I've been having fun with these candle wraps that I found in Hobbycraft....
Of course, I knew as soon as I saw them that they would not go near a candle in my house, I wanted them for cards. Pretty, intricate, lacy borders, all ready cut out for me, how could I resist?.....
I kept to the 'love theme' for these two cards, but they could just as easily be used for regular birthday cards as you will see tomorrow.....
Anyone want some of these? I have 15 in a pack for someone, and I will throw in this month's copy of Papercraft Inspirations magazine and the freebies that came with it (be sure to check out pages 54 & 55!) If you fancy these, just leave a comment under this post, I will draw a winner on Sunday and let you know on Monday
Three out of four cards done for my next magazine commission. I'm a happy bunny, hopefully the last one will be finished today, then just the dreaded step-by-step instructions to do and they should be in the mail by Wednesday. Result! See you tomorrow x
These are beautiful!! I would love to have these and the chance to work with them! Thanks for the opportunity!

Hey En, Love these cards. When I first saw these sweet little candle wraps I felt the same way. Not on candles, I have cats that get way too curious about burning candles. So now fire and paper together for me. lol I'd love to win some of them too. And the mag is my fave of all the UK mags! Perfect fit for me. Hugs, Jess
ReplyDeleteThese are just GORGEOUS!! I love the candle wraps :) SO lacy and delicate, and perfect for the beautiful cards you created.

All the best to you.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea Enfys - a much better use for these.
Love how you used a bow on the easel card Enfys ;- ) What a cool idea. I'd love to see your cards in Papercraft as well. No one near me sells it :- ( maybe I'll see them online if I don't win. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that you made these cards (which, btw, I adore). When you posted these candle wraps on Monday, I was thinking that I would never use them as candle wraps, yet my mind was racing with other crafting goodies that they could be used for. I think you have read my mind! Lovely cards! =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to repurpose those wraps, Enfys. Especially love the white against the plain red. Thanks for the chance to win some.
ReplyDelete"WOW" Enfys.......Thank you for a chance to win these amazing and wonderful candle wraps they are truly stunning who wouldn't want a pack of them l would just love to be your winner and to recieve a copy of the Papercraft Magazine too with all it's freebies your truly so generous and it's a pleasure being part of your blogging community what you have created using these wraps are stunning as always thank you look forward to seeing more of your wonderful creations x
ReplyDeleteAwesome, those cards are darling.
ReplyDeleteThanks much for the opportunity to win them.
I can see how you could use these to make many different colored wedding cards, using the main color for the card base. Can you color them with alcohol markers? I see cutout possibilities for them too, just using parts of them on cards. What a great find!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card...as usual! Great wraps...would love to win!
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea! Can't wait to meet you in person in your workshop on the 25th January - I am so excited x
