This has been a favorite design of mine to make for the last few holiday seasons. This year I used some patterned paper for the background and I just fell in love with how it looked. I had actually been feeling like I needed to just use up that paper so it was great to then feel like I had the perfect use for it.
I truly love each and every color blend in that patterned paper. It’s just so pretty!
This is what I found worked to get a perfect cut out of the Snow Flurries Backdrop: use a lighter weight paper, like patterned paper that is about 80 pound paper, turn the die at a slight angle when running it through the machine, and place a metal shim on the outside of the die cut sandwich. These things worked to get a perfect and complete cut out of the backdrop every single time.
I made all of these cards at the same time and it took 4.5 hours to make all 4 cards. Not bad for 4 cards.
