I have mine all cut (24) but only one snowflake as they were not cutting good for me. I think I need a stickier mat. I may do something else on them but the red pieces are cut lol.

You can use a different pattern. Mine cut okay, but I used a new blade and my mat was fairly sticky. Sorry you are having difficulty.

oh, and you only have to do 12!!!! :)

My snowflakes cut like a dream and I had an old mat and an old blade - I cannot even remember when I last changed my blade. Not good huh??!!?? :hide:

Afraid to change it and mess up good cutting! LOL

Here are my 12 mint covers. These are a really cute idea. I tore one of the snowflakes as I was taking it off the mat so I need to make another one. But at least I have all 12 backs done! :D

Thank you Gigi. Yes, they were fun and I am planning on making them for Christmas treats in a bag for the grandchildren.

Christy, those are adorable... I love them.. and printing out the design and cutting the scalloped circle around them is a great way to do it. Every one is so creative with these challenges... I love to see what every one has come up with.

Thank you ladies. Print and cut is so much faster than piecing stuff together and I am all about simply right now.LOL

I did the pnc with MTC using the KNK. I was scared of it so I avoided it at first, but with Tyler's video tutorial it was quick and easy to get working.

Here's mine. I decided to do 12 of the mint ones for now.
It doesn't really show with the photo, but the snowflakes are cut from glitter paper.
To add the white on the scalloped edge I used a white Prismacolour block pencil.

Those look really cool Jeannette.. It looks like you cut an extra layer in white instead of coloring the edges... I love them!!!
