Tips from the show

Do a ton of die cutting in all different colours at home, then sit and have fun with composition without pressure.
Don't glue anything until you're happy with placement; take a picture on your phone first to check the design.
Tuck leaves under things as much as you can to give the arrangement depth and realism.
