Making Cabinet 3

This cabinet is using the numeral 8 from the Boxes.ttf.  Make your basic cabinet the way you've made the first ones.  I'm not going to show each step since you should be familiar by now.  I used the Magic Wand to select first the background, then I held down the Shift key and selected all the other open areas of the cabinet.  Then I Inverted the Selection and applied my Custom saved Frame1 Inner Bevel.

Next I selected the first open area inside the outer frame.  I expanded that selection by 2 pixels.   I flipped my swatches, Flood filled that section with wood03.jpg and applied the Inner Bevel Groove Preset.

Next I selected the two drawers and expanded them by 2 pixels.  I Flood filled them with wood01.jpg and applied the Inner Bevel Bead Preset.

I end up with a pretty two-toned cabinet.

Now for a nice touch to the drawers, a wooden accent.  Set your Styles: wood03.jpg as the Foreground/Stroke.  wood01.jpg as the Background/Fill.  For the Textures Foreground/Stroke, use the Tree Bark.  Now for the text.  Use Times New Roman with the same settings you have been using with the Boxes.ttf.  Use the zero, 0.

While your text is still a Vector, stretch and adjust it for the size of your drawer.
Deselect and convert to a raster layer.
Click on the Magic Wand.  Click in the background and Invert the Selection.
Flood fill.  Leave the piece selected.  Invert the Selection.

Effects/3D/Outer Bevel/Frame Preset.  Doesn't that look nice?
Play with different Textures for variation in the accent look.


 

Let's make some hardware for our pretty new addition to the cabinet.
