When Father Christmas got stuck in the chimney

As it was April Fools Day on Friday, there are a few challenges around asking for a funny card to be made, so I found a Father Christmas joke on the internet and made a card with a pocket to hide the answer until it's pulled out.

The snowflake background paper was free with a magazine and the striped paper is a piece of Basic Grey. The Anita's Santa in the chimney stamp is one that I love - coloured with copics - but I don't think I used it at all last Christmas, so I'm entering it for Pollycraft 87 'old/neglected stamp'.

Please excuse the quality of the scan (better irl):

Thinking about it afterwards, I think I ought to add a piece of ribbon at the top of the pull out piece to make it more obvious that it can be pulled up.

This is for:

Incy wincy 88: include a pocket
365 cards day 32: April fools - make a funny card
Alota 56: April fools day - something funny
Phindy's Friday: humour - make us smile
Jingle belles: Batman smells - April fool's holiday card creations
Bah! humbug 13: cards that make you giggle
For fun: Christmas is here
Craft your passion 52: anything goes
Bugaboo: anything goes

Now I must make sure that tomorrow I get on with Easter and commissioned birthday cards etc.

    Aren't you so clever! All of the Christmas jokes I could find were riddles and I didn't want to make a card that you had to open to get the joke. It never occurred to me to do a pullout card like this! Love it!
