Just Inklined To Hop - Christmas Is Coming

       Good Morning all!

 Welcome to Just Inklined's Blog Hop for November!

  This month's theme is Christmas Is Coming hosted by me

 Dawn

Here's my project!

I made a little CAS card with a matching candle!

I did lot's of these last year & they were very popular!

I coloured the image with my Sakura pens to add a little sparkle.

Added some washi tape to the candle & a few self adhesive pearls to the card!

I'm off to package up the candle!

Here's the hop order in case you get lost! LOL!

Hi all, I'm back with my second post today!

This is the DT Project I made using a

Delicious Doodles image, for the new NOT A Card challenge at

The Crafting Cafe! 

I used Teri's fantastic Bark At The Moon image to decorate a candle!

I didn't have a lot of time but I really wanted to do this!

I printed the image on to tissue paper, put on to the candle then 

wrapped with greaseproof paper & heat set it!

Next I added some black Jaipur Lace from my stash et voila!

I packaged the candle in gusseted bag with a card backing using a couple of glue dots 

to keep it in place & added a little ribbon & a matching gift tag.

I hope you like it,

Don't forget to play along at The Crafting Cafe!

Anything But A Card

Good morning lovely readers!

It's time for a new challenge at Crafting For All Seasons.

The theme this time is

#67 Anything But A Card.

I've decorated a candle. I used an image from our sponsor

Robyn's Fetish he's called Carl The Snowman cute huh!

I printed the image onto some tissue paper, coloured it with Flexmarkers

then cut around it & placed it on the candle. I then wrapped a length

of greaseproof paper around it & heated with my heat gun, starting at

the edges & working my way into the middle until the tissue paper was

covered with a layer of wax.

I then added some Washi Tape, silver peel off star borders & stars from 

my stash. I've had them for years & years! 

I made a little base from some card decorated with Washi Tape,then placed in a bag

which I closed together with more tape. I also added a little gift tag.

Here's a closer look at the candle without it's packaging.

Thanks for looking & I hope you can join us for the

Anything But A Card challenge this time!

Good morning all!

It's a  tad windy out there today! 

If you do have to go out, please stay safe!

A quick post from me today as I share my second 

Just Inklined make of the week with you!

I've decorated a candle & made a little card to match.

The image I used is Santas Tipple!

One of the nicest Santa images around & just one of the many 

Christmas digital stamps over at Just Inklined!

Printed on to tissue,I coloured him up with flexmarkers then

added to the candle. A little bit of Washi tape & some ribbon

& hey presto! The card was quick & simple.

With just some washi tape to embellish.

Altered Art & A DT Call

Good morning all!

Todays project is something a little different for me!

Over at The Crafting Cafe this month, the theme is

Altered Art!

I haven't done much in the way of altered art but here's what I came up with!

I altered a candle by adding the wonderful image

 Working The Land by the lovely Teri over at

 Delicious Doodles

who is sponsoring our challenge this month!

Simples! 

This is something I have been meaning to try for ages.

I changed the colour of the image in word then printed it onto some

tissue paper which I had taped to normal printer paper.

I cut around the image, leaving a border then held against the candle

& heated with my heat gun until the wax melted enough to encase the tissue.

If you try this at home remember to be careful, it's HOT!

I wanted to go with a rustic look, so I added a little magic mesh, a piece of  

cotton ribbon & a layered paper flower with some punched leaves. The items

I have used have all been in my stash for years, so it's good to use them up!

Simple but effective! 

I would recommend removing the embellishments before lighting the candle!

Don't forget we are running a DT call alongside the challenge this month.

If you want to be part of our fun team, all you need to do is 

add DT after your name when you link up your project!
