Tealights with Comfort & Hope

20200605_083514824_iOS

Recent global events have us all looking at things differently – for me this has crossed into the way I look at crafts. My posts earlier this week involved making, and subsequently posting, cards for team members who I would normally see every day at work. A 21st birthday and the welcoming of a new baby are events we would normally celebrate together in the office and present cards as part of this.

It made me think about other ways in which we can show we still care in times when we can physically see those we love. Today’s box is a great way of doing this with very little craft material needed. It houses 6 tea lights, the standard size ones you can usually get from supermarkets.

The Comfort and Hope stamp set gave the perfect sentiment to add onto the front, with a stamped off image to finish it off. How has crafting helped you during lockdown?

Mini Wine Bottle Wrap

Ahh, so it’s coming to that time of year when you’re starting to contemplate Bonfire Night, Christmas, Halloween.. Perhaps you’ve already received invites to parties around those times and are wondering what to do for gifts etc? This is a quick idea which can work for all occasions.

The wrap I have made suits a miniature bottle of wine and rather than being circular, wraps around the bottle in a hexagon style shape allowing panels of Designer Series Paper (DSP) to be displayed beautifully. To follow the shape of the bottle, the top edges are scored  and held with a vanilla twine bow.

To finish it off, I used a sentiment from the Treat Time stamp set and some bling in the form of Rhinestones – GORGEOUS!

Let me know how you get on with yours.

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
