Paper Folding

I thought I would try my hand at some paper folding 

I Google'd some images and came up with this Christmas tree design which I really like 

All of the papers except the music sheet are from Stamping Dragons  Designs and are from the Christmastide Paper Pack 

The papers have made the card have a vintage feel which I really like

The inspiration and the tutorial for making the folds came from Purple Fearie

No Card Today But I Do Have My Holly Rose Candle

I am really pleased with this little crafty make 

I have only tried to use a stamp on a candle once before and I made a bit of a hash of it.

But when I saw this Holly Rose Digi from Stamping Dragon Designs I couldn't resist having another go

My goodness finding plain white tissue paper and and the right candle this time of year was a mean feat in itself! all the shops are carrying is festive candles and festive colour tissue paper grrrr ..

Well I managed to scrape some tissue paper from the deepest depths of my craft stash and Morrisons came to my rescue for the yummy vanilla scented candle.

It took an age to carefully cut around the digi after colouring with Promarkers. I heated it all up with my heat gun and Voila!! I like it

I added some stickles and punched a pretty little wrap for the base with mt MS punch The papers are again from the Stamping Dragon and from the Christmastide collection

The ribbon is Anitas  

I made a matching carton for it below 

I would like to enter this make into the

  Digi Doodle Shops Challenge which is red and green

and

  My Time To Craft which is two of something - I have two ribbons on my candle

Moving Along With The Times Let It Snow - I have glitter snow on my candle 

Truly Scrumptious which is Pearls or Vintage I think my candle has a vintage feel 

Don't forget our challenge over at the Dragons Lair is still running

Stamping With The Dragon - Fall Colours

How excited am I to bring you my first project as part of the Design Team for Stamping With The Dragon! The Theme this week is Fall Colours and is being Sponsored By Meljen's Designs. I have used Happy Fall.

I have seen lots of shaped cards being used in Blogland so thought I would have a go at cutting one on my Silhouette. I purchased the file from Silhouette and set to work cutting it.... about 5 sheets of card later I got there! That darn machine is so picky about what it will and won't cut LOL So what should have been a fairly quick make took the best part of two hours all in all!!

On the other hand the Digi Stamp was a dream to print and colour

I changed the stamp from black outline to brown and then coloured with my Promarkers 

I added some Stickles and ut the circle with my Fiskars Circle Cutter 

I coloured a yellow ribbon with a Brown Promarker

added a flower from my stash and some gems

Hope you will take part the winner gets 4 images
