From three weeks ago?
This was my little teaser consisting of flameless tea lights, my new Martha Stewart score board and my copy of the Technique Junkies Fancy Folds and Motion Paper Crafts CD. Then I found that my mojo would not cooperate. Until yesterday, that is!
Ta Da! Here you have it; a Votive Card from my favorite crafting CD.
Serenity Prayer stamp by Inkadinkado, small shells by Rubber Stamp Tapestry, larger shells from The Stampin' Place, vintage seaside images from the By the Sea Plate by Oxford Impressions.
This card was made for someone who celebrated a huge milestone yesterday, but back in December, from the moment I saw this tutorial, I knew I also wanted to make them for all the mothers at the family get-together on Mother's Day. I was, however, less than thrilled with the idea of mixing flame with paper and ink, and was very happy when I found these flameless tea lights at my local Target, $10 for a dozen, each with a 72-hour battery life.
This was not as easy as some of the other fancy folds on the CD, and one of these days I will definitely invest in a 1 3/8" square punch so that I don't have to cut all of the openings by hand, but I love the result, and I have so many ideas for these that I can't wait to get back in my craft room and get them started.
In exam news, I decided I needed more time so I rescheduled for May 24th. Until then, I will be studying like crazy, but taking the occasional crafting break.
See you then!
Anna
