Margie, thanks for the great tip! It always gratifying to be able to save time and still have a quality product.

Well, no, because all done. Perhaps if you think of it in terms of just one printout on S/S. Take a spare sheet, fan fold it in three and you'll see that that folded piece can sit comfortably behind the swag outline, with space to spare. In that space I just clicked here and there with the stapler, then just cut around one half of the two swag set, then the remaining swag, which was still held firm by the staples. So you've cut through four sheets of S/S at the one time.
