create smart
My latest web app crush is squarely on Stencilizer, a cool online tool for automatically posterizing, smoothing, vectorizing and color separating photo input. Upload an optimized (clear, close up, cropped, background removed, high contrast) image and Stencilizer first presents you with 9 choices in various brightness levels and number of colors.
If you follow this blog you know I love web apps and I am always on the lookout for new and cool ones. Mariairie left me a comment a couple of days ago with a link to IcoMoon, an icon font generator for web developers. At first I didn’t understand it or see any application for us diecutters, but the more I played the more excited I got.
We have no grads this year, but last year’s file was so popular I decided to update.
I’ve created a vector version of the digipaper in my previous post. Great for a 12 x 12 background or modify it to fit a card front, etc.
This morning I completed my first athletic endurance event, an Olympic distance “AquaBike,” which consisted of swimming 1500 meters (almost a mile) and biking 40 kilometers (almost 25 miles).
Working on some graduation things today and wanted to share this one.
Note: This process is no longer needed because the latest versions of SCAL2 can save directly to svg. This post does show how to trace a screen shot so I will leave it up.
One of the advantages of using .svg files, as opposed to .scut files, is that you don’t need the font loaded for the file to cut.
Eleanor at the SVGShop (formerly Vendibles) Blog has a very ambitious goal to create a free SVG for every day for a year.
I’m heavy into the technicalities these days, but some of you may actually be interested in making things. Easter is right around the corner (or is that, just down the bunny trail) and I want to give you a link to some couldn’t-be-easier files as well as some awesome inspiration on decorating your cutouts.
