HMMM I'm Stumped

Does anyone know how to make a shaped card if there is more that one cut on an image.  I just spent an hour trying to weld two jars together to make a shaped card.  The only thing I can think of is that there are 3 images on the cut  , an apple, and 2 different jars.  I hid the cuts I didn't want, then flipped the images but couldn't figure it out.  At one point I think I got it welded but couldn't fit it on my mat.  I think it was allowing for the hidden cuts. In the end I put the main image at the edge of my card and cut around it with scissors-a 30 second job.  Hopefully one of my Gypsy Expert Blogger friends will have a solution.  The card turned out great.  As soon as I charge my camera I will post it  Thank you in advance
