Digital Pin Exchange - MAY Edition!

[GlazeFamily3]

@GlazeFamily3 Are you using Leah's Mommyish styles? If you are then you might be forgetting to apply the PIN BUILDER - Metal Rim Style from the set.

I used that and this is still how it looks... I don't hate it... I just don't feel like it really looks like a pin.

Now a request - I struggle to find a good color for my metal rims. Does anyone have a color palatte they would be willing to share? So far, I've gotten better results with a gray but still not happy.

Here are the colors I've saved to use - tweak them to find something you like. I've found I don't like pure black, but rather a really dark grey to give that black 'look' as the edge style darkens it up a bit when applied.

I would check the size of the image you are building the pin on. When it is too big (larger than 2 inches), or too small, I don't think it looks right. Some of the vector shapes can be really large, while others are really small.

Thanks. I will check that. Mine was bigger than that, so it could easily be the issue.

I find the darker the color of the rim the less you see the style. I would do a really dark grey rim instead.

Hi.....I somehow missed downloading The March Pins and I was wondering if they were still available to download somewhere ????? They are all so cute

I love your pins, my daughter screamed, "MINECRAFT!". LOL!!!!

*slightly twisted giggles* And she would be right. I'ma try some of the mobs next month! Without making it too Minecrafty and violate Microsoft's rights of course. And the gray hint was helpful!

Thank you so much!! This was exactly what I needed, I kept playing but would get frustrated and the two times I attempted to save a color palatte, um, they were eaten by the single sock ghost or something.

I think I'm becoming a little bit obsessed...

Hi @spenny! The March Pins are not available any longer. The idea of the pin exchange is that you make 5 pins and you get a BUNCH of pins back. Please join us this month, it's a lot of fun!

 

[carrie1977]

And, my fifth one.

And so last month I hinted that I was working on a rather large pin set, and so I was.... April and June are birthday months for multiple people in my family so here are some party pins and yeah, I went a bit overboard, but I just couldn't stop trying out different combinations.

[carrie1977]

OK....I needed a duck for my duckling layouts.

My first attempt, couldn't get the rim right either...tried several options, but they didn't work out the way I wanted it to work out.

 

[Dalis]

I think they are adorable!

 

[merank]

Here are mine for this month.
