Tips from the show

• Follow the numbered stencils in order and make sure the number is always facing you to avoid creating a reverse image.
• You don't need to achieve a perfect smooth blend through the stencils; the layering system will disguise any imperfections.
• If you accidentally die-cut before embossing, simply pop the piece back into the embossing folder and run it through again.
