Bo Bunny Enchanted Tea Light Candle Card

Hey Everyone,
 Hope the week is going well for yas.  Mine is okay so far, can't really complain.  The best part of my day is coming home to play in the stamp room; always looking forward to that.  This past weekend I had the opportunity to look at some cards and while I was browsing, I found this really cool card.  The card is called a Tea Light Candle Card.  I saw it on TracysTreasures24 You Tube channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joGqASqaif8.  Her and her daughter made some very nice candle cards gifts (thumbs up T and baby T).  Tracy saw the card on Leonie's blog http://www.youtube.com/user/MyPassionForPaper?email=comment_received#p/u/3/GynIRooZR6Q . Leonie gives the details of how show she made her beautiful tea light candle card. Both of these ladies got the instructions from Stampartic DT member Marianne http://stampartic.blogspot.com/2010/09/tea-light-card.html .  Many, many thanks to all 3 ladies.   Well of course I had to give it a try.  It wasn't  hard at all, even though the measurements are in centimeters it was still very easy and straight forward.  I made a demo first (just to be on the safe side), it came out perfect.  I then decided I was brave enough to cut my beautiful, beautiful Bo Bunny Enchanted paper.   Instead of 6 tea light candles I put in 8 of the Snickers mini candies; they fit perfectly.   Here are some photos of my finished project.  One thing I will caution you on; I used printed paper for the card instead of using cardstock  and using the printed paper for the matting.  After handling the project so much the score lines started tearing.  I plan to make a couple more, I will use the cardstock for the base of the card as Marianne, Leonie, and Tracy did; it makes the card durable.
The Bo Bunny paper (if you haven't had a chance to see it) has glazed embossing and sugar frosted embossing on it.  It is simply gorgeous!!  I really love this card. I hope you'll give it try.

Other supplies I used: MS Love Punch (discontinued), SU 5/8" Real Red Satin Ribbon, Oval Nesties, Acetate for the window, SU Basic Black CS, Snickers Mini candy bars, and any time I make something with a pocket or a box I use a stronger adhesive such as Sticky Tack or Score Tape.

Be back soon, got lots of new toys coming-Joyce
