never get offset even the slightest

    Thanks for sharing ... I have a much better understanding of kerf now. It was awesome how you used the marker, a sticky note and the calculator to demonstrate. I am so glad I found your video today! I use a diode laser and lightburn, but I think I should be able to make the same changes in the software.. Great video!😀
