Tips from the show

• Give the score line a good burnish before wrapping to ensure it folds smoothly around your card.
• If you have tremor or crampy hands, leave the longer wider side open last to reduce the chance of spilling embellishments.
• Add an anti-static bag to the paper inside if you don't want glitter to stick as much to the card.
