I love messing about with templates and this was no exception!
I don't actually remember where I looked for this one, but it appealed immediately.
After printing and cutting out the template, I decorated the cracker with my SU Baroque Border Stampin' Around Wheel, heat embossing the design in gold.
I added a Vintage label punched out with my Scallop Circle Punch. I thought that these might make good Christmas Day place markers... with a small gift inside!

ReplyDeleteWOW!! Stunning Chrissie I love the gold embossing, your whole cracker looks very luxurious I would much rather have those on my table on Christmas day than any shiny foiled ones.
