[How would you do this? Curve and shape Combination]

Hi @jarturn,

You can continue the curves and close them to make shapes: snow over the mountains and mountains over the circle.
Then select the snow and insert it inside the mountain. Then insert the mountain inside the circle. Do the same with the sun if you wish.
Then put in the colors you have chosen.

 

EDIT

Another possible way is to close the curves as before and fit them precisely to each other.
For the sun, remove the parts outside the circle.

 

Thanks! You are totally correct, I see it a bit more like building the shapes with how you displayed it. Very cool. I need to slightly oversize things and use layering a bit better. 

I have tried in the past with aligning the curves as mentioned at the end and the first option you suggest seems way more forgiving.

I cannot view your images.
Clicking on a link gives me a (mostly) blank pop-up – see first attached image.
If you want to share an image – or Affinity document – you can simply attach the file to the post rather than using a link to a web resource – see second attached image.

I think I got it corrected. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi all, 

Lately I have been making my own oil and beeswax mixes for my woodworking projects, and wanted to make some small containers to send with my cutting boards. I made a round label mostly because I could get them here in town. They came in a 2 in size that fit my tins pretty well. I used the template that Avery provided and used snapping to align my stickers to the sheet. Once the basic design was worked out I duplicated the sheet and changed each one to the other oil.  

What I liked: Making it all black and white was very simple and easy to LaserJet print. Using a premade font kept the thing simple and easy to alter. Trimming with Masks kept everything fitting in the circles very easy.

Where I would change: My wife pointed out that I could of just duplicated the template layer and used them to get a better fit. I would potentially use the embedded object feature to update the sticker for changing the oil type or jar size when I make more. Leaving all of the shapes to not be trimmed by the mask would help with the bleed but make it harder to align. Thickening the stroke a bit more to cover any misalignment in the sheet. Print the pages separately so as to align each better. 

Anywho, thanks for reading if you did and looking. I would love any suggestions, critiques or techniques. 

Thanks all,

Hi all, 

I am wondering how you would go about this?

I am trying to make a small round sticker.

I want to combine the Mountain curve to the circle shape. When I try Boolean options it tries to complete the curve. 

I put a couple of the examples in the file so you would see my bad examples. 

I just want to be able to color the items independently. I understand that i can mock it up and probably pen tool all the shapes independently, but if you would have a better suggestion I would appreciate the guidance.

Thanks all.
