I'm so excited to be sharing with you today! I'm hoping in my very first Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! I couldn't be more honored either, this kit was designed by Shelli Gardener herself! It's Spring, it's classic, it's soft, it's romantic - it's just outright dreamy! HOW do you do justice to a kit like this? Well, if you're like me - not without a LOT of contemplation. Although sure enough, once I got going, I had more ideas than time! LOL Funny how that works! Anyhow, I really did agonize over this one! For some reason I was really stuck on the idea of doing a home decor item, but just couldn't settle on WHAT! I searched all over my stamp room, all over my house - HMMM.... Finally, I opened the right drawer and found a beautiful pair of taper candles! Plain, classic, white candles - PERFECT! Now to just hunt down a few other things....
It's been FOREVER since I made stamped candles, but I am so happy I did! I have a person in mind to give these too, but I kind of want to keep them for myself too!!!! (Good thing I can make another set, right?)
These are 10" candles, and at first I thought it would be super easy, just stamp a bunch of feathers all over a piece of tissue paper with Crumb Cake ink, melt it in to the candle with my heat tool and TA-DAH, but I got a little weird about the seam and where all the feathers were, so I cut out each feather individually, stuck them in place with a TINY bit of glue and then got the heat tool out.
To make the cute little wrapper, I actually cut apart one of the pretty, coordinating envelopes and used the inside pattern. The twines, tag, and little flower embellishments are all included in the kit!!!
