Summer Gifts D
There’s nothing quite like a handmade gift and card to show someone that you really care
reaming of a sunny seaside break? It’s hard to beat fish and chips on the beach with the sand between your toes, but these colourful makes from Sizzix are the next best thing! No matter where you are, the long, lazy days of summer were made for crafting, and there’s no better place to kick-start your creativity than with these smiling die-cut sea dwellers. But your die cutting machine won’t be the only star of the show. These fab crafts will also help you try your hand at heat embossing and making a shaker card.
