You guuuuuuyyyyyysssssss!!!!! It’s like Christmas Morning with this tutorial 🥰 I loved that Kim was the one doing it because even though Garrett is an AMAZING teacher, Kim showed us what not to do sometimes and that’s where the real gold is at. I’m happy that we got to learn how to make score marks and how to do multi layers. This “simple” tutorial is going to be be watched over and over by me alone. LOVE IT! thank you thank you!!!!! Gracias! Grazie! Merci! Danke! obrigada! Σας ευχαριστώ!
Thank you Helen!!! 🥰
Yes! More tutorials please. Love you guys! ❤
Thanks Lisa!
I would absolutely love to see how you did the pine wreath and the buffalo plaid from start to finish. Loved the tutorial! You guys are awesome! Thank you.
I would love to see more ways to make design files in Adobe Illustrator. 🤗
Started the replay and it was so interesting i had to save it to watch when I'm actually awake enough to absorb it in my old brain😂. It is on my list of musts to watch tomorrow.
You guys are amazing am graphic design student and now am about to open my small business because of you guys thank u so much keep going ❤
Aw what! Thats great to hear. keep it up!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the AI tutorial! Thank you! I got Illustrator about a month ago and have been trying to learn it so this is great. Please do more! 🙏🏼
IM SOO EXCITED TO SEE YOU GUYS!!! Just started the video… just had to say how happy I was to see your name in the notifications! I have no doubt that this video will be very informative, and with a K&G flair that we all LOVE! 💗 Maybe it will help me not be so scared of adobe! I hope you all had a fantastic vacay!!
Thanks Candace!!! We had an amazing trip! Just got home, glad to be back!
You two are such a good team.
Kim and Garrett, thanks to you guys I just recently invested in my Glowforge Pro and is expected to arrive on Saturday. Needless to say since the time of ordering I have been watching countless videos and tutorials to help me hit the ground when it arrives (providing there is no damage upon arrival to the packaging or device, fingers crossed) I did make sure to use your guys referral code (thank you for that by the way) I appreciate everything that you guys do for curious minds such as my own to help us adapt new skills and ways to improve and motivate our entrepreneurship.
Yes, enjoy the adobe tutorials!
Great job
Thank you for this!
Great tutorial!! Excited to give it a try!
Illustrator looks easy to use. I currently use Inkscape and it can be frustrating at times. More tutorials would be awesome. Thanks guys!
Great tutorial! Can you do one that teaches how to create single line graphics?
That's so cool watching how you set this up 😎
Great job!
Love your videos!
This was fantastic, I really needed tutorial for this. Want very much to learn how to design myself.
Amazing tutorial. Please put the unfinished version in your shop. Love it. I know I’d purchase several of them.
Thank you so much!! Followed step by step and I was able to do it…YAY ME!! Please do more tutorials 🙏
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the great video. I wonder why you applied to CREATE OUTLINES on the texts.
Please make a tutorial about how to set up the file in Illustrator on how you make your standing inner locking Christmas trees. It doesn't have to be a Christmas tree, it could be anything. Thanks for all your amazing tutorials. 👏
Great tutorial. Can you do something like this for the xtool? In painting your MDF do you prime or seal it first or just go direct with the paint and seal after done? What’s the difference in time between the glowforge and xtool to cut the project?
Hi Tina! This file can be used for the xTool as well! I'm not sure you can do this design in the xTool software, it's more for importing svgs like thos or creatinf simple text. And we just paint the mdf as is. If we use chalk paint we seal it with Polycrilyc afterward. If we use exterior house paint we don't seal it at all.
Very good tutorial guys! It really helps to see Kim walk through everything with Garrett there to reinforce and explain what she is doing! Nice way to teach! I have been learning Illustrator and Photoshop for the last 6 mnths so that I can create my files for laser cutting. I have a new OM Tech 60 Watt with Lightburn. So would I just create my files in Adobe and assign RGB colors there and then export to Lightburn? It would be awesome to see you guys bring in some clipart and prepare it for cutting!
Please make more tutorials for AI! I've owned it a year and am not sure how to use it. This video really was helpful!
I was wondering, do you just use Illustrator or do you other programs from Abode? Check to see if I should buy more then just Illustrator?
Got lost at 16:47 area where he was instructing you what to do there. Can you explain that portion please?
This is awesome. I would love to know if this sort of thing could be made on the Cricut Maker. Maybe not on such thick material but hoping there is something out there that could replicate a similar outcome.
hmm maybe!
Thank you so much for the video! Does the Homework font come with Illustrator or did you purchase it somewhere? Can't find it on Illustrator.
Never mind LOL figured it out :)
The download is free, but in the end you have to pay to make use of the application right?
My Illustrator won't open the file :( Is there anyway to get an SVG of the round with the ribbon holes in it?
New subbie here. What type of wood material did you use and how thick?
👍🏼❤️🤗
Kim, I need this. My granddaughters name is Gentry. I need a Barrett also. Do you sell this so I could paint?
Yes! We have them in our store as monogrammed door hangers: kandgmakeit.com/products/monogram-welcome-door-hanger-unfinished-kit
@@KimandGarrettmakeit Kim would I be able to get their names or just initial? Just like what you just made? Guess part of what I’m asking is if you do individual name requests?
Welcome back to reality lol. Hope you had a wonderful vacation.
Can you do a video on Inkscape?
ooh maybe!
When I export my file it doesn’t upload to the correct scale? What did I do wrong??? Awesome tutorial though!
I didn’t have the export settings correct, I figured it out!!! Haha
