[@donnadavis6968]

I am a little late to the bridging fun, :). Your video IS the best, most helpful, and easy to follow!! Thank you so very much for posting this!! I am so thankful you have never taken it down!

[@susanmynyk5601]

Wow!! You are an outstanding teacher!! LOVE this tutorial!

[@vlwindham]

So thankful to have found you!!!!!!! Thank you for your time and sharing your tutorial!!!!

My pleasure! So glad to help! I've been on vacation for a few weeks but hope to get new videos up in the next week or two.

@@creatingcookiestencilsinde2261 I'm a newbie and I was getting so frustrated with making stencils and silkscreens until I found you! Granted, I have a lot to learn, but you are pleasant and so much easier to understand. I hope to be able to master the silkscreen with color layers.

You actually don’t need to create a shape, copy, paste, etc. Simply use the reader tool and erase the area where you want the bridges.

Hey Nancy. This video helped a lot but I’d there anyway to see one that is cut? I feel like it’s going to look weird when you air brush it.

Hi there! If you look at The Cookie Countess website, her stencils are bridged and she has a lot of pictures of what they look like on cookies. I typically make silkscreens for my personal use if bridges would be needed to make it in plastic. I like the clean look without the bridges. 😊Kristi

Oh wow this was an amazing tutorial. I’m so glad I found you. Bridging made easy! Thank you! The only question I have is for the lower case “ i “ Would you bridge the circle or let it fall out once printed

[@creatingcookiestencilsinde2261]

Hi there! Thank you! I would let the circle fall out ;)

Thank You for the video, I use the silhouette cameo, but it gives me an Idea of how to make a stencil on silhouette.

Paola Tapia I’m glad it helps :)

How about a cursive font? Can you make a video on that? Thanks so much! 🥰❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼

[@creatingcookiestencilsinde2261]

I don’t know if I have any cursive bridging as part of another video. If I think of one I’ll let you know. Otherwise I’ll add it to my list of videos to make. 😊

Okay, I get the bridging...thank you but when I go to try and cut it, it is at the very top of my mat and doesn't cut go down far enough where I want to cut it...what am I doing wrong?

[@jarobinson38501]

What font is that you are using? Thank you for your very helpful videos! They have really helped me expand my skills and help get more orders.

[@creatingcookiestencilsinde2261]

You’re most welcome! I’m so glad you’re finding them helpful. I believe this is a system font from my laptop. It’s AR Cena.

[@annharrison4757]

What width is good to use for the bridges please.

[@creatingcookiestencilsinde2261]

Depending on the image, I often make them the same thickness (or thinner) than the line I’m creating a bridge through.

[@karenmckenzie8465]

You’re the best.

[@creatingcookiestencilsinde2261]

Thank you :)

help it will not let me slice

[@creatingcookiestencilsinde2261]

Kelly Hood Hi there! Design Space will not allow you to slice any more than 2 single items at a time. When you type a word it will be “group”ed letters to form the word. A grouping counts as multiple items. In your layers panel you will need to “ungroup” them and then slice the individual letters.

[@63cheermom]

ugh mine is not slicing

[@creatingcookiestencilsinde2261]

Usually if SLICE isn’t an option it’s because more than 2 items are chosen or 1 of the items is part of a GROUP. SLICE is only available for 2 single items.
