And here are the newest Shoppe Items…
and…
In this tutorial, I am going to use, Sumo Paint a FREE Online Photo Editor (no download or registration required). You could also use Pixlr (a very similar editor), I chose to use Sumo for this particular Tutorial, because I was having troubles rotating the font in Pixlr.
The next thing you need is a blank Header. You can get the header below FREE over at my shop :) Click here to get it! **No need to “Add to Cart” and sign up, just click on the “Free Download” link.
1. After you have gone to Sumo Paint, you need to open your blank header.
2. Next, Create a New Layer on the bottom left of your Layers window.
3. Now you need to use your text tool, and type what you want. *I am only typing my first line, I like to type each line in different layers so that I can have more control about where each line is placed.
4. Make sure that you change your font, size and color before you finish editing your text (for some reason, Sumo Paint doesn’t let you re-edit your text later, it is kind of annoying really…. Pixlr will let you, but they also have some really funny glitches with their text tool too.) Here are the settings that I went with:
5. Next I used the Selection tool to leave the text editing, and I went to Edit > Free Transform.
6. Then use the corners to rotate the text to your liking.
7. Then I simply repeated steps 2 – 6 for the second line of text.
8. Lastly, I saved the file as a PNG.
And there you have it!
Make this blog in 30 Minutes or less, with NO design software! This is how I did it:
1. I started with the Blogger’s Pink Watermark Theme.
2. I installed Shabby Blog’s Mod Men {W}. Use the instructions from her website (When you click on “Get the Code”).
This is what it should look like now….
3. To fix this, you need to go to your Template Designer and your Background page, and click on “Remove image“.
Then click on your Advanced page and “Backgrounds“. Then Change the color of the Background and the Footer to Transparent.
4. Next I got rid of the drop shadow on the top and bottom of the Navigation Bar, and as well as behind the Post Section, by copying and pasting the following code in the “Add CSS” page of the “Advanced” tab: (seen below)
.tabs-inner .PageList, .tabs-inner .Labels {
box-shadow: 0 0 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
.post-outer {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
5. Next, I customized the Tabs Background, Tabs Text, Links, Date Header, Post and Gadgets. All located on your Advanced page. There, I change colors, fonts, and font sizes.
6. Next, I downloaded this free Header image from the Background Fairy.
7. Then go to pixlr.com and Open the file, and use the Type Tool on the left to add your text.
8. Finally upload your header, and center it if needed. Here is a tutorial that shows you how to center your blog. This was the code I added to center mine: (I also added a margin to the top and bottom just to give it some nice white space)
.header-outer {
margin-left:100px;
margin-bottom: 40px;
margin-top: 40px;
}
There you have it!! Super Cute!
I have been working on a couple boards on my Pinterest, with my Favorite Free Backgrounds and Free Headers, Check it out HERE :)
Because it was texture week, I made a cute texture seamless pattern for my shop, and a few free backgrounds! Hope you like. Oh, and just so you know, my shop is now INSTANT DOWNLOAD, so that means that once you pay for it, you download it immediately. Also, everything in my shop if for personal AND COMMERCIAL use!
