Decorative Candles

I was so happy to create a tutorial this month as part of my Guest Creative Crew stint over at Just Cre8. I wrote about altering candles with photos and stamping. You can see the step by step instructions for these decorative candles by visiting the Just Cre8 blog. I loved the Scribblz Art word "baby" and couldn't resist using it along with this cute photo of my nephew Nathan, who I just posted about here. Isn't he sweet?
In addition to the photo candles like Nathan's, I also made some smaller candles using stamping and heat embossed stamping techniques. These were quick and easy and make a fun Valentine's Day gift idea. Keep in mind, these decorative candles are intended as a fun novelty and not for burning. Many embellishments are flammable. No lit candle should ever be left unattended.

These candles are so quick and easy to make. I used Just Cre8's exclusive En Francais and Boy in the Bubble Wrap stamps to create these candles. I hope you are inspired to make a few of your own.

I hope that you have a wonderful Valentine's Day with those you love. Wishing you all the best!
