Blinged out candle

I bought some small candles and used them for place settings gifts at my Christmas Dinner.

However this one I created especially for my friend whom I stopped by last night.
I wanted to jazz it up so I took this fabulous silver sparkle ribbon and glued it around and made a bow as well.
Then I took a strip of bling (I just bought this at Michael's) and added it above the silver glitter ribbon.
To finish it off, glued on a red jewel.

Easter card and candle set

I made this as a gift for Easter.
The card stock is from SU as well as the swirl stamp.
The border punch is from Martha Stewart
The oval is a 1 1/4 x 2" oval punch.
Ribbon - I think from Michaels as well as the pearls.

The votive holder is 3" height and you take a 8 1/2 length piece of card stock and score at 2" 4" and 6" and 8". Punch the ovals so the light so through - I am sorry my pictures are not very good. But I think you get the gist. (Inside I used a battery operated tea light from Michael's)

I'll be entering this in a challenge or two when I find my listing.
Thanks for looking if you have any questions please let me know.

Christmas gift -tiny box of candles

Well - I grouped a few challenges together and came up with this cute gift!
Use the directions to make this little box from an 8" x 8" piece of card stock.
Score at 1", 3" 5" and 7". Turn 90 degrees to the next side and score the same.

The stamp is a set I bought at Wal-Mart last year - I do not keep my packaging so I do not know if it had a brand name.
I then inked around the edges of the Martha Stewart border punch. Use my new i rock tool and adhered some rhinestones.
All 4 sides are the same.

To make the inner gift - I stamped the same image on tissue paper and melted it into the little tea lights. Bagged them and added a ribbon and a tag (Staples). Stamped and inked as well.

Dressing up a candle

I love to re-purpose and dress things up especially when we have all the items at home.
Here are my directions for a candle - you can get these anywhere.
First take the label off - mine was real easy - thank goodness!
Because mine is a 3 oz candle I cut the Basic Grey pp at length of 9" or 23 cm and the width at 1 1/4" or 3.5 cm. I ran it through the Cuttlebug and inked it.
Because I wanted this to stick very well to the glass, I used the sticky "red" tape. You can use glue dots or a jewelry adhesive I propose.
To decorate the top - I punch a 1" circle with my Creative Memories Circle punch. Added Prma flowers and a rhinestone.
Added ribbon and a hand made hat pin to the bottom base of the candle. And to finish the top, a tag around the Primas.
