Here is a Dark Chocolate Chocolate Cake Like dessert I made for the low carb eating birthday person.
It is made of dark chocolate and Splenda.
Melt chocolate, add Splenda to taste, pour in mold.
Let chocolate harden. Remove from mold. Decorated.
Remove sugary and eat sugary decoration be for giving the low carb birthday celebrant their piece.
Their piece.
When you find a great card design, you can use it for multiple birthdays!
Look! It is 3d too!!!!
There are plenty of March birthdays in my family. I needed cards. Someone suggested buying gift cards for my dad. So, I needed some gift card boxes. Out comes the Corel Draw, the Silhouette, and the Ultimaker 2 to handle two of the birthdays.
Dad’s Birthday!
I used Corel Draw to create the background, then I printed it on metallic photo paper. I designed the rest of the card using Silhouette Studio.
I designed the gift card box in Tinkercad getting the dimension from a credit card. The box was printed on the Ultimaker 2 using semi-transparent filament.
Print Time: 3 hours 45 minutes
Filament: PLA – 5.22 meters 41 grams
Layer height: 0.1 mm
Shell Thickness: 0.8
Object Size (W, D, H): 100.001, 164.001, 12.701 mm (Both pieces printed together)
Amanda’s Birthday!
I used a template for Amanda’s card and cut it on the Silhouette. However, I did design the envelope since no envelope was a good size.. Alas, I didn’t get a picture.
I tweak the gift card box after the other one was printed to make the top smaller and fit better. It was printed using pink filament.
Print Time: 3 hours 45 minutes
Filament: PLA – 5.25 meters 42 grams
Layer height: 0.1 mm
Shell Thickness: 0.8
Object Size (W, D, H): 100.001, 163.501, 12.701 mm (Both pieces printed together)
The boxes was printed with the top and bottom laying flat on the printer bed to make the boxes smoother.
Here are my first two attempts at making Birthday cards. For the outside I used the templates from the Silhouette Design Studio. On the inside, I font was used and another template. Several cards will be made this month, because of the numerous birthdays in January.
I really need to learn how to get the insert correct if the card will have a background.
Instead of gluing the dots back into the letters, I used my metallic marker to draw the dots. Lazy? Maybe… but, more likely I am feed up with all forms of glue.
Note to self – Check the quality of the photo before mailing the card.
The signature was done with the sketch pen in the Silhouette while before the cutting was performed.
I did save the cut letters. I may want to used them in the future for another project.
