Season of Joy Candle Set

This post is very short but sweet.

I told you that my candles were going well, so here is another set I had an order for. For this set I've used the Season of Joy stamp set, real red ribbon, red gingham ribbon and

silver brads. I still have more candles to make so you'll be sick of looking at them by the end of December lol. I am entering this set into the 'Our Creative Corner' Challenge, the theme is 'The holidays are here!', the Charisma Cardz challenge the theme is Red , Green and White and the Cupcake Craft Challenge the theme is Sing a Christmas Carol. ( Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree....)

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Hi Peeps, Its been a while but its not that I haven't been crafting, just not computing, my computer is so slow at the minute, don't know why, maybe it just needs a little holiday lol. Anyway, here are a few projects I've been making the last few weeks using the cute little Sparkly and Bright stamp set. These were all orders for other people, I've had so many orders lately that I don't have one card made for myself! Can't complain though as the money is handy at this time of year. If you've never tried stamping onto candles you really have to give it a try, matching your candles to cards and tags is a wonderful gift for someone. (There are tutorials on how to do this on you tube) Oh have you noticed my new Eyelet Border Punch? I love how it creates a beautiful lacy edge to my cardstock. I'm just noticing how many punches I've used on these projects, Eyelet Border Punch on my card, Scallop Border Punch on my tag bag topper, the tag punch, small tag punch, Scallop Circle Punch and the 1 3/4 Circle Punch on my tags! lol. And don't forget you can get the tag punch or the small tag punch for free with a qualifying order from the Gift Giving Guide, check it out here. I am entering these projects into the following challenges:

Candles In A Bag

Hi there, Just a quick post as I'm absolutely exhausted, I can hardly keep my eyes focussed on the screen at the moment, usually I get a bit of a lie in at the weekends but one of my daughter has a winter event on at horse's which means early starts on Saturday and Sunday for 5 weeks, its catching up with me now. Anyway, I made these little candles yesterday, I thought they would make lovely teachers gifts for Christmas and they are so easy to make. There are many you tube video and tutorials on how to make them but basically you stamp your image on some tissues/ tissue paper, cut around the image, place it on the candle, wrap some greaseproof/ wax paper around the candle tightly, heat the image with a heat gun and repeat the process if your using more than one image. You can also embellish your candle like I have by pushing brads into the centre of the flowers. I then popped the candle into a cellophane bag, added a little tag and tied with ribbon. Now you can make candles to match your cards!
