How to

Step 1

Download the CanvasWorkspace project file. Open it in CanvasWorkspace (the desktop version). Open the layers tab on the right.

Make sure that the layer you want to transfer is visible and unlocked.

Watch the video for how to put the parts together and for some additional inspiration.


Tips:

Feel free to rearrange the parts in CanvasWorkspace so you can cut multiple colours at one time.
Using white card means you can use stamps, inks and more to decorate the suits.
Use only tiny dots of glue when applying accessories to avoid a messy finish.
