To load the mat into the machine, press the double arrows button. Do make sure that the mat is positioned under the mat guides.

Hit the "C" button once it begins to flash and you are on your way to cutting out your card!

Once the cut is complete, the double arrows will flash again. Press it and the mat will unload.

Repeat Step 9 until all layers are cut.

Add glue along the edge of the peach feet cutouts.

And attach the black outline pieces to the feet.
