 Hey stampers, welcome to another week of Watch It Weekly Wednesday. I'm Beth, part of the Stamping Jill creative team, and I'm so excited to show you what I've come up with today. My sister-in-law Jennifer served a mission for our church in England a couple of years ago, and she brought home a really fun tradition with her. It's called Christmas crackers. We take these cute little Crackers, and we break them apart. We love this tradition so much. It would be fun to incorporate into any holiday. So for my idea today, I took the cute cracker template that I made up, and I made them for every holiday that's coming up for your season. So let me show you first one of these crackers that I've made. Here's one. I thought this would be cute for Christmas, but I think it also could go for Thanksgiving because it's kind of that copper metallic. It's so pretty. This brightly gleaming designer series paper. So a cracker, you hold on both sides, and you pull it apart. I'm going to show you later how to do that. But there's little prizes on the inside for your family. There's jokes, and there's a cute little paper crown, and then there's a little toy. And it says a fun tradition that we've come up with as a family. We really love it. So let me show you the template of how I did this. With the brightly gleaming suite, we have these gleaming ornaments punch pack. And this is the key that you'll want to create your crackers. Is this the smaller ornament out of the punch pack? Bring in my scoring tool here. So I made a couple of different sized ones. I worked with a 7 by 10 piece of DSP and a 6 by 6 piece of designer series paper. So if you're going to use a 6 by 6 piece, you want to score at every inch and a half on that. And if you do your 7 by 10 inch piece, you want to score at every 1 and 3 quarter inch on those. And then what you'll do after you've scored it, is you'll take your punch, you'll line it up right down the middle of your score line, and you'll punch it out. You want to push the punch all the way in, so that it's as far in as it goes on the paper. And then your ornaments will line up. So you're going to do that. You're also going to do on this side here, and on this side here. Just like so. So I've started this. This is what your 6 by 6 piece would look like. And you want to pay attention to the direction. If you have a directional piece of DSP, how your stripes are going to go, or how your ornaments are going to go, because they're going to fold like this. So you want to make sure before you start to score it, that you're scoring it the right way. So let me punch this side here, and I'll show you how to assemble it. So I've got that punched. Now I'm going to fold it. You just want to get your creases really nice and sharp. Make this one red. And you want to fold it on that so that your paper that you want on the outside is inward, like that. So that's how it's going to look at the end. I really liked using Taren tape for these. They held together really well, and I didn't have to worry about glue smudging on the rest of the project. Put down your piece of Taren tape, and peel it up. And then you're going to put this down, and it's going to form like a little triangle. And then you'll bring this piece up to create your cracker, just like that. That's what it's going to look like without ribbon. At this point, you would put your little treats inside, all the little things that you wanted for everyone to have. And then you'll adorn them with ribbon and other little embellishments so that they're nice and cute for your holiday. So this would be like a Christmas one. And then what we do is we link arms around the table like this, holding your cracker, and we all pull apart. And the one that you end up holding is yours. It's kind of a fun little tradition. We really like it. So let me show you a few of these that I've created using different designer series papers from the holiday catalog. We'll start with Halloween. Here's a cute Halloween inspired cracker from the Monster Bash DSP. I added just ribbon on the ends and some cute little googly eyes because I love that accessory from the holiday catalog. And then I moved to Thanksgiving, let's say. I think it would be cute to do around your Thanksgiving table. Maybe inside you could put things you're grateful for or other people could. And then you put them in and everyone could read them together. I really like this. These little feathers were so cute that Aubrey needed those added. So I added them for her because they were so cute. I also think this one could go for Thanksgiving. I love the copper elements for our holiday season, but for Thanksgiving, I think they work really well too. I added some little star embellishments here. And I did a little bit of surgery on this ribbon. I feel really sad that we don't have a copper ribbon because we have all these beautiful copper foil designer series paper. I did a little bit of surgery on this ribbon. I took the Rococo Rose gathered ribbon here that we have that has this beautiful copper detail, but it also has Rococo Rose on the edge and that didn't work for my project. So I just trimmed off the edges. It wasn't too labor intensive, but look how pretty we have this beautiful copper ribbon now. And I thought it was so fun. It makes it kind of flimsy and easy to tie. So it worked really well for this. Let me show you some other Christmas ones. This is from the plaid paper. This is a six by six size. And this is the night before Christmas designer series paper with the Santa hats. I like that one too. Here is the Let It Snow designer series paper. I added just some little red rhinestones here and I love this curly ribbon. It's so cute. And then we have this one that's a little more of a classic Christmas. And I love the way these ones turned out too. This is the same paper, just one side with the silver foil and one side with the scenes from the feels like frost designer series paper. These are also a six by six size. So pretty. So I hope you've been inspired by this video to create some new holiday traditions for your family using your craft supplies. I know most of you probably have a good designer series paper horde going on. This is a good thing to use your designer series paper on.
