Cooking Sprouts – Batch Make Christmas Cards

by Craftybabs // June 10, 2024 // No Comments

I have handmade all of my Christmas cards for a number of years now. I do have to start early as I make over 100 cards each year. Last Christmas I decided to use the super cute Hobby Art stamps ‘Christmas Green Things’ again. I first used them the previous year but loved them so much I came up with a new design using the same stamps. I printed then die cut the Sprout Puns. I used plain nesting circle dies to create the apertures in the cards and stamps from issue 210 of Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine stamped multiple times around the apertures to create wreaths. I used invisible thread to attach the sprouts as spinners within the apertures.

All Dressed Up – Masculine Birthday Card

by Craftybabs // June 7, 2024 // No Comments

Shirt Style Block easel card made for my Son In Law, mostly without dies except for XCut Button dies and Sizzix thinlits sentiment dies. I used thin strips of the paper to add realistic thread to the buttons. This is a great way to use up those patterned papers in your stash. I just love the box easel card style, it makes an otherwise ordinary card stand out from the crowd.
