[@AdobeCreativeCloud]

Hi there! If you need any advice on that, come on down to the Forum & ask our experts about it. Let’s have a conversation here: [adobe.ly/3QY47Nm] ^Rohan

[@RobWaterman]

How was the second envelope mask on the "jam" copy accomplished? It looks like you just dragged the cursor over it and it did the same operation that required clicking through menu items.

[@SpeedandChromeTV]

Key Command,: Option, Command, C

On a Mac that is, google it for a PC

[@wyattearth4414]

"This requires a selection of multiple objects. The top object must be a single path or mesh..." How do I fix this please?

[@mohid1739]

Wouldn't work on mesh, it should be a single path or shape.

[@DanyalSarfrazAli]

make sure your shape is in the form of a stroke and it's on top of the text

[@willgray7968]

Select type-> type-> create outlines. Then make sure the circle is above the type object in your layers.

@@SpeedandChromeTV and what's the command in Adobe Illustrator for Windows?
