Scrapbook Title in Inkscape using Crafts By Two Font Art Tutorial

While I've been working on my album for 2003 I've been learning how to use Inkscape so I can design some of my own titles and cutting files to use with my Cricut Explore.

In a previous post I went over the tutorials from Crafts By Two using colouring pages to make your own cutting files for personal use.  

I made another cutting file this week for my Christmas pages and love how it turned out.

Here are my finished files imported into Cricut Design Space and ready to cut.  

I used another great tutorial on Font Art from Crafts By Two to make my own title in Inkscape.

I started off in Inkscape using Waltograph Font & Alex Brush Script Font.

I typed out my words and positioned them where I wanted them. 

Then following the tutorial I made the different shadow layers.  

Once it was finished I imported my svg file into Cricut Design Space.  

I made a duplicate of it so I could add the two gifts shadow layers to the title.

I also duplicated the gift images because when you weld it all together it becomes just one layer.

I cut out all the different title layers and gift layers and glued them all together.

I used foam tape on the title piece to pop it up from the base layer.

I used CTMH Black, Glacier & Cranberry Cardstock along with CTMH Snowhaven patterned paper.  I had a scrap of CTMH Silver glitter cardstock that I used to back the gift on the left.

Here is my finished title - ready to add to my scrapbook page.

I love how precise the Cricut Explore cuts - the word "from" and Pluto's tail are very fine cuts and cut beautifully.
