Fun with The Cookie Cutter Tool

If I was asked which tool is the most fun to use in ACDSee’s Photo Editor, I would have to say the cookie cutter tool. Do you remember being a child and helping your mom roll out the sugar cookie dough and make great shapes to decorate? And you know how that is a lot less fun as a parent because of the mess? Well, this cookie cutter is all of the fun with none of the mess.

Take a good look at this layout. See if you can find all of the shapes I made with this tool.

Can you find three? How about six? Were you able to get nine? I first used a star shape to crop the picture of the girls’ faces. I then used the same shape to cut out a red star to place behind them. I grabbed some more papers and used a border shape to create my journal box.  The flowers to the side of the box were made from other papers. I used the Transfer Mode of Multiply on some of the flowers to give them a sense of depth. Lastly, I needed some leaves for the stem of my flower. There is a heart shape that were turned into perfect leaves when cut from green paper, which were then rotated and skewed.

This is just one way to use this tool. But it is lots of fun and the possibilities in creating elements and neat shapes are truly endless.
