Click on the Openings Tab and bring over a Template #106 Mixed onto the work area. Click on the Mixed template and click on the Properties Tab.

To cut the mat, place the matboard in the CMC face-down. Select to NOT cut the Outside. Set the Blade Depth to 7 (or your V-Groove Blade Depth). Cut the bottom Rectangle layer, but do not remove the matboard. Return the Blade Depth to the normal setting and cut the top #614 Spike layer. Remove the matboard. Close the corners and reinforce the folds with linen tape. Your Shadowbox is done.
