From seasonal decorations to handy bookmarks, Sara Davies always wows us with her brilliant quick and easy craft tutorials. Her latest idea is just as impressive and this one is perfect for gifting.

The entrepreneur and Dragon's Den star posted a guide to making a homemade card on Instagram in celebration of her Crafter's Companion colleague Ben Moseby's birthday.

"Aww so it’s our @benmosebycc birthday today so I thought he’d love a homemade birthday card (safe to say he did absolutely love it)!" Sara wrote in the caption. "These are the new @crafterscompanion number dies and they are so perfect for getting into die cutting and paper crafting!"

In the video, Sara can be seen cutting numbers out of patterned card using the Crafter's Companion die cutting machine along with a set of number dies. A die cutting machine uses metal dies or blades to cut shapes out of card, fabric and other materials. You can find out more about how the process works in our beginner's guide to die cutting.

The birthday card isn't the only innovative die cutting project Sara has shared on social media recently. In April, she showed us how to make a pretty butterfly garland which she painted and layered before hanging it up in her home.
