On how to set your Eclips2 to cut mounting board:

Butterfly image download from internet

Size it to your desire size 

In this case we set the cutting speed to 4

Pressure to 7

Multi-cut set to 5

Blade setting  6

Lastly to secure the thick mounting board to the cutting mat we used a sticky tape on the edge of the mounting board (to prevent the mounting board sliding off the mat)
