Step 12
Load your mat into your Juliet machine, and remember that the machine will start cutting from where you set the blade. Make sure the blade is situated at the bottom left hand corner of your mat.

Step 13
Now it's time to select your cut settings. You can utilise your own cut settings, but we found that the "Glitter HTV" setting worked well in cutting the watercolour paper pad we used.
idea_siser-projects-for-beginners-birthday_step13.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 14

When everything is ready click “Send to Cutter”.

 

Work your way through cutting each section and then assemble your card.
