If you read my previous post, you read that we create a card for each of the residents at retirement community that we "adopted". Hopefully we bring them as much joy as they bring us! I created another batch of cards using the Custom Ornament thin cuts.

With the thin cut set you can cut a base (I did this with the gold foil paper). You can also choose to cut the other portions of the ornament with different cardstock or patterned paper. I wanted a simple elegant card so I simply nested the pieces and ran it through my Bigshot once. In order to be frugal,
I cut the red mat piece at 4 x 5 1/4. The easiest way for me to do this was to nest the thin cuts on the Bigshot plate with the cutting sides facing up. I then placed the mat piece of cardstock and then the other Bigshot plate (thus cutting in an upward direction). This is not a requirement, just a choice I made.

Since I was making a batch of these cards I was actually able to run two red mats through my bigshot and the thin cuts still gave me a nice clean cut even with each of the fine decorative cuts in the ornament.
Snowflakes embossing folder Z3518 was used on the White daisy piece. I was away at the time I made these cards and only had black ink. I would have used Candy Apple Ink if I had in with me for the Merry Christmas sentiment on the front.
