Other than using photoshop (don't have it and don't have a desire to learn it at this point), is there a way to add journaling to a digital journaling card prior to printing? I use my silhouette software the resize and print individual png versions of cards. I tried adding a text box once, and even though it looked right on the screen it didn't print the text I added. Anyone know an easy way for a digitally challenged girl to do it?

I use my Silhouette. I am quite a novice but I think if it doesn't show up you can right click and click bring to front.
Sorry thats the only thing I can think of right now!

It does not print until you fill it with color. I LOVE using my Silhouette Studio software for print projects. You can do a truly amazing amount of design with it and then print. Pattern fills, etc. The fine red line will not print. You can set it to no color, but it won't print, unless you thicken the line weight.  |

You can use the line color to add more to your text if you want... it will print once you increase your line thickness.. Open the Line panel. Choose the Line color to change the line color  Then you can choose the Line Style to change the thickness of the line, and the position - I put the line/outline behind the original text and then thickened it up quite a bit.  You can also fill your text with patterns. I found a red glitter background. Layed it over my text. Selected both the text and the glitter and cropped it..  |

IF you have a smartphone and IF it is Apple, Letterglow is an app that will allow you to do that.

Thanks for the silhouette studio tips iowgirl & sunny1016! I will have to try that again and see what I was doing wrong before. Thanks for the other tip teacherlisa. I am an iPhone user; so I will have to check that out too! |

Love using my Silhouette for digital projects - in fact I use it more than the cutting function. Since the latest update, the cutting function is "iffy".
