Candle Christmas Cards

This book is such a great go to book for those last minute cards that you've forgotten to make, and I'm embarrassed to say I forgot quite a few again this year.

I particularly liked this candle card which I made in several colour schemes.

This card is great because all it uses is colored card and some sequins (which I always have in my craft stash) and only takes about ten minutes to make.

So I recommend this book highly as it's full of loads more fantastic cards.

Inspiration Ideas!!!

We have all suffered drom Crafters Block at one point or another, and it's not always easy to overcome. So I've compiled a list of top tips to help for when inspiration eludes you.


1- Visit haberdashery stores, the different textures, colours and patterns of the fabrics is sure to inspire. (This can also be done online for those of us who are a little lazier)

2- Reread old craft magazines. Magazines that have been gathering dust for months are full of ideas you wanted to try but never got round to. (Also craft books)

3- Visit blogs online. You can adapt any project to suit your own requirements by changing the colours, patterns, etc.

4- Craft fairs and shows. There are always lots of new products and demos to inspire.

5- Go through your photo albumn. Pictures of friends, family, nature, special occaisons, trips away etc will give you ideas.

6-Flick through your paper stash. Sometimes just looking at the different papers in your collection will get your creative juices flowing.

Hope this helps
