Join Channin as she walks you through everything included in the kit, shares expert tips and techniques, and creates an adorable card featuring both of the main die sets. It’s the perfect dose of crafting inspiration to kick off your month!

Here is what Channin has to say about this card:


For this card, I modified the pile of books so they appear stacked behind the reader. To achieve this, I separated the books between the fourth and fifth ones and flipped the top stack.

I wanted the reader from the Happy Place Die Set to have short hair and possibly represent a boy, so I chose not to include the second section of hair.

Be sure to watch the video to see how I created all of these effects and brought the die cuts to life with added depth and dimension.
