to resize both the cut and drawn images separately, then group them
together. Cut from Burgundy card stock. Resize button smaller and cut from Olive card
stock. Clear emboss both buttons, layer

better cut you will achieve.

To finish turning the branches into a snowflake

snowflake as shown above, click Edit>Select All, Edit>Union.
Adhere 3L Adhesive paper to White card stock, insert into
eCraft with the Adhesive Backing side face up.
This will allow your image to have a better cut. Cut image.
