Tips from the show

The Jasper design is ageless and can be used for any occasion from a 15-year-old's prom to a 100th birthday card.
Fussy-cutting is easy because the embossed line acts as a guide; you don't need to be perfect as long as you follow the emboss line.
Use a white gel pen or white ink pad to restore detail to fussy-cut pieces where the embossing has been removed.
