Step 1: CREATING YOUR TEMPLATE
WHEN YOU BEGIN MAKING MOST ITEMS IF YOU ARE CUTTING THEM , WE NEED SOME SORT OF TEMPLATE TO START WITH, SO LETS START THERE.
YOU WILL OPEN YOUR SHAPES AND CHOOSE AN OVAL ,AFTER YOU HAVE YOUR OVAL PLACED YOU WILL UNLOCK THE DIMENSIONS IN ORDER TO MAKE YOUR OVAL (OR SHAPE OF YOUR CHOOSING) APPROX. 11X6.5 INCHES TO PROVIDE ENOUGH ROOM FOR FOOTPRINTS.
Step 2: ADDING YOUR BINDING HOLES
ONCE YOU HAVE GOT YOUR OVAL OR SHAPE OF CHOOSING TO THE COORECT SIZE, YOU WILL THEN CREATE A CIRCLE THAT WILL BECOME THE HOLES YOUR BINDER RINGS GO THROUGH TO HOLD YOU FOOTPRINT PAGES TOGETHER. ( IT IS MUCH EASIER TO CREATE ONE CIRCLE THE CORRECT SIZE YOU NEED FOR YOUR BINDER RING SIZE OF CHOICE AND THEN USE THE ARRAY FUNTION TO EVENLY DISTRUBUTE 3 COLUMNS EVENLY . ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR 3 CIRCLES YOU WILL USE THE ALLIGN BUTTON TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CENTERED AND THEN MOVE THEM ABOUT A ¼ OF AN INCH FROM THE LEFT EDGE.
Step 3: SAVE YOUR TEMPLATE
WHEN YOU ARE MAKING ITEMS FROM SCRATCH IT IS ALWAYS SUPER HELPFUL TO ALSO SAVE JUST A BLANK VERSION SO YOU CAN HAVE THESE STEPS DONE WHEN YOU GO TO CREATE YOUR OTHER DESIGNS FOR OTHER HOLIDAYS, EVENTS ECT. SO GO CLICK SAVE AND SAVE AS FOOTPRINT BOOK TEMPLATE FOR THIS ONE (:
Step 4: DESIGN,DESIGN DESIGN
I THEN PICK OUT MY FONTS AND BEGIN PLACING THEM WHERE THEY GO , USING THE ALIGN BUTTON TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE TRULY EVEN SO WHEN YOU GO TO CUT YOU DONT FIND OUT THEY ARE NOT PLACED CORRECT AND WASTE MATERIAL . WITH THIS PARTICULAR ITEM BEING FOR A BOOK YOU WANT TO THINK OF DESINGS THAT WILL POP WITHOUT TO MUCH EXTRA . FOR THIS DESIGN I DECIDED I WOULD MOSTLY ENGRAVE THE WRITTING AND ONLY CUT OUT MY CARROT TOPS TO CREATE A MORE DRAMTIC AFFECT.
