One of our members made a tutorial for embie making but I cannot locate it right now.

You can easily make embies from shapes. To do this:

• Click on the Paper Scrap button
• Select a paper which you would like to use
• Click into the Custom Shape box
• Click on Select
• Go to one of the folders, for example Object
• Click on a shape, for example the heart
• Click OK
• Give it a shadow if you wish
• While still in the properties box, click on the Advanced tab
• Click on Adjust Colour box to experiment with the sliders, click on the Relative boxes for more variations
• Click OK when you have a colour scheme you are happy with
• While your shape is still selected right click to save it as a PNG in an embellishment folder

Now bring it into the page as an embellishment. Right click on it and you will see that you have the Effects option on your pop up menu. Try Emboss for a completely new effect. If you like the new effect, you can save it as a new embellishment. Go to Advanced for more effect options.

I hope this will get you started - have fun!
