I've been asked a lot lately about the snowflakes I used to have posted, and the tutorial for the font download and whatnot, so here it is.
Go to http://www.p22.com/free/snow.html and follow directions for the font download. Unzip your files, and drag and paste to your font folder in settings from your computer's start menu.
Go to Word, and drop down the font and start typing. Figure out which ones you like best, and blow them up, shrink them down, whatever you want until you get the right size. Remember, capitalizing adds different flake styles.
Print out, cut out, lay under a sheet of parchment and go to town on them with your RI and different size tips. Sprinkle them with disco dust, luster dust, prism flakes, whatever you like before they dry.
If you have made your RI the right consistency, and have allowed them to dry properly, they shuold not stick to your parchment. They almost float on top of the paper once they are dry, and will slide right off.
This pic shows some of the styles, but certainly not all. Have fun!
Going to download right now
I've never used disco dust before. Do you have any recommendations on which kind to get? Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Hey Jamie...
thanks so much! I had just posted the other night about how to do snowflakes.. yours look like exactly what i'm lookin for! Thanks a lot, it's appreciated
Jamie I have a winzip program that unzips stuff and this can't be unzipped and saved into a location I can open my fonts program and pop it in there. I have to save it in a specific folder and I am stumped. I can see where it needs to go but when I try to go from the other end and save it there it won't accept it. IDK
Go to where you save the file. Click open and then select the PSS file and open it. It opens to show you the file. On the right hand side there is properties and click that. On the bottom of the screen there is and unblock. Click that and save you can now load them into your font file. Vista is blocking the file from being loaded. HTH
nope and I know what the issue is. When my pc crashed last year I had a friend restore it all and he is a teckie geek and said hey i took off the stuff you don't really need that slows things down... yeah I know just the stuff! the idiot proff click this to do that wizard! My pc was a pc for dummies and he made it all smart and I don't know what I am doing in here...LOL
yes i am sorry.. i am having trouble downloading it... i'm sorry
Ah....well, really if you don't have access to the font, any snowflake template will work. It's basic piping with royal icing on top of parchment paper that has a picture of something underneath that you are "tracing"....let it dry...and you have a nice royal icing shape.
