  3. I love it that you are including more ideas for cards. I also use border ideas and modify them slightly to use for cards, since most of my customers are into making cards rather than scrapbooking. Thanks for these GREAT ideas!!

  6. I’m having trouble with the border. I can’t seem to get the circle to fit around the punched out tree without destroying the edge of the tree or ending up with not quite a circle. Any tips?
