January 6: Shape cut out of element

Fun challenge and fun pages so far.
It is hard to see but column 2 the blue square has a star shape.

 

It was my pleasure to help Kitty.. it is was I love to do I like helping people learn new things. I love the way your page came out too!

 

oh wow some amazing pages, girls!!!!!!!!!!!! love to see all this creativity !!!!

now, I am curious about this...I keep seeing many of you, some of you I know to be experienced scrappers, saying that this was a tough one but you loved learning something new (and you got some awesome pages!!!!)
n my program this can be done so very easily (maybe that is why I cried when I first tried to learn Photoshop years ago .. I am thinking if I cried in my 40 something.... how much will I cry and collpase now I am 60 !!!???!!!


My question is: Does Photoshop or PSE not have an eraser tool?
in my program, if I want to do this without actually cutting, which wont be precisely hard but time consuming and I would have to group the text many times to be able to use the scissors tool.... I would go for grabbing an element of a cutout, say one of Scrapping with Liz's Cutouts, lay it in the page, and erase inside?
can you guys not do that in Photoshop? @cfile? @jenn mccabe @jk703 ?
Anne Mieke, I am looking forward to make this page!
in my program, Craft Artist Professional by Serif, if I don't want to cut (as I said, is time consuming), I can grab the eraser tool ad start erasing of what I don't want of the text....
@Angela Toucan @KarenB @Nemla have you made it already, this page? I ll check your galleries later, but I think for us is super easy, right?

anyway, will be back with a page, you have all inspired me to make this !!!!!!!

 

and you did it for years way before being Polly, you are amazing!!!!!!!!!! <3
I need some sleep, but will be back in a couple of hours

 

I've done it Cynthia, and It's very quick and easy in Craft Artist.
I used a ready made text overlay - drew a quick shape on top. Selected the overlay and the shape then clicked subtract in the cropping menu (in the bottom right-hand corner). If you are using real text, then select all the text and convert to bitmap first, then draw the shape

 

<blushing> Thank you Cynthia!

 

@MrsPeel I typed my text, then converted it to a picture. Then punched out a shape - simples

 

oh yeah!!!! I sometimes when I want to do text and cut around or inside like this, I make it in two or three texts, then group, then cut and group again, but that is a much better way, make it into a picture!!!!! <3 Karen, we need to make some time to catch up!!! Huggzzzz

 

Hope that you can see the knife/fork cut out on the journaling:

 

So, I said that at 12:57 (almost 1pm my time) and is now 22:16... my time concept is rather stretched LOL
I slept but not quiet enough, but will get the page done soon Anne Mieke!!!!!!

like I said to @KarenB , it makes sense!!! we have it very very easy I think!!!! I wish they didn't stop making Craft Artist!!!!

truth needs to be said!! I remember saying to Laura you wsere a much better Polly than I even when you weren't a Polly!!!!! and @KittyY you are always in my heart , don't think I say it often enough!!!!!

 

Yes it does have an eraser. But if you have your selection loaded and press delete - it wipes it out in one quick swoop. Or to be non destructive you use a mask. I admit I didn't read the instructions bc I can do this in my sleep. So not sure what the initial instructions say to do even.
Using an eraser is like using a brush - so you'd brush away what you don't want with the Eraser tool in PSCC. Takes a little longer in my opinion but you'll have the same results! Or you'd create a brush in the shape you want. Grab the eraser tool with that brush selected and erase in one swoop that way. Alwyas so many ways to do the same thing!

 

Text from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling -- a story about another weird little boy.

 

I redid my day 6 shape cut out of an element. The shape is a heart. All of the goodies I use are being posted in the thread with all of my pages.

 

This was a fun challenge, thank you, I used a star cut out in my journaling.

 

This one took me almost 2 days to complete. I accidentally got the Cut Out to work, but couldn't repeat it! I still don't know how I did it. My computer got a virus, and I had to buy a new computer with a new version of Photoshop CC. The changes in it are causing me a little more time and stress! Whew!

MOC7 - Jan 6 - Shape Cut out
This is NOT my best work, but I need to move on.
