Its a Cracker!!

Good morning, hope you are all keeping warm! Today I have a card that I actually made last Christmas but I  haven't put it on my blog before.


The cracker was made using a template I have had for years. I think the paper was Papermania but not sure! The flowers are from Wild Orchid and I have added some Stickles to them.  The foilage is a MS punch and the bells are made with a Marianne Creatables die.  I have added some Gold Embossing powder around the edges of the cracker and the sentiment has been done with Gold Embossing powder then cut and matted with SB dies, ribbon from my stash.

I would lie to enter the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Ooh-la-la Creations - Spots and Dots
Paper Playtime - Christmas Colours
The Ribbon Carousel - Holiday Spirit
The Stamping Boutique - Holiday Cards

I am planning on having just a crafty day today, I even went to Tesco and did the shopping last night so I didn't have to go out today!! Thank you for looking and a big thank you if you are able to leave a comment its always a pleasure to read them.  Hope you have a good day and take care. xx

Hi Susan, fabulous cracker. I love the bells (think I've just got that but haven't used it yet) and I love the glitter on the flower.
Enjoy your day crafting hun.
I went to Asda last night to get a few bits and spent £120!
I should have stayed at home crafting.

Well, everyone seems to know what "cracker" means but me. I thought perhaps it was one of those things that is a word difference from different countries? It looks like a piece of candy to me & it IS stunning! Thank you for joining us at The Stamping Boutique for Challenge #61 - Holiday Cards. We hope to see you in future challenges! Good Luck~Patti TSB DT
