A few months ago Mommyish (Leah) released the Enamel Pin Builder and started a Pin Exchange.... which made a lot of us very happy and very addited to creating PINS! She also released an add-on with additional styles for your pins called Glittery Enamel Pin Styles. I will be the first one to say that I can't have enough of them! I can't WAIT to see all the pins from the exchange! AND.... I CAN'T wait to do this all over again this month! I sent Leah a private message to volunteer myself to run this challenge because I NEED to HAVE MORE PINS! This time we are going to follow a very loose theme.... drum roll please........ the theme is JULY & AUGUST & Favorite drinks/foods! Here in the states we are in the middle of the VACATION months. Most kids are out of school and most families take vacations or staycations during these few months. Just in case you have no clue about what product I am talking about that revolutionized our pin making skills, here it is: I am still working on June's PIN set, so please bear with me. How do I even make a pin?! Install the Enamel Pin Builder Styles & actions Watch the video tutorials for your program - if you are still unsure - hit me up here and I will be happy to help you out. . @angiekey created the following step by step instructions for those that like written instructions better. HERE Have an idea! If you aren't sure look up "enamel pin" on pinterest and you flooded with ideas. Get creative. <3 Use shapes, your brush tool, text, etc! Use other styles to create other interesting effects. Remember, since this is an item that will be shared with others - if you use outside graphics they have to be CU ok. Still unsure - watch this video! Drawing from scratch? Watch this one! How do I save my pin for other folks?! You will want to create a new document that is 300ppi in RGB format with a transparent background. Keep in mind that pins shouldn't be GIGANTIC - ideally you will want your pin to be smaller than 2 inches. (600 pixels) When you save your pin be sure to save it as a .PNG file (this maintains the transparent background) Save the file as username_tlp-xchange_pinname.png for example I'd save mine as mommyish_tlp-xchange_rainbow.png UPLOAD HERE I can not wait to see what you guys come up with! Try to limit yourself to no more than 5 pins Deadline is July 31st, 11:59pm EST
I am definitely going to play this month!! I've been wanting to do this every month since Mommyish created the pins - so this is the month!!
I posted this in the June thread even though it's late. So I thought I'd post it here, too. Wrong theme for this month, but I finally finished one that doesn't look half bad.
I got it DONNA! I am so excited that you joined! I haven't even started putting JUNE PINS together so you are right on time!
Let's see - I somehow am pre-guessing your themes. As I did a couple of food ones last month. Well, I will just have to find some more food...
