Tips from the show

• White on white cards look sophisticated and are particularly effective for sympathy cards if you have the confidence to use them.
• You can create your own foam pads at home by gluing together off-cut card pieces and hiding an old foam pad behind them as a money-saving alternative.
• Don't be afraid of using white cardstock – it doesn't have to be scary and creates an elegant, clean aesthetic.
