Bithday Candle

A whole new meaning to the word birthday candle. A cheap fun present ill let you guess who for lol (even a good idea for a hostess reward or workshop which is different) see the tutorial for stamping on candles here. And don’t worry about the tissue paper it takes itself into the candle no problem. and ignore the American "wax paper" just ordinary Greaseproof Paper or Baking Paper will do it.

I used:
Fall Flair hostess rewards stamp set, Bold Butterfly stamp set, Botanical Blossoms Sale-a-bration Stamp set and a small heart from the sale-a-bration stamp set Yummy.


It ran a little bit in places so I think I might have over inked a bit but practice makes perfect.

  1. Just a thought the smudging might be due to not tight enough hold on the baking paper, where a gap appears and the heat rises through it with the ink...mmm just mkae sure the paper is held really really tight over the whole image before heating.
