I love this candle project idea! It’s made from an old outside light fixture and a couple bottle lids. I see those things kicking around at garage sales all the time but it never occurred to me to try something like this. Jane Lake gives us detailed instructions with more ideas on different ways to make faux candle lamps. See the Faux Oil Lamp Project on All Free Crafts for more.

Create Stunning Cards with Solar Paste
Solar Paste created by Simon Hurly for Ranger Ink is a paste that looks very unassuming at first. It’s an almost white, light color with a creamy consistency that’s subtle on white cardstock but it really comes alive when applied to dark cardstocks. It comes in 6 different colors that each have a cool metallic shift.
Kristina decided to try it out and created three cards with different techniques with some amazing results. For one card she used the Solar Paste with a stencil, for another she created her own simple background with different colors of the paste and lastly she designed some flowers and leaves, all on dark black cardstock. She mounted the panels on white bases and added white heat embossed sentiments to complete each card idea. She’s sharing a video tutorial on making these cards with some tips for using the Solar Paste.
