Tips from the show

The traditional borders die has a shamfered edge detail with both thin and thicker lines, creating a classic elegant look.
You don't have to fussy cut the fairy—you can use preprinted elements from your paper pad instead.
The die works beautifully for creating shaped cards that stand out from standard rectangular designs.
