Letters made into a shape

[auntdooz]

Is this even possible with SCAL? What I am wanting is the word TEACH in the shape of a heart. I have found several tutorials for other things on you tube. I used the search feature here also but nothing is exactly what I am looking for. I am using version 3 and a cameo....TIA

I'm not quite sure if this is what you had in mind or ????

This is done using object/duplicate and basically making a bunch of rows and columns of the words, you can mix up fonts, colors and sizes. Add the heart from the shapes library and do a front minus back to delete all the words outside the heart.

Similar to that. How did you get rid of the parts of the word that are on the outside of the heart? I don't have that as an option. I have used that option in the past when making split letters, but it is grayed out now.

Not sure about your question. I put together a little tut of the steps I did maybe this will help.

Let me know if this answers your question

That makes sense but what if you wanted to squish the word "teach" just once inside a circle or a heart? Can that be done? I know the letters would be different sizes but that is okay.

This is more what I am wanting to do except with the word teach.

In Illustrator, this is called Envelope Distort. The SVG file looks a little better than the picture.

That is what I was talking about also. Can it be done in SCAL? I am not very good with other programs.

It can be done in SCAL, but it would involve a lot of node manipulation.
