Tips from the show

• Use removable or low-tack tape when masking for die-cutting to avoid damaging your card.
• Nesting dies with stitch detail on both sides create decorative effects on both the front and back of cut-out pieces.
• Varying the height of foam pads creates a rise-and-fall effect that adds visual interest to dimensional elements.
