There you have to donate a penny or two, or the amount you can offer.

The money goes to people in Chile who have lost everything they had!

Is'nt this a great idea for a candy?

Small things may cause big changes for someone who really needs it!

Template Tea-Light Card

Hi everybody!

I've got a couple of questions on how to make my tea-light card, so I drew a template for you :)

And I wrote down the instructions (in english) on how to make it as well :)

You may still watch Anetth's tutorial here!

Instructions:

Start with a cardstock in size 16 x 30 cm, then score at (from the left) 1 cm, 3 cm, 7 cm, 9 cm and 21,5 cm. The part that is left, should now be 8,5 cm.

Decorate all sides with panels of patterned paper, and cut out a stripe of 1-2cm x 12 cm in the space of 4 cm = the top over the tea-lights).

Then the card is ready to decorate :)

 Good luck! 

♥ Have a great day! ♥

Hugs, Lena
