Christmas Crackers

 As its our first Christmas back down in Brisbane - and because we're the ones with the pool - we will be having Christmas Lunch / Dinner at our place. 

Its been a long time since I've had a Christmas get together and for the past 10yrs have tagged along at Orphan Parties as we have lived so far from Family.

So I decided to get into the spirit of things and finally decorate the Christmas Cracker Kits I bought about 12yrs ago.

That's right!  12yrs ago I got some Cracker kits from Lincraft when they were having their Clearance sales.  These ones are just plain white card and come with hats, crackers, the ribbon and some very very bad jokes.

I went to PrintBlocks yesterday and picked up a paper pack that was on special and proceeded to cover the crackers.  Not very traditional colours but fun and merry.

I decided to test out the new Tim Holtz Rosette Dies (will be loaded on website soon) and the Cuttlebug Rosette Die that I received last week. So quick and simple to do and look amazing.





With the snowflake decorate strip, it cuts two different types of snowflake rosettes. The bes thing with these rosettes are that they are not to big and chunky but still add that bit of depth to your project.

I also had to try out the Cuttlebug Rosette.  This pack is good as you get a total of 3 Rosettes all in different sizes and decorative edges.  I chose to use the largest.  This is fine for a big project but not recommend for smaller projects that need to go in the post.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Till next time

Happy Crafting
