How i have been doing it up to now is cutting each item out first the going in with the craft knife or my snips for the tricky bits but last night i found
that if i cut all the tricky bits out from each item on the sheet before cutting each item out it made it stronger while on the sheet and easier to cut and
i got a cleaner cut hope this makes sense

That was the way I was shown ....... do all fiddly bits 1st. while still on full sheet then cut individual pieces out after. Much easier and it doesn't
'flop' all over the place.

You got it !!!!! That is the way I was once told to do it and have done so ever since.
Enjoy your decoupage, a brilliant way to enhance your cards !! Best wishes Sonia

Yes always cut out the little tricky bits first, that way you have a larger piece of paper to hold on to.

I don't know about that but it certainly makes cutting a whole lot easier
