Tips from the show

• You can reuse trimmed tree line pieces for future cards.
• The tree line die stays within the page, allowing you to build multiple trees without cutting out of the page.
• Use the stag as an embellishment in glitter cards or other projects if you prefer not to use it as a main focal point.
