12 Days of Christms~~Mason Jar Candle

OK, I know it said a Mason jar candle, however, the Dollar Store did not have any Mason jars, and I was sick with bronchitis when I was trying to do this tutorial, so I made mine a wine glass candle.  Hopefully the Mason jar candle police won't come after me!  LOL  I really did just get a $1 decorated wine glass and a matching candle, along with the Epsom salts at the Dollar store for this project.  So $3 + the cost of a little bit of ribbon. The tag probably looks familiar if you've been following along with us on the 12 Days of Christmas blog hop.  :-)

Stamps:  Holiday Tags
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Real Red, Garden Green
Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black
Misc:  Copics, Ribbon, 1 1/4" punch, candle, Epsom salts

Thanks for stopping by today to see our projects. 

Happy Stamping!

Today's project is coasters.  I bought these glass photo coasters at M's on sale.  I used my copics to color them and put gold stickles in the middle of each poinsettia.  I used the stamp set "Seasonal Poinsettias.  Since you can easily slide the stamped images in and out, you could make beautiful coasters for every season of the year!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop Day 1~~Bind it All

Speedy the Cat at Mark's Finest Papers likes to get a head start on special Christmas gifts and memories for friends and family.

This is my Bind it All project closed.  I covered chip board with designer paper from my stash and used "Little Birds with Big Mouths" as my focal image. 

This is the inside of my project.  I bought a calendar and notepad from the dollar bin at M's and put it on the inside.  Since I used chip board, I can keep this in my purse and it won't get all dog eared. 

My second Bind it All project is a Christmas theme

This is a small note pad that I stamped with Versa Mark ink using the Stamp set "Cardinals in Winter" and heat embossed in Silver. I used 4x4 inch coasters and covered them inside and out in Dark Night Navy by Mark's Finest Papers.  I stamped each of the inside pages with the small cardinal in night of navy ink.
