Today I'm making a Christmas Gnome Star Spinning Puzzle card, showing a way to make sure your pieces are nice and smooth, and a more basic card using one of my Christmas stencilled backgrounds that needed a little rescuing to stop to shedding glitter.
Lots of tips and tricks today including how to get nice spacing around your die-cut images, but don’t give up on those backgrounds you have created, there usually a way to save them somehow!
These cards came together quickly - apart from the time I took to stop my glitter shedding!
