Tips from the show

• Heat your embossing gun until it is hot before applying it to the card to avoid warping the card stock.
• There is no right or wrong way to place the die cuts down, but ensure you use the correct side of the paper.
• Flowers are not perfectly symmetrical, so slight variations in petal placement and curling create a more natural appearance.
