Tips from the show

• You have enough foam pads to make 20 or more cards, so do not be tight with the embellishments.
• The rubons transfer like they have been printed onto the envelope when burnished properly.
• You can make 18 complete cards from the kit and still have embellishments left over to extend your project with additional card stock from your stash.
