For gifts such as cookies or wine, it would no longer need to be wrapped, just attach a designed tag from any of the selected cutouts and attach them on a piece of yarn. These cutouts can also be made into bookmarks. Aside from the usual trimmings of the Christmas tree, laminated cutouts with a greeting can be added. It would make a wonderful conversation piece and people who visit can help themselves to the bookmark they like before they leave. It would make a wonderful token for people who took their time visiting the household in that wonderful season of giving.

Layers splits the shapes into it’s most basic shapes allowing you to cut each shape in a different color, or texture. This allows a very 3D look to your project and it is easy to do! Phrase / Layers will cut a phrase and the background for that phrase allowing another way to add a layered custom look to your scrapbook.

Card and book cover are similar in that they create a large solid block with a small cutout shape. The holes, however, are located in different spots allowing them to be used in different ways. With Book cover, the holes are located on the left hand side of the card. You can run string or ribbon through the holes and create a neat book scrapbooking project. With Card, the holes are located in the middle of the card which allows it to be folded neatly in two and attached to whatever you wish.
