April Day 50: Christmas card parts

I spent a chunk of the afternoon fighting with my Silhouette Cameo. For some reason cutting paper of all things is the most challenging. Card stock goes off without a hitch but when I try to cut regular scrapbook paper it ends of tearing. So after much experimenting I finally got it to work and then of course decided to use card stock for my project instead. I have decided to start making notes on scrap paper that I have cut so I know for sure what settings work with what. It's tricky because the Silhouette gives you paper weights but most scrapbook paper does not have the weight of the paper on the package so you just have to guess. These parts are for a few Christmas cards I am going to make. I still need to figure out how I am going to give the background a little more "umph" though.
