Christmas Theme Tutorials Request

[AnneHW]

I'm working on moving from Illustrator and Photoshop to Affinity. There are tons of tutorials for Adobe, and I know eventually there will be a lot more Affinity Designer and Photo.

 

I love creating my own holiday cards, and I was hoping to find some ideas here on how to create, for instance, snow flakes or maybe one of those Christmas trees that look like a ribbon. Maybe it's just a matter of looking at an Adobe tutorial and figuring out how to do it in Affinity?

 

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi Anne,

 

Hopefully this helps, it's a very simple snowflake in a few steps. I haven't written every single step but you should hopefully be able to follow along from the screenshots. There are many ways this could be achieved and variations, play around with it and share your results.

 

​1- Use a star shape and adjust the settings as in screenshot 

 

 

2- Use the rounded rectangle tool to create a line that will go down the middle (adjust settings)

 

 

3- Duplicate shapes (CMD + J) and rotate into place

 

 

4- Again duplicate one of those lines and make them smaller and move in to place

 

 

5- Repeat and move shapes into place and then groups these together in the layers panel (CMD + G)

 

 

6- Duplicate this group and rate and put in place. There you are a simple snowflake

I often used the amoyshare photo collage maker to design Christmas cards before. This year, I want to change one. :)
