This is for our twinchie swap that is due tomorrow. My swap partner, Dena, chose Nancy Drew for her theme. I learned that the first series of books always had a silhouette in orange, so I used that idea as my inspiration.
I first used my InkScape program to prepare the silhouette for cutting. It changes the format into a svg file (scalable vector graphic) suitable for cutting. I'm not a geek. That's all I know about that. Next, I used my Sure Cuts A Lot program to cut the silhouette. No need for a pricey cartridge ladies! I cut two different sizes to see which I liked best. I cut the silhouette Six times and very *carefully* glued each layer to get a thicker piece. I like the final result, because it looks like a thick piece of wood in real life.
Inchie - I made an inchie booklet and added Dena's name. Be sure to check out the other photo to see what's on the inside. *snort*
Charms - Our favorite detective has to have the proper tools, so the metal charms were ordered on the internet. - from the Sleuth Shop of course!
So there ya go, Ms. Dena!
Thanks for taking a look.
