Homemade decorations will make your party even more beautiful and conjure up the right atmosphere - with these instructions you are guaranteed to succeed with the card and candle, so get to the crafting table and get started!
Prepare the casting
Start by casting the fish motif that will form the centre of your card. Mix about two tablespoons of Raysin with water until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. Only partially fill the casting mould to create a flat casting. Leave the fish to dry for about 30 minutes.

Carefully demould the fish and smooth the edges with sandpaper for a clean finish. Then prepare the decorating wax sheets by chilling them in the fridge - this will make it easier to cut and process them later.

Design the greetings card

Cut a suitable piece of vellum paper and fix it in the opening of the passe-partout card using handicraft glue.
Choose a motif from your Clear Stamps and place the silicone motif on your acrylic block for stamping. Dab the stamp with an ink pad and press the motif onto your card. Then clean the Clear Stamp with stamp cleaner. Then clean the Clear Stamp with stamp cleaner.

Glue a piece of jute cord to the card and attach the casting fish to it with some handicraft glue. Once everything is dry, you can tie the jute cord into a decorative bow.

Decorate the candle

Print out the free cross template, cut it out and transfer the contours to the protective layer of the wax plate using a pencil.
Then carefully cut out the motif using a cutter knife and ruler. Now cut strips of wax in different widths from the green decorating wax sheet, remove the protective film and press the strips onto the candle using the heat of your hand, applying the cross motif to the candle in the same way.
