Need a quick Banner for an event? Make something like this:
I chose a simple font (Times New Roman) and sized my letters to 9.5″ tall. Then I selected each letter individually and used Transform>Contour Object to create a mask around letters (I used 5 as my contour setting).
I decided to create a web on the interior of the P and created it free-hand using the pencil tool and then thickening the lines I created. Once I had a “web” that I was satisfied with, I welded my web to the outlined P shape.
Next I created “cat eyes” in my O’s. This was a simple task completed by adding a diamond in the interior of the O and welding everything together.
I keep my 15″ KNK Maxx settings at Overcut 15 & Trailing Blade 20 because I only use my machine to cut paper.
See other projects I’ve created with my KNK on the KNK Gallery on my website at susan mast designs.

I really like your banner. We are having a Halloween Baby Shower this weekend and something like this would be awesome. I will give it a try.
