Hack of the Week No.89

Valentine's day is under a week away and you say you don't have a gift for that special someone?  Well this little "Hack of the Week" is just what the love doctor ordered!   

This "You hold the key to my heart"  layout, perfect for a desk ornament, wall plaque or boxtop was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is call:  Printina

A Little Something Extra

We have included a link to download the "Free to Anyone" vector outlines (.dxf format) for the interlocking hearts you can see in our layout.  Now you can add them to your own projects. They're easy and fast to V-Carve in your Vectric software!

Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8 for presentation purposes.  It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8 or VCarve Desktop.

Why not hack together your own layout mixing and matching models from other projects or from your own library!  For some great inspiration check out our  hacks page!

Customer Focus - Love Potion Bottle by Don Harding

One of our regular contributors of finished projects, Don Harding, came up with this very simple project that we thought should be shared seeing as Valentine's Day is just a week away!  

 

This is such a great use of the wine bottle that comes with the Wine Bar No.1 project.  Don took the model, squished it then pulled it to make this great little bottle that could certainly hold a special love potion.

Change up the V-Carving and this could also be used at Halloween to hold your spooky potion or as a placecard holder at a wedding.  Lots of options and ideas!

This got us to thinking.

"Maybe we should create a short and quick video to show you how we think he did it." 

Check it out!

Nothing better then a good Easter egg hunt to get the little ones all worked up!  This project, with its arrow sign shape and Easter sgg models, will surely make for some fun layouts to help point the way.

You might even consider using the basket and bow to create a nice 1st Easter wall decoration.  What a great gift for the parents celebrating their first easter with a new baby!
