Christmas Crackers

Moving along with the times have this cue
'Anything but a card'
So I thought I'd share my Christmas crackers with you.

 
I usually make a little something to put inside, you can see previous ones here 2017 and 2016 but this year my inners didn't really work so I just used some store bought chocolates.
The coloured paper is actually a wrapper from a discontinue line of soaps so it had printing on it. To cover that I up added the oval with the letter on it. I distressed the edges of the oval.
 
Supplies:
Cuttlebug
Die: Spellbinders Nestabilities small oval
        Letters: Lifestyle Crafts Manhattan
Ribbon in green and gold
Ink: Cats eye in lime
