This week I received an email from Gillian asking how to create a text topper where the text is drawn and the topper is cut. This is quite simple however I didn’t seem to be able to put this into written words well so I decided to make a video of it.

It really is quick and simple and once you know how you will be creating toppers galore!

This process works with all types of type – no pun intended. By this I mean that you can use the logos, fonts in canvas workspace, text from the True Type Converter or indeed even use the desktop version of canvas workspace to type with your fonts directly onto the toppers.

In the video, I show you a few of these different uses and also show you how to then go on and make duplicates of your design.

I hope that it comes in useful.

Ok, that’s most of the housekeeping out of the way but just before I show you the video, please let me share with you a few links relating to this blog post.

Ok, I hope that you enjoyed that and will make use of it in the near future.

I would love to see what you create if you do follow this tutorial.

Also, of course, please feel free to leave any comments or questions below this post and I will do my best to get back to you.

In the meantime, thanks for watching and I will see you again next time.
