Card making Christmas cards Christmas crafts Die cutting How to Techniques Card Making
Tracey Daykin-Jones has worked her festive magic using simple die-cut shapes to create a real statement Christmas card. Using the
negative die-cut to create an aperture is a great way to add height to your cards. Be sure to adhere the main white panel down with 3D foam pads to enhance the window effect, and layer onto coloured card for added interest.
