Tips from the show

• Lattice dies can be used in multiple ways: as a full card front, cut in half for tags, or with shaped die cuts inside.
• You can fold the lattice card in half to create a Slimline card format if preferred.
• The soft curves in the foliage design work with any embellishments you already have in your stash.
