We had a business folder for a couple of years that he decided we had had long enough, so the paper and card were cross cut for the bin and the plastic as I said was going in too. I took it and, with my Silhouette Cameo, I cut a couple of stencils out to see if it would and it did! I also tried die cutting, but it wouldn't go through! Here is the result of one stencil. The numbers are what setting I used to cut it, so I can remember for the next cut.

Hi, Faith,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I appreciate it!
Your card is beautiful!. Your background is beautifully blended and, at first glance, I thought you had used a foil press for your gold accents. You did a great job of heat embossing your elements. Nicely crafted!

Such a pretty and delicate card Faith and great re-cycling. Well done you on getting the cameo to cut the stencil as most of the plastics with die cutting just won't work x. Just think of the possibilities for you now Faith. The recipient of this beautiful card will love it x.
