How do you transfer lettering?

[hoping2go]

I am looking at all these great disigns. I have transfered large images, but am wondering how you guys do all the great lettering? Do you have to cut everything out?

I like to sort of bubble-cut. I cut out around the letters, but leave a margin so that all of the letters in a word are connected.

It's easiest to put the lettering in the design and then put a frame around the design so that it appears intentional.

Here is how I cut around dark transfers to make them look more professional.

The white around "Get Some" is actually the transfer. I just cut out around the letters without cutting the letter out individually. So "Get" was one transfer piece, and "some" was another. Then with "Sax," I cut out the "S" by itself, and the "AX" are attached at the bottom.

With the wordy stuff, I cheated by putting it in a box. I cut out around the box so that no part of the transfer is visible.
