Hi everyone!
These are the table favours which I made for my family for our Christmas Day Lunch. Each cracker had a Lindt chocolate bear placed inside. I originally saw the crackers at Convention in November and were inspired by them.
The crackers were very easy to make with the new Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board! I had purchased one of these a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait to play with it. The envelope punch board really is a
versatile piece of equipment. The board can
be used not only to make envelopes, but also boxes in a variety of
shapes and sizes and other 3D items such as crackers.

Each
cracker is made from a single sheet of one of the papers from the
designer series paper stacks. I chose two different patterns from the
‘Winter Frost’ Each sheet measures 4.5″x6.5″.

You can make a cracker in just a
couple of minutes. I decorated mine with some silver ribbon and

As well as using the crackers for table favours, they could also be given as
special gifts. Items such as make-up and jewellery could be hidden
