This card measures 5ins x 5ins and uses a pre scored, white card blank from a bulk Hobbycraft pack.
The idea for this card came to me as I removed the Christmas jokes from crackers I refilled and used for Halloween. I am not sure if the idea worked, something isn’t quite right with the symmetry or perhaps it’s the sentiment, perhaps the letting is too black and heavy against the red text of the jokes?
Anyway, I covered the front of the card blank with a black, red, green and white print paper (Poundland Christmas paper pad last year).
Then I mat and layered the cracker jokes on red and then silver card. Arranging the four toppers on the card proved difficult, trying to get them to look balanced was made all the harder when I then added the sentiment, using black peel off letters (£1 per sheet Hobbycraft) ………
…… and then the holly confetti ……….. aghhhhhh!
For me it’s just not gelling, maybe a smaller card, just one topper and a Dymo label sentiment instead …… and no holly …… perhaps I just need to go back to the drawing board.

Cute idea. I'm sure you'll get it all sorted. You'll also need to add an apostrophe to "Its Christmas," so that it reads "It's Christmas."
