Click “Send” in the to start cutting.

Press the “down” arrow on the Cameo 4 touch panel when your machine has finished cutting your design to remove the cutting mat from the machine.

Remove your Adhesive Vinyl from the cutting mat – go slow so it doesn’t curl up.

Use your fingers or a weeding tool to remove the excess vinyl. Be sure to leave your design on the white backing sheet and get be sure to get the vinyl out of the loops and middles of your letters.

Step Four: Creating Your DIY Jack Skellington Cookie Tin:

Place a piece of transfer tape over your Jack Skellington decal.

Use the scraping tool and scrape the top of the transfer tape to make sure the design adheres to it.

Gently pull transfer tape up away from the backing sheet and make sure the entire design lifts with it.

Center your design on your cookie tin and press it down from left to right. Use a scraping tool to make sure you get a great transfer.

Slowly remove the transfer tape from your cookie tin. Tip: pull from a corner and not the side to make sure each part of the design transfers completely to your cookie tin.
