Tips from the show

• When die-cutting washi tape, think about where you position your aperture so the negative space can be used for another project.
• With 10 metres of washi tape on each roll, you can afford to be generous in how you apply it to your projects.
• Don't worry about joining washi tape strips perfectly in the centre of a card if that area will be covered by a die-cut or stamped image.
