Winter Wonderland Cracker

Happy Monday everyone!

It has been a productive day in the shed!

Two video tutorials uploaded onto Youtube, 1 x christmas cards and 1 x christmas reindeer tags 🙂

This evening I made a winter wonderland christmas cracker, featuring some gorgeous red cardinal patterned paper from SEI as part of the Silver Valley collection..

I got the tutorial for this cracker from Docrafts Channel over on Youtube, please find the link >>> here 

 

I really struggled to get a decent photograph this evening, the cracker is actually quite big, If it is a nice day tomorrow, I will try and get a better snap..

Supplies:-

• Smooth Dark Red Cardstock from American
• SEI Silver Valley Patterned Paper& winter wonderland cardstock piece
• Rosette Trim in Creak
• Silver Glitter Paper
• Lifestyle Crafts Snowflakes die set
• American Crafts Edge Punch
• Silver Metal corner embelishments from Wild Orchid Crafts
• Red Line Tape

I think tomorrow I might try and record a video for these and try and scale them down a bit into fun sized crackers 🙂

Thanks for popping round
