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?

Best Wishes,

That’s right, I’m back!

What better time to come back to the world of blogging and sharing than the new Stampin’ Up 2020-2021 catalogue? I have remained a demo during the time I’ve been away from my blog, so have plenty of goodies to show you – I can’t wait!

There is a product in every catalogue that turns up and looks so much better than the photos can give justice. The rainbow glimmer paper is that item in this year’s catalogue, it is absolutely gorgeous!

This card was made for a member of my team in my day job, who turned 21 last week. With such a milestone birthday, I felt it was only right to make a card with such amazing product. Because I didn’t want to distract too much away from the gorgeous rainbow gradient, I went for a simple silhouette look using dies from the Happy and Well Written sets.

I think you’d agree the paper makes the card really special!

Best Wishes,
