Tips from the show

• If your images blend into similar coloured backgrounds, cut a coordinating piece of card stock to place underneath to make them stand out.
• If you're making one card, make three; if making three, make six to maximise your cutting time.
• Use your offcuts and scraps of paper to create additional panels and avoid wasting material.
