    I recently released a new product - Enamel Pin Builder! I instantly thought of how fun it would be to have a digital pin exchange! How would this work, you ask? Keep on reading!

    [​IMG]

    How do I even make a pin?!
    • Install the Enamel Pin Builder Styles & actions (marked down 20% for the month)
    • 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. :)
    • 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!
    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 it here!

    I can not wait to see what you guys come up with! Try to limit yourself to no more than 5 pins :D

    Pick Up your Pins HERE!

    This sounds fun! I think some MOC pins would be great ... kinda like my signature with which years I participated. I'll put my thinking hat on!

    Funny that this just popped up in my Facebook feed...

    https://rotofugi.com/collections/enamel-pins

    This is a store that's about a block from my house. Amazingly fun place to shop... and apparently they have enamel pins! Thought I would post the link for inspiration.

    Oh this is such a great idea! I picked up the Enamel Pin Builder when it was released but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet! Now I just need to think of a pin to make...

    All the style sin the builder should work in early versions of PSE. I'm not certain on the actions - but since the actions are more "utility" you don't need them to build the pin.

    Thanks! You know me and hedgehogs! I'm having trouble with action not working (PSE11) even on the tester... so I'm going to try to delete and re-install.......
