Using the ecal software open your svg files. I used the free Owl file from svgcuts.com, I broke it apart, hit the print and cut button and printed it on cardstock first and then put it on the mat. I used the laser to line up the cut and hit the cut button. Did a good job for my first print and cut project. I did add some stickles to the owl to give a little personality. I used pop dots and layered all the pieces together. cut out a scalloped circle with a shadow and attached it to the card. Wrapped some fibers around the card and stamped my saying.

This card was created entirely using the Ecal software. I used 2 inch squares for the base of each letter/shape. I used shapes that came with the software. I placed them on the squares and sized them to fit. I used the font Miss Scarlet and put them on each shape and sized accordingly. After I cut out the shapes I inked everything with the black soot distress ink. I went around the edge of the red heart and red square with the white gel pen. I added the pearls to the letter E and I popped the shapes with the E and the L up on pop dots.

I have the file set up to cut and score the card base. I also created a file to cut all the mats for eash section of the card. I then create the pieces using the card base as a template. All the SVG files for this card came from SVGcuts.com. I then copy and paste all the shapes on another mat and then cut everything out at once. I inked all the edges of the mats and then I glued each mat down in each section. I then assembled each cut out and glued them down. I then glued each letter down, I could have welded them together but I left them seperate. For the borders on the top and bottom I took two borders and flipped one upside down and welded them together and then took the top piece and just glued it across the middle of the border. I then took all the little hearts left behind and glued them randomly around the card middle.

The butterflies were sized inside the blocks so I don't have exact measurements. I also fit the words in the boxes and used the sizes that came out. The four pink butterflies I left the wings unglued to give dimension. I popped the 2 larger butterflies up on pop dots. I inked around all the mats and small butterflies in bright pink ink. I added stickles to the edges of the butterflies.

One of the best features about Sizzix Eclips is the laser preview. I had a small piece of black paper and I wanted to make sure the bats would fit so I put the size in and hit laser preview and they all fit. I use that function alot and I don't waste paper anymore.
