I saw some card crackers that Bev Rochester had embellished on her blog here for little gifts to go in but saw they cost £7 for 10 which I thought was quite expensive so I thought if I spent some time on the measurements that I am sure I can make some of those but I wanted to be able to use any of my lovely Martha Stewart punches on the ends instead of just the three loops you get on each side of the bought ones that Bev has used.I know my one doesn't look as luxurious as Bev's but I did make mine from scratch with just a piece of A4 card.
I hope it might give other crafters inspiration to try and make them from scratch and save money at the same time which can't be bad.
