Our Final Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Any Christmas or New Year Creation

 

Today is the last challenge on Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge - I'm going to miss our Saturday Christmas challenges.

Today's challenge theme is 'any Christmas or New Year creation' and as it's our last challenge I'm sharing something a bit different - a box of crackers and matching card I made at a recent Stampin' Up Zoom class.

For more details about the challenge and to see the projects from the rest of the team, head over to the challenge blog here.

Here's a view inside the box:

And we also made this matching card:

The box has an acetate lid and four crackers - they can be opened and used for gifts.

New Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Any Christmas or New Year Creation

 

We're back today with a new challenge on Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Blog.  Very sadly the challenge is closing at the end of the year so we only have this challenge and one on 31 December to go.  I've been part of Hazel's team for a long time and it's going to seem very strange not posting a Christmas card on a Saturday.

Anyway, back to today's new challenge - you can link up any Christmas or New Year Creation.  All the details about the challenge are here on the challenge blog where you can also see the cards from the rest of the team.

Here's another view of my card:
