how can you change the happy galentine day to another saying / and have the heart still under neath the writing////HELP HELP HELP

[@crafty_lou7]

Excellent question. To remove the words, you can go into the layers panel (on a computer that is the panel on the right, on mobile, go to the bottom of your screen and find "layers"), find the words and delete them. (click on them "delete" on computer, click on the words and then click on the trash symbol on mobile). To add your own, you will need to select a writing font of your choice and then just type your new sentiment. Next, place it on the area of the card where you want it to write and then select your card and your text and then click on "attach". Make sure that only your card and your text are selected. You don't want to have any of the other pieces attached to your card.

[@deborahcannon2403]

hi Louise, I love your Easter larger Galentine handbag. It says in the description that it will deboss parts of it but when I click make it all the layouts just say basic cut & score. I want to practice debossing technique on some scrap paper before i use my good paper. How do I make it do that just for the white embellishment part. I know how to hide the parts I don't want to cut but as I said non of the parts has deboss as one of the tasks it will complete. I have the debossing tool but never used it

[@crafty_lou7]

In my file, I have embossed my card stock using a 3D embossing folder and an embossing machine. I used this technique for both the original Galentine Handbag and for the larger Easter Version. I did toy with a similar pattern as you see on this Galentine version on this file design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/61f9abdf867d29764d65c638 using the debossing tool on my Maker machine. You can open this file, copy the debossed panels that you find and paste them into the handbag file. Then you will have to size them to match the pieces that you wish to deboss. It does not give the exact same effect but it does create some dimension and interest to your card stock. Also, if you enter the word “pattern” in the search field when you go into images, you will find all sorts of designs that you can use to created debossed effects. I find that the debossing works best of thick card stock or even Kraft board.

Hi Jodie! It depends what kind of Cricut Machine that you have. If you have the Maker, (Original or 3) you will need either the scoring wheel or the scoring stylus. If you have a Cricut from the Explore Series, you will need the scoring stylus. There is a lot of scoring and folding in this design, so I do recommend using your Cricut to score. The stylus is not too expensive and is a very handy tool to own if you are interested in Paper crafting with your Cricut.

@@crafty_lou7 ok, I'll try that. Thank you!

[@lesleydickson7746]

I love this but I have a Scan n Cut. Don’t judge me. ☺️Would you ever make this file as an SVG. 🤔

[@marcinhomar7144]

Thank you so much for this. Where did you get your white paper? It’s beautiful.

[@crafty_lou7]

It is white shimmer card stock from Michael’s. I have put it in a 3D embossing folder and ran it through my embossing machine. The embossing folder is called “studded leather”.

[@vistisen1]

Did your white paper already have a design on it or did you use a tool to put it on?

[@dejaskeen9330]

Do you have the link to the larger galentine bag?

[@crafty_lou7]

The larger one is Easter themed kzbin.info/www/bejne/mobHooyho7arhpo

Hi! I am creating my gorgeous handbag now, for a friend's birthday. I found you on the Cricut community. I don't think my side pieces (of the purse) have the bottom piece that you glue to the base of the handbag. Did I do something wrong? I checked to make sure I have all the score lines in place, but I will check again. Thanks!!

[@crafty_lou7]

In my file, the bottom of the bag is positioned between both side pieces. It is a rectangular pieces with tabs on on four sides. Those tab pieces are folded upwards along the score lines and adhered to the front back and side panels.

[@twhite5403]

Thank you!! I will check now and finish my first bag. Thank you!!

What kind of glue do you use... Luv thee bagsa

[@crafty_lou7]

Thank you Shannon! I like either Art Glitter Glue (it contains no glitter) or Bearly Art Precision craft Glue. I like to pour my glue into the little precision tip applicator bottles that you see in the video. The ones that I prefer have silicone caps. I can find everything on Amazon.

[@michelewehby7587]

I’m having a hard time finding your file😢 I’m in Cricut community typing “galentine” am I doing something wrong?

[@crafty_lou7]

What happens when you click on the link that is in the description box below the video.

[@dorisstott4310]

Where do you find the pattern, please

[@crafty_lou7]

I have shared the project in Cricut Design Space, so it is a Cricut machine file. If you click on the link in the description box below the video, it should bring you to Design Space and give you the option to customize or make the file. Choose customize and save it under the filename of your choice.

[@larrypewitt1186]

love it!! what is the white stick that you use to press the glued areas together?

[@crafty_lou7]

I use a teflon bone folder, also called a paper creaser or folder. It's a very versatile and useful tool. Mine is just from Amazon.

[@larrypewitt1186]

@@crafty_lou7 thank you

[@annettebecker9719]

What kind of glue do you have in the little bottle?

[@crafty_lou7]

I either use Art Glitter Glue (there is no glitter in it, that is just its name) or Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. I get the empty bottles on Amazon and fill them with glue.

[@allisongorham7389]

Is there a Part one to this project?

[@crafty_lou7]

No. The instructions are for assembly only. Do you have any questions about cutting the file?

[@allisongorham7389]

@@crafty_lou7 I haven't looked at file yet...I will. Thank you

[@annettecarter6046]

Yes. I am struggling trying to figure out what color is which piece on the mats. The assembly looks fairly easy. It is the cutting out that is confusing with which color

[@ameliatolson8500]

Hola….what is the best glue to use?

[@crafty_lou7]

I like Art Glitter Glue or Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. I decant them into precision tip applicator bottles.

[@louisesandlund4015]

I absolutely love this handbag. May I ask what the name is for the embossing folder? I sooo love the pattern. Also thank you so much for the great tutorial.

[@crafty_lou7]

Thank you so much Louise! The 3D embossing folder is called “Studded Leather” and it is either by Crafter’s Companion or Gemini, but many other companies sell a very similar style.
