Tips from the show

• If you're cutting card stock directly onto a hard plate and it won't cut through, place a piece of paper underneath to create a softer surface for the die to cut into.
• Use an anti-static bag on the back of vellum to prevent glitter from sticking to it, allowing the contents to shake freely.
• Don't overfill your shaker with glitter—a light covering is enough to create movement and capture light beautifully.
