Hello, today I'm over on the Silhouette UK Blog with a post about using the overcut feature in the Silhouette Studio software. It features this beautiful folding Zig Zag Village Card by Marji Roy. The card design is fabulous, but I didn't cut it very well first time around. On the second time around I used the Line Segment Overcut feature and the improvement was amazing!

If you look closely, you'll see that the squares and rectangles are not really square - all the corners are rounded.

First attempt with Overcut turned off


When I used Overcut (with all other settings the same) the cuts were crisper and more square.

Second attempt with Overcut on

The post over on the Silhouette UK Blog describe the feature and explain how, and where to use it.

The overcut feature also assisted in cutting out the teeny tiny wreaths successfully.

These were enhanced using my favourite embossing powder - more effective than cutting them out from metallic card.

I'll be making a few of these for the special folks on my Christmas card list.
