Today I am sharing the second of my Christmas Spinning Puzzle Cards Series focusing on star nesting dies to make interactive, elegant Christmas cards and some with a more cute or playful look. Today's video is more about ways you could batch make; making lots of cards for Christmas, get children involved in the making process, and using up scraps. I won't be focusing on the making process so much, so if you've never seen this type of card and want a full tutorial on how to make a Star Spinning Puzzle Card, please head to this video and check out the dinosaur card first:
I show you how to use faster crafting styles to make many cards that are the same, but with variations. As usual I use different card making techniques throughout: pattern paper, stamping, die-cutting, colouring, heat embossing etc.
If you want to see more detail on how to hide your brad in the centre of your images, please check out the first video in my Christmas Spinning Puzzle series here:

These are perfect makes for Christmas in July 2023, and for batch making closer to Christmas. They are brilliant for using up all the scraps you have, especially for the hidden liner pieces that you can tailor to suit your image with mirri card, coloured card or even using your colouring mediums. These are also perfect pattern paper stash busters.
