I saw this on MTC from You Tube. It looks so easy. I can't wait to try it.

LOL He makes it look so easy.. I have yet to be able to layer my vinyl that easily.. but then I haven't been doing it very long, and I keep trying to "conserve" supplies and not use more than I absolutely have too.. and I think that could be why I have such a hard time layering... LOL (That and I don't think to take the backing off my first layer, and turn the backing paper over to keep the top layer from sticking to the bottom layer until I'm ready for it to.. LOL)

The first and only time I did it, I didn't even know about registration marks. So I had to do it like 3 times.

Nothing to be scared about Christy. When you are ready to work on it, just pick a small project... something easy. I think we all tend to want to do more than we are ready for, and then get frustrated when it doesn't turn out right. But starting out with small simple projects and building up your confidence will get you cutting vinyl and doing layers in no time. I've done a little layering, cutting out two layers of flowers.. if they aren't dead on, it doesn't matter, but each time I do it, I learn what works and what doesn't.. so when I'm ready to do a larger project, I will know what to do.
