First box is for Fluff and Co.
I went to a John Next Door work shop a while back and amongst other items we made a cracker using his die for the cracker base.(JND139 Facated Cracker) Of course at the end of the day the die along with a lot of the other dies we used made their way into my shopping trolly. The original crackers we made was in craft card but not being a lover of it I batch made these ones using red and green card stock. I then die cut various design papers and hand cut the triangles and stuck them on individually. The names are blanked out as I adhered them as I went along. The contents have been personalised so didn't want them getting muddled up. They all include a gift, party popper and a joke. I scoured the internet for appropriate jokes for each one.
Second box is for Not so little Boy anymore and Co. Rather a bigger box as an extended family around table.

Wow! these are fabulous, worthy of Harrods or somewhere classy - so much nicer too for being personalised with well chosen contents. Beginning to wish I'd succumbed to getting that die when I saw John on TV. Hope the penguins aren't causing too much mayhem.
These crackers look fantastic Mrs A! Beautifully designed, perfect Christmas colours and so elegant!

Oh they are gorgeous! So much more special than bought ones
OH MY WORD! These are absolutely stunning! I can't begin to imagine how you made them - so beautiful and all the more special that they're so very personal. Well worth the angst Mrs A!
Hugs

These are just beautiful and personalized too. They will love them. I can't stop laughing about the penguins coming my way. Thank you so much for your generosity but that is just too much. I can't accept a gift that valuable so they will be sent back to you along with krill, squid and some other small crustaceans. I have explained to the Post office that this is necessary to keep them alive and they concur. I'm truly sorry about the odor. Also, thanks for the joke you sent and the one today. Big hugs to you and the penguins, along with L'th.
WOW these are absolutely stunning -very expensive looking and personalised too-brilliant

The André Rieu concert was unforgettable. It was a real feast with great and enthousiastic musicians. We have enjoyed it very much!

What stunning crackers. I love that you were able to personalise them. I suspect that Little L'th had something to do with you not using that joke!
These look fantastic, festive and I'm sure they'll be so much fun to open and see/read what's inside! Each one is special and what a fab surprise to open for the recipients! Nice job on them all! Have a very merry Christmas season!
Wow wow wow!!! Your crackers are just glorious!! Love them so much and pinned! Such amazing feel with the mirri and those wonderful poinsettias!! Surely at the table all your family will say "wow!" too :D and will be so fun opening them and have also a joke!
The one you choose for the final of the post is so true, thinking about L'th!! :D LOL
Big hugs and have a very Joyful and Peaceful Christmas!

Well done Mrs. A the crackers are beautiful especially with the mirrored cardstock....what a lovely little gift to pass around.
Stunning creations, love them to bits, like the joke you didn't use.
So as I have not bought any crackers yet, round the table will be Kath, Chris, Lynda, Ethan and Austin, just five as John will be in Porto Rica and I can't expect you to make him one and leave all the crew and guests out.
