Make one for christmas

I have seen ready made xmas cracker blanks online for sale but I thought they were expensive for what they are so I was determined to sit down and make my own from scratch from a piece of A4 card and with one of my Martha Stewart punches and I must say its looks quite similar to the online ones.

The images I have used are from a digi set called Mr Frosty which is by Hope Jacare Doodles and is available in the Stitchy Store.

 I have used the following Copics and Promarkers to colour the images, C00, Y17, E35, G21 and Berry Red

I have also used a Digi circle sentiment from Crafty Sentiments, gold card, green card, red roses, a leaf punch, gold peel offs and gold ribbon.

I decided to make another one of my stepper easel cards which I created by combining my 2 favourite styles of card, easels and stepper cards.

I have used musical paper but I was thinking of a few songs that would fit this image and came up with Forever in blue jeans and Sweet Sixteen.

The image I have used is called Sweet Thing and is by Stitchy Bear Stamps, its available in the Stitchy Store HERE. I have coloured the image with Copics. I cut out the image with ovals and scallop ovals nesties. The musical notes are die cuts from a Die-namics die set.

The gorgeous paper I have used was a freebie digi paper from Bearly Mine, I love the colour of it.

I have also used some flowers, punched some stamens and used card candi from Craftwork Cards in the centre of the flowers.

I made the record in the front for a stopper by just using circle nesties and added a die cut note in the centre.
