Christmas Card Club: Christmas candles

Hello all! I do hope you are well and managing to stay focused in these strange times - things have really changed fast haven't they? I am now teaching from home via zoom - and also trying to keep my girls focused and happy. I am glad they are good girls!

This fortnight our Christmas Card Club has the theme Christmas candles - I used a TH die and a stamp from the front of craft stamper to make my 4 cards:

I started by making the gelli prints that make the backgrounds, then did the stamping and colouring and finally added the diecuts.

Quite pleased with them!

My mum used memorybox dies to make her two cards:



They are very pretty!

Hope you manage to stay safe!

Big hugs

  3. Hi Rachel, glad to hear that you are all keeping safe, well and occupied through this troublesome time.
    The TH die makes a beautiful textured candle which creates a great focal point on your cards.

  11. Love your set of candles. You can almost see the wax running down the sides of them. Very realistic. Unsettling times indeed they are. Keep safe and well. Hugs Mrs A.

  12. Hi Gwen. Your cards look so classic. Love the red and white in opposite form. I have this due cut and my other twomcards would have been made using it though they wouldn’t have looked half as good as yours. Stay safe in these troubling times. Hugs Mrs A.
