Tilda on a Candle Tutorial

Hi everyone, i thought i would attempt a tutorial for putting stamped images onto candles. I've used Magnolia' Tilda with Cat from the Little Christmas collection and coloured with Promarkers.


  Warning Picture Heavy Post
__________**************________

Products needed are Candle, Tissue Paper and Greaseproof or Baking paper.

Stamp your image onto the tissue paper and colour in. Carefully cut your image out leaving a small edge and place onto candle.

Holding the greaseproof paper tighly around your candle heat it up with your heat tool until the colours appear to show up brighter.

I repeated the process for the stamping on the back of the candle.

I then packaged the candle with cellophane and decorated.

I tied some of my gorgeous roses ribbon prize from Crafty Ribbons, added some real holly leaves, pink poppies and handmade pins.


Around the bottom i added some lace and buttons.

I hope this tutorial was helpful!!

My First Homemade Cracker

Good morning everyone, do you remember the Christmas card i made for my new Grandson? Well here's something else for him, his 1st Christmas cracker and my First attempt to create one. The stamp was a freebie from a mag' stamped onto a Marianne Design frame die cut and i coloured with Distress Inks and added some glitter. I punched a snowflake edge to go around the centre of the cracker and even used the waste bits to decorate the ends. I finished it off with some organza ribbon and i wrote out the sentiment on the back.
