| The Cookie Cutter tool in
PSE (PhotoShop Elements) is the digital equivalent of using punches
and die-cuts.
1. It’s easy
to use! Just click on the heart-shaped icon in the toolbox and
choose the shape you want. Browse your options by clicking on
the down arrow here by category, or under “All Elements
Shapes,” get a thumbnail of all your options.
2. Choose a shape,
hold down your mouse and drag the shape until it covers the area
you want. When you release the mouse and hit Enter, your shape
will be cut out of the paper.
3. If you want
to save the shape, give it a new name and choose File | Save As.
Once saved, you can place it in any layout.
4. In this layout,
we cut a digital flower out of this paper and used it as a matching
embellishment.
5. You can layer
photo mats behind your photos, by choosing the “Rounded
Square” option.
6. Lastly, try
the Cookie Cutter tool to add interesting frames to your pictures.
Select Crop Shapes and drag the frame over the photo. Once you’ve
positioned it, click - it cuts your photo into that shape.
