You may or may not know it, but I am also a fan of cookie decorating and candle making! I've been a novice cookier and a candle maker for several years and when I have the time, I play! This year, I joined a few of my Facebook/Cookier/Periscope friends in a little secret cookier swap. I was assigned a person to send a special cookier treat to, as well as a homemade item. Since I don't ship my cookies in the mail (other than to my aunt in Iowa), I decided to make her a yummy soy candle...
To create the background, I stamped the Doily Heart using Bubble Gum ink and stamped the graphic pattern in House to Home using Pineapple Smoothie ink. I splattered some Bubble Gum Silk onto the cardstock then used some copic markers to add additional "confetti" pattern to the design. I highlighted the Dark Roast sentiment with N3 Copic marker.
The stamped image was then diecut using the Journey Ovals Die set. I also incorporated the pennant die from Banner Party Dies (in pineapple fusion cardstock) for added movement in the card. To add a pop of Rich Coral red, I punched and applied a few hearts from the Love Is punch. Of course when I was finished, it was calling for a few heart doodles...so I obliged. :)
This stamped panel was attached to a Yummy Dots embossed Beach Breeze paper and mounted wonky-style to some Bubble Gum cardstock. A2 top fold Kraft cardstock was the obvious choice for this fun card. I can't get enough of amazing Kraft card bases!!! And...Last but not least, a card of mine is NEVER complete without a bit of fibers...so I added a cute little jute bow. Perfectly, perfect I say!
Some chocolate chip cookies, fun wrapped gifts and homemade soy candles...MMMMMM!
If you look closely, you'll see that I uses my FSJ stamps to decorate the label. I love that I can customize my candles with fun names and great stamped decorations!!!
