I realize that I am a little late coming to this show, but can I say a big thankyou i have been a MCS user for many years but I've never got to grips with the text before. I've played all afternoon think I have a better understanding now. Thankyou Diane

Thank you Diane. I have been using MCS for donkeys years and blundered my way through without really knowing the full potential of the software. Thank you so much for your very informative tutorial video. I am hungry for more.

I have just caught this show while working from home. Diane, thank you for a blooming brilliant session, I have learnt so much, and my inspiration cup is now overflowing. I think I may have a short day working and have a play. Loved it, you never fail to amaze me, and your knowledge of MCS is second to none. Thank you ;-)

[@sandrabroad5448]

Thank you so much for these videos. You are an excellent teacher and I am learning so much after struggling along on my own and not being able to work out how to do some things.

[@lindaraines474]

Loved this tutorial. I never knew how it was done!❤

[@HighlightCrafts]

If you have any more questions once you've had a go just let us know and we'll look to incorporate in a future class!

[@suecarrier1551]

Brilliant workshop - learnt so much. My granddaughter followed with me and she is becoming a wiz with this program. Between this and the scan and cut there is no stopping her!!

[@HighlightCrafts]

That's great to hear!

[@janesmith5622]

Brilliant workshop, learned lots of new things. Thanks for looking at text. Could you also do another class using the Word Art text buttons ?

[@user-tweekie]

Thankyou , brilliant class , can't wait to see whats next ( digital punching with all the punches at some point please)

[@kayewall9005]

Really enjoyed this class especially about changing the colour of individual letters/words as I wasn't sure how to do it 😊

[@HighlightCrafts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@julierodgers5222]

Excellent lesson - using text as a digital punch is amazing! Could you cover the Word Design section at some point, please?

[@lynette.]

So very clear.

[@HighlightCrafts]

Glad to hear that!

[@EvangeliseGood]

I am trying to bring myself up to speed with MCS as a longtime CraftArtist user it’s been a difficult transition. So grateful for these classes, thanks Diane and all at Highlight Crafts. It seems to not be possible to crop or change an image or element once you have done any editing to it, is there any way to do this?

[@HighlightCrafts]

Hi, if you are referring to a grouped design that you have created the way to be able to crop or edit it is to save it as a jpeg file and then you can use it in the same way as any other image or design. We also recommend saving as an MCSX file just in case you want to go back later and edit the design. If you do need any further help please drop us a line on [e-mail]

[@EvangeliseGood]

@@HighlightCrafts thanks, had realised that but it seems bit of a faff when you are designing.

[@shereescraftcupboard2549]

Hi Diana please could you do a video on the overlays and the digital punches I can’t get the punches to digitally punch no matter what I do thank you

[@HighlightCrafts]

Hi Sheree, we are working through the features on these classes and have plans to include both of these features in the next few months :)

[@wendysoward7936]

Hi Diane, the fonts I have downloaded to my laptop aren't showing up in the text box. Am I doing something wrong? This was a truly awesome video!! Thank you so much.

[@HighlightCrafts]

Hi Wendy, if you're on Windows 11 you might need to right click on your fonts and select Install for All Users for them to show in the program, let us know if you do need any more help :)

[@mandygibson749]

Can you do fit to path.

[@user-pr5gl9gp2z]
