I received a nice comment from Tammy asking how I created the label for the Valentine Treat bag. So Tammy, this is for you (and anyone else who may be wondering). I tried to keep the pictures small, but you can click on them and they will enlarge if you need a closer look.
Of course you need to purchase and download The Sweetest Ever Valentine template. Open MDS and create a new project. Choose Multiple Output Option. Select 8-1/2x11 Portrait setting. Choose Designer Template. Select Sweetest Ever Valentine Template. This is what Page One will look like.
Step One: Delete everything off the page except the part that we will be working with.
Step Two: Move the words and frame away from the background. Group them together to make it easier to keep together. Also group together the background paper but leave it where it is.
Step Three: Duplicate the background and move it below the first box.
Step Four: Return the words and frame to the original position.
Step Five: Use the square label punch to cover the portion that you don't want to print.
Step Six: Fill the punches with the same color as the background paper (in this case, Whisper White). This helps conserve printer ink.
Step Seven: Use the square punch again to add a little extra pink CS to the sides. I used the color picker to get an exact match.
Step Eight: Change the color of the side punches to pink. I used the color picker to get an exact match. Now select everything and group it so that nothing gets messed up. You may want to fill the other portion of the page with other elements so that you don't waste your expensive matte photo paper.
That's it. How this helps!
