Tips from the show

You can create shaped cards using the outline die, which looks beautiful in an envelope rather than a standard square or rectangle.
Experiment with different colour combinations—the stencils work beautifully in unexpected colours like blues and browns, not just traditional yellow and blue.
You don't have to use the stencils at all if you prefer—you can use just the die-cut element on its own.
