Tips from the show

• Do not worry if the top of the stamped figure does not stamp clearly, as you will be covering it with paper-pieced clothing.
• Papers can make or break a card; if you have good papers, your card should always look nice.
• You can add a sentiment using washi tape or stamped text to complete the design if desired.
