2. 

   Position the die-cut flower template onto the wood-effect panel, ensuring it aligns properly over the printed flowers. Check the placement carefully before securing.

3. 

   Position the grey foliage pieces on the wood-effect panel alongside the yellow and coral flowers. If the design doesn't line up properly on one side, flip the cardstock over to use the reverse side, as the paper is double-sided with different colours.

4. 

   Position the die plate on your chosen paper. Secure it in place using tape or hold it steady with your hands to prevent movement during cutting.

Tips from the show

• The bleed around the edges helps with eye appeal and compensates for slight machine movement.
• You can twist and shape the flowers into different sizes and forms for variety.
• Use the stencil background created by the die on light pink cardstock for a coordinated background before layering flowers on top.
