Tips from the show

• Extending the vellum to the back of the card creates a professional, layered look without adding bulk for posting.
• The vellum is high-grade and scores beautifully, allowing you to heat emboss or use various cardmaking techniques on it.
• You can choose to pop out the centre elements of the die-cut or leave them in for different design effects.
