Last of the festiveness! & Candle Tutorial

Morning all! 

I certainly hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! I did! and man i'm stuffed! i've finally been let out of the kitchen! haha (those who are on my facebook and twitter will know!) lol!

I'm here today to share the news of the issue of Die Cut Crazy (i know im a lil late it's been out a few weeks) but i've been so busy so better late than never! of course it's jam packed full of creativeness from all the DCC Family inc me! so i'm here this morning to share a few of my projects that can be found in this months mag! don't worry you'll still be able to purchase it even when Jan issue is out! why not subscribe ;-) that way you'll not miss any!! hehe! 

So here's some peeks of projects you can find from me!

It’s nice to receive and send your non-traditional cards at this time of the year, but I myself only being 28 have a love for a little different yet traditional at the same time which is why I created this Angel card! Keeping in line with a quite Traditional Image, but yet a modern feel packed with embellishments and a lovely hanging charm (which the recipient could choose to keep!) I actually created this card for our Stop4Life counselor who's helped me and my hubby on our journey and we've successfully quit!!! yay! and i for one with all the stress never thought i ever would! more pennys for craftyness eh! haha! I'm hoping to jet off to Miami next year! wahoo!!! can't wait!

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:

Pumpkin spice - #52 Anything Goes
Totally Papercrafts – No. 197 - Christmas using Non-Traditional Colors
Cute Card Thursday -  #301 Anything Goes
Creative Belli -#185  Christmas (2nd week)


*Card Recipe*

*C/Stock - Stampin' Up! Very Vanilla & Whisper White
DSP -  Forever Friends Christmas
*Image - Lili of the valley
*Sentiment - From Stash
*Embellishments  - Gems from Meiflower, Prima Flowers, Buttons/Pearls and Charm from stash
*Ribbon - American Crafts
*Die Cutting - Silhouette Cameo

For my second project I decided to make something as a gift....

I’m all for handmade at this time of the festive period and love giving personalized gifts to my friends and family! This project is inexpensive and super quick! And perfect for my friend whom i made it for! Again I love the fact i can use my Cameo to design virtually anything i like! So i've written a lil how to...

  Take a pillar candle (preferably one that comes with cello wrap, makes a nice gift to be able to wrap it back up) and the bonus is you can use any colour size and smelly ones too!
  Carefully unwrap so that you can re-wrap it back up!


  Using sheets of any colour vinyl along with die cutters you can create any shapes for your candles (please remember that vinyl is flammable so these are intended as decoration when used on actual candles). And gently smooth them onto the surface!

  Re wrap your candle and there you go quick simple yet effective handmade gift! Not just for Christmas but any occasion!


I'd like to enter my candle to the following challenges:
Crafty Calendar  -  December Cold and Frosty
Little Claire's   - (Nov/Dec) #40  Make a gift

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!
And don't forget to check out the Magazine! I've lots more projects inside and of course the awesomeness from the rest of the DCC Family!
 I'd love if you'd leave a comment to let me know your thoughts!
