 Today I am sharing another of my Christmas Spinning Puzzle Cards Series focusing on flower and circle nesting dies to make interactive poinsettia and wreath Christmas cards with minimal supplies. Today's video is about ways you could batch make, keep dimension down for cheaper postage, and using up scraps. These ideas could easily be used to make birthday, thank you, hello, etc. cards as well. I won't be focusing on the spinning puzzle assembly so much, so if you've never seen this type of card and want a full tutorial on how to make a flower Spinning Puzzle Card, please head to this video and check out the flower card first: https://youtu.be/U0RIAxZT1zU 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: https://youtu.be/4G6VILMbrhw The live stream for the red a gold poinsettia card is here: https://youtube.com/live/ZyDZGyjU3UM And the short version is here: ...

 I used the Altenew Poinsettia and Pine stamp set and XCut Nesting Flower dies to make a Christmas spinning puzzle card with a fun shape, but the idea can be adapted to any floral image for any occasion.
