Before making creases, check to make sure that all edges are aligned. The edges of many finished cards, panels and die cuts have been colored with ink. This step is optional, and the directions to ink edges are not included below. For a softer look, ink with a sponge or stylus tool with blender tip. For a bolder effect, ink directly from the pad onto the card. Remove the die cuts from the 8.5x11 and 12x12 sheets. If you do not have an item needed to complete the card as it is shown, simply eliminate the step, or modify it to use items that you have in your stash.
