A big thank you to YOU, our reader — and to Nichol for being our guest!

  1. Hi,
    I think you linked the wrong video. This was Laura Bassen doing a walk-through of product release, not Nichol making a card.

    Sincerely,

    1. Online casinos in the UK are perceived as a convenient and flexible entertainment format that fits easily into everyday life. Users can choose their own time and format of play based on their preferences. Convenient access across multiple devices makes the experience more versatile. Meanwhile, the development of online platforms is improving the quality of services, making them more stable, convenient, and user-friendly. This makes digital entertainment increasingly diverse and accessible to a wider audience.

  2. What a delightful birthday card design! The storybook theme with those cute critters is absolutely charming. I love how the layering creates so much depth — it really makes the characters pop off the page. The color palette is so cheerful too. I actually used a similar illustration approach for some AI-generated card designs on my site, and seeing traditional paper crafting like this is so inspiring. The die-cut details really elevate the whole piece. Thanks for sharing such wonderful inspiration!

  3. These critters are absolutely adorable! I love how Nichol always makes die cutting look so effortless. The fable bear and giraffe are my favorites from this collection. The storybook theme with the birthday card is such a sweet idea too. I was just looking for inspiration for my nieces birthday card next month and this might be perfect. Thanks for another amazing Making the Cut feature!

  4. What an adorable card design! The Fable Sitting Bear is just too cute and the storybook theme really makes it feel special. I love how Nichol used the Olo markers to color the critters. I recently started using an AI image tool to generate custom card backgrounds and the results have been amazing for adding unique textures and patterns. The die cutting details on this birthday card are so precise. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial!
