Hi Kate,
I think I saw them in Paper Source, but I don’t see them on the website.
Good luck with your wedding announcements! Sounds like a very fun project

May I ask what catalog you saw these paper clips in? I’m looking for a cute way to put my wedding announcements together, and this is exactly what i’m looking for!

Thanks so much for these tutorials. They are so helpful. And I love the PDF format, so I can save them….just like sticky notes. I forget so easy nowadays. I print these out and keep them. Nancy

Hi Alex!
To create the outline follow these steps:

Select the circle layer.
Ctrl/Cmd click the THUMBNAIL of the circle layer in the layers palette (the little picture of the circle.) This puts marching ants around the circle.
Make a new layer above the circle layer and make sure it is the highlighted layer.
Choose Select > Modify > Expand from the Menu bar across the top of the window.
Expand by 30 pixels.
Then select Edit > Stroke.

Bevels: you’ll want to merge the visible layers before you apply the bevel style. The entire clip will have a raised appearance, not just the circle.
Once you’ve created the clip, you’ll use the Eraser tool to erase away any of the parts of the clip that would be under a piece of paper.

Let me know if this works for you,
Sara

Hi, again.
I was not able to bevel the circle. When I apply the bevel, it bevels the entire layer. I attempted to celect the circle only unsuccessfully. Am I supposed to create a new layer in order to be able to layer it?
Thanks again,
Alex

HI,
I am stuck on step 2.
I just cannot seem to be able to create the outline around the circle. I am following all the directions… I have tried several times w/o any results.
Any ideas?
Alex
