Stamped Candles

These candles were decorated using white tissue paper (like that used in gift bags). We stamped the paper and then used markers to color in the images. Next we held the tissue paper against the candle and used an embossing tool to head the candle. The melting wax caused the tissue paper to stick to the candle.

Tiered Cupcake Holder

I love these cupcake stands! I think I am going to have to attempt to make one (or more) before the next tea party. So pretty!!

Check out the Giver's Log for details on how to make this project.

Photo Gift Cards!

Looking for another way to personalize a gift? Check out the details at The Idea Room for how to add a framed 4x6 photo to a gift. It's such a cute idea. And even better, she uses a grease pen to write on the glass, adding text or funny accessories.

I think I'll have to keep an eye out for cute 4x6 frames when I'm at the discount stores!
