Have you ever engraved painted wood and then paint in the engraving? I'm trying to do this for a sign.
Great info thank you!
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.
I'm super new to Glowforge and your video is so helpful. I'm totally running to your other videos.
nicley done looks so cool
It makes friends like you a Keeper. Amazing ideas for little. I love it!!.
Aww...so sweet! Thank you!
Hi! If i buy a premade “hello” sign at hobby lobby, How do you suggest glueing it to the wood board?
I use CA Adhesive which is basically super glue.
Would love to see some tutorials on the Silhouette program, thanks, really enjoy your videos.
Great instructions!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
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.
I would also love the conical curve tutorial!
Here ya go! Hope this helps😊kzread.info/dash/bejne/c52GqduOkqSTZdI.html

I loved it TY
So cute!
I still want to be able to engrave on a mug
Me too!
Very creative 40's items! Love it!!
Love it going to make thank you 😊
Such great ideas 😊. My baby is going to be 10 months and im thinking of doing this as a tradition. ❤
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
I have heard of this and do want to try this method for my 2 layer ornaments.
You need better fume extraction and air assist
NO scissors use Exacto knife with cut pad and curved blade
Great tips. Cheers Just an idea - trimming the double sided tape with a staple against the board edge is easy compared to scissors.
does this work with glowforge aura
Abouslty Love ❤️ Them Love ❤️ your Opps As Well We All Have Them lol Great Job Thanks For Sharing ❤❤❤
Cat litter would work as a weight too

Thank you so much for this, I just did one right now I love it and I am going to send it as Thanksgiving gift baskets 💓
😅
Mine doesn’t show the squishy grid? Can you help on the side panel?
What version of Silhouette Studio do you have? I use business edition, so not sure if that's just for certain versions.
@@KeepCalmandCraftOn I’ll have to look. Do you have to pay for the business version?
Yes, you do have to pay a one time fee for that version, but it gives you access to all the features.
@@KeepCalmandCraftOn do I go to silhouette studio o and upgrade/buy?
Here's the link to the upgraded software. See which version is right for you. If you want to be able to work with SVGs, you'll need business edition. Totally worth it in my opinion! www.silhouetteamerica.com/software/ss#upgrade
Very clever!
Thank you! It was fun to create.😁
good morning I was wondering if I could get the code for the discount on Glowforge's website, please
Here ya go!😊 glowforge.us/r/PRGVXAZG
I’m having the hardest time connecting the words to attach still to the wood😩
Not sure what you mean?
WOW!!!,, great tips, thanks for your time...
thanks for the heart, could you teach me how to do reverse engraving on the Glowforge? To get the background cut away, thanks
Anything that's filled with a color in your design will engrave. If there's just a line with no fill color, that line will cut.
Very nice tutorial, nice techniques, is there a message in that ornament : )
You were very percise in your tutorial
TYI makes these baskets for gift & Easter baskets but i add a pool noodles for a handle I also line the basket with fairy lights and a fabric lining that matches the ribbon. I love embellishing the pool noodle handle. It’s like decorating a half wreath.
Did you get the foam board at Dollar Tree? Sorry if I missed it. Thank you!
Yes, I did
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!😀
