Tips from the show

• Fussy cutting is therapeutic and helps create a polished, detailed finish to your cards.
• You can use foam adhesive at just one millimetre thickness to add dimension without making the card too thick for posting.
• Avoid using shaker card elements with foam adhesive as the shakers will not move properly.
