Under the weather...


The sun is finally shining here and I have come down with a dreadful cold.  I was fine yesterday morning, started with the sneezing and watery eyes last night and woke up feeling terrible.  Very little crafting was done today.  I do have things to share but, unfortunately, I have no energy to edit the photos and write up a "normal" post.  I can only hope that I recover as quickly as I caught this!


I have received several emails with questions about welding.  Welding is the key to the way I use my Cricut cartridges.  I usually work with Design Studio because it is easier to see and I prefer the speed of the computer for the complex welds that I like to make.  I sometimes forget that not everyone has been reading my blog since the beginning and since there is so much information in older posts that is helpful, I thought I post a few links to some of my tutorials and videos about welding.


There is a words and pictures post explaining welding HERE.   If you prefer videos, there is a list of Design Studio videos HERE. 


One of the things that is a little tricky is welding inside a frame - there is a video explaining how to do this HERE.


If you want to keep the detail or "webbing" cuts inside shapes that you weld together, you need to follow certain steps - this LINK will take you to the posts that explain how to do this. 

Blogger is giving me some trouble with the links so I hope that you will be properly directed - I'll try to check all of the links Saturday morning - while sipping tea and fighting off this nasty cold!

I hope you have a nice weekend!

    So sorry to hear that you're feeling bad. I hope you rebound quickly.Try some Cold-eze or zinc lozenges. They seem to help me when I have a cold.

    Of course, the Mother in me says you've been working too hard trying to keep up with this blog. You need to slow down and get well. Hope you are feeling better today.

    I hope you get to feeling better, soon! Summer colds are the worst. Thank you for the link on how to weld inside a frame. I've been trying to do that lately on my gypsy and couldn't get it to work. Now I'll try your idea of image first -- then frame. TFS.

    So sorry to hear that you're "under the weather." And just when your actual weather is warming up and drying out!

    Hope you get better real soon, Diane!

    hope you feel better soon. lots of tea and chicken broth.

    couldn't get the weld in a frame video working but could be blogger like you said--will check another day--no rush just curious if you knew something i hadn't discovered.

    tx for sharing all that you do; but slow down.

    Thanks for reposting the links to welding. I just downloaded the trial version and am trying my hand at it, but it seems to be hit and miss, so I definitely will be looking at your tutorial and learning the technique.
