Step 1.1: Design Our Gingerbread Coaster

1- First we are going to install the font that we are going to use in our design. In this case Baskerville, DIN Condensed, Christmas Wish, JandaChunky, Felt and PT Narrow Fonts.

💡Tip: You need to make sure that Design Space is closed before installing the new font, if not you have to close it and open it again in order to see the font listed on your Fonts types in Design Space.

2-  We are going to measure our physical coasters and we are going to add a rectangle (or the shape of our coasters) shape and we are going to change the color to white, to match our physical coasters. In our case:

3- We are going to add the word: Gingerbread and we are going to change the font to Baskerville.

4- We are going to resize the text so it fits inside the shape and using the curve functionality we are going to curve to generate some movement:

5-  Now, we are going to continue by adding the word: Bakery and change the font to DIN Condensed.

6- Now, we are going to search for a gingerbread image, and we are going to add the image twice.

7- We are going to place our text and the 2 images inside our “coaster”

 💡Tip: You can add any other wording, gingerbread or image that you like.

8- Using the same font as Bakery (DIN Condensed) we are going to add 2 words separately from each other: “EST.” and “2024”, and we are going to place them on each side of the gingerbreads:

9- We are going to add 2 squares and we are going to resize them in order to have some kind of separation lines:

10- Now using the same font as previously (DIN Condensed) we are going to add the following text: Hot Cocoa – Pies – Cookies, we are going to resize it so it can fit between the 2 lines that we just added:

11 – If you are going to use the same color for the whole coaster, you can proceed and attach all the elements together so when you cut it, you can just place them as is in the coaster and transfer it.
