The key to my heart(s)

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought I would make an easy index of the heart svg files I have posted on my blog.  Just click on the images to go to the original post.  :)

Quick note to Pam

Here is a message I received from Pam:

I am thinking I want to get the upgrade to my SCAL program.
Do I need to buy the one with the CD or is the download good enough?
Also, if I have trouble with the download, are you there for help and questions?
Thanks, Pam

My response:

Hi Pam,

I would go with just the download, you can always burn your own backup CD if you want (or use a usb drive).  Whenever Craft Edge adds new features to SCAL they release an update, and any CD’s you have will become out of date.

You can send me any questions through my blog, but you will likely get a faster response through the SCAL forum.  They are a really great bunch of people and they’re always ready to help.  CE’s support is also very good and usually fast to respond.  Also, CE has some very nice video tutorials here.  http://www.craftedge.com/tutorials/tutorials.php

Airbrushing vinyl for my son’s Pinewood Derby car

Did you know that you can airbrush your vinyl with alcohol based art markers?  I found a video on YouTube where they used the Copic system to airbrush on vinyl.  I didn’t have the colors I needed for my project so I used some inexpensive art markers and a can of air with the air tube cut short and at an angle. I did have to seal my cheapo markers because the color had a tendency to scratch off, but in my case I wanted the gloss over the vinyl decal anyway.  I don’t think you would need to seal the Copic markers, but I would test it out before using them.  Here is my son’s Pinewood Derby car.  I used SCAL to cut all of the vinyl decals and then airbrushed the flames.  I think it turned out great!  :)

Scalloped and plain triangles

Here are two single layer svg files that can be used to create nested sets in SCAL1.  I also have a layered version of these triangles in this post.

The download is a zipped folder with svg files for use in either version of SCAL. These files are for personal use only. Feel free to link to this post, but the files are not to be shared or distributed in any way.

Download the files from here.
