Move the Duplicate Shape so that it lines up with the bottom ofthe page.

Then alternate between the PICKTOOL and SHAPE TOOL to makeadjustments to the size of the 2 shapes.

The Duplicate Shape should be slightly smaller than the original.

Step 8: Add Fill & Outline Color

Now, to make the shapes a little easier to work with, let's add some Color to them.

You can select both shapes by dragging the cursor over them while holding down themouse button.

On the right side of the screen will be the COLORPALETTE.

Select any color you choose.

Simply click on your desired color in order to FILL the

shape and right click over the same color to set the

STROKE/OUTLINE of the shape.

Step 09: Arrange Order

Using the RECTANGLE TOOL again, draw a RECTANGLE that completely covers thepage, including the 2 shapes.

Set its FILL COLORto something different so that you are able to distinguishbetween the 2 layers.

Now we will send this layer behind the first by changing the Order.

On the MENUBARselect ARRANGE >ORDER>TO BACK OF PAGE.

Step 10: Shaping

Select both blue shapes. Do this by selecting 1 then hold down the SHIFTKEY and select the other.

We will merge these 2 shapes together so that they become 1 shape.

Step 11: Break Curve Apart

We will break this shape apart by going to the MENU

BARand selecting ARRANGE >BREAKCURVE APART.

Now you'll be able to

freely move each piece

around.

Remember to change the color so that it will be easier for you

to spot which layer you are working with.

Move the top shape directly above the back layer.

Do the same for the bottom shape.

Select both shapes, and repeatStep 09to Set Order,

sending them to BACK OF LAYER.

Then using the Arrow keys on your keyboard, move the shape

downward until it is in the desired location on the flyer.

Click any white area to deselect both shapes, then reselect

the bottom shape and move upward to desired location.

Step 12: Adjust Triangular Handle

Notice there is still some white space separating the 2 layers atthe corner.

To remedy this, select theSHAPE TOOL, then click on the 2ND LAYER

and drag the BLUE TRIANGULARHANDLE upward to meet the top

layer.

To round the corners of this rectangle, select the ROUND CORNERICON on the TOOLS CONTROLS BAR.

Make sure that the EDIT CORNERS TOGETHERICON is also

selected, then set the CORNERRADIUS to 0.5".

the RED COLORthat was already used.

If you look at the bottom of the screen you will see a COLORPALETTE calledthe DOCUMENT PALETTE.

Repeat the steps to apply color, set the HEARTS on the WHITE

BACKGROUND to SOLID RED and the HEARTS on the RED

BACKGROUND to SOLID WHITE.

You can set each Heart's color 1 by 1, or hold down the SHIFT

Key and select each Heart that you need to apply the change

to.

You can also drag your cursor over all the Hearts you wish to

select at once, just be careful not to select any other

shapes.

Then set the WHITE HEARTS.

Next we will apply text to the Flyer, starting with

the GRADIENT FILLED TITLE.

Step 22: Free Fonts

For the NEW PRODUCT FLYERTITLE, ADDRESS and PRODUCT NAME, the

FONT used is NOT MARY KATE by Nick's Fonts, which was downloaded

fromFontSpace.com.

If you want to view more of Nick's Fonts check out his website

atwww.nicksfonts.com.

For the remaining text I used a Font called GABRIELLE. It can be

downloaded fromFontFreak.comand is designed by Dieter Steffmann.

(Note for a newly downloaded Font to be usable on your machine, you must first install it.

Any FONT installed while COREL DRAW is open, will not be visible in the FONT LIST. To correct this,

you will have to restart the COREL DRAW program after Font(s) installation.)

Step 23: Insert Text on a Path

Select the TEXT TOOL from the TOOLBOX.

Notice that the cursor changes to an X with an A. Move the cursor over the edge of the TOP RED

LAYER. The cursor changes to an uppercase I and the word 'EDGE'.

When you see this, it means that you are on the edge of the layer. Click there and start typing 'NEW

PRODUCTS'.

OK, so the TEXT appears upside down.

This can be easily remedied.

Step 24: Mirror Text

Go up to the TOOLS CONTROL BARand select the MIRRORTEXT VERTICALLY ICON.

In the FOUNTAIN FILL WINDOW, under the

FROM and TO options, you will see MIDPOINT.

Set it to 25 by either typing the number in

the box or move the slider to that position.

Then click OK.

The TITLE TEXT will now have a GRADIENT FILL.

Step 27: Set Outline Width

Now we can change the size of the OUTLINE, so that the Text

stands out.

Select the TEXT again and on the MENU BAR, select TEXT >TEXT

PROPERTIES.

Step 28: Add Remaining Text

Next type the ADDRESS and HUGGABLE LOVE TEXT, setting

the FONT to NOTMARYKATE. The FONT SIZE should be set

to 18PT and 24PT respectively.

Change the alignment of the Text by selecting theH

ORIZONTAL

ALIGNMENT

ICON and choosing RIGHT from the Menu.

You also could go over to the PARAGRAPH section of the TEXT

PROPERTIES DOCKERand select the ALIGN RIGHT ICON.

Choose the method that is easiest for

you.

Set the 'PERSONALIZE' text to GABRIELLE, SIZE 40PT, and

the 'HUGGABLE LOVE' text at the bottom of the flyer to

NOTMARYKATE, SIZE 24PT.

Repeat the step to change the color of the HUGGABLE LOVE text

at the top and bottom to our RED from the DOCUMENT PALETTE.

Step 29: Adjust Leading/Line Spacing

You'll notice that the text at the bottom seems to overlap the RED LAYER.

To fix this, simply click anywhere in the paragraph and adjust the LINE SPACING in

the PARAGRAPH section of the TEXT PROPERTIES DOCKER.

If you have trouble finding it, just look out for this ICON.

Set the LINE SPACING to 80%. So the almost complete flyer should

look something like this:

The remaining text uses the GABRIELLE FONT, at SIZE 36PT, ALIGN

CENTERand has LINE SPACING set to 80%.

Step 30: Save File

Now all that's left to do is SAVE your file. Go to the MENU BARand

select FILE >SAVE.
