Tips from the show

• You can snip into the boot die to remove the floral details and create a plain boot if preferred.
• The same die works for multiple occasions—change the colours and accessories to suit birthdays, anniversaries or family cards.
• Freehand cutting small details like bow ties and hats adds a personal, handmade touch to your cards.
