When cutting intricate shapes, cover the paper with an iCraft sheet first and then die cut as usual. Peel off the backing and viola!

iCraft tape was used on the file folder tab element and to attach the paper under the folded corner.

    I have a Stampin’ Up punch that would make those little windows. Never thought about using it like these cards. Thanks for sharing.
