Nestled snugly between Ports of Call #10 (Melina's presentation of Snow Burst) and #12 (Dawnmarie's creations with Big Bold Birthday), here we explore Stampin' Up! Big Birthday Candle stamp set.
One announcement before disembarking: the tour links are only active through 11:59 pm Tuesday June 16; after that, many hostesses will post more details on projects you see today. Bookmark your favorite stops now--on return visits, you'll bypass customs & immigration and go straight to the fun!This first project I made showcasing Big Birthday Candle also uses the Matchbox Die:
Sparkly ... who doesn't love sparkles!?! The recipient of this little gift will be sure to love what's inside too! I know it's a bit bigger than the matchbox die and if you tune in on the next Technique Tuesday I will show you how.Recipe: Stamp Set - Big Birthday Candle; Cardstock - Raspberry Tart DSP, Pink Pirouette and Kiwi Kiss ; Ink - Kiwi Kiss ; Accessories - Old Olive 5/8 Grosgrain Ribbon, Matchbox Die, BS, Dimensionals, Versamarker and Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.
As you all know I have 2 boys so I try to make masculine cards, sometimes I get them just right and other times not quite. But this one came out almost as intended:
The center by the candles was missing something and I must have spent an hour trying to figure it out. Finally I ended up with the ribbon pieces and it work so I left it.Recipe: Stamp Set - Big Birthday Candle; Cardstock - Rockabilly Specialty DSP, Whisper White, Basic Black and Basic Gray ; Ink -Versamark, Basic Gray and Kiwi Kiss; Accessories - Black Embossing Powder, Sponge, Dimensionals, Black Grosgrain 1/4 Grosgrain Ribbon and Silver Brads.
My last project is for sure my favorite!! I just love how it came out!! So here is my 6x6 Scrapbook Page:
Isn't it cool!! Just perfect for the Fourth of July ... so be sure to get this set before we say Bon Voyage!!Recipe: Stamp Set - Big Birthday Candle; Cardstock - Brilliant Blue, Real Red, Whisper White and Brushed Silver; Ink - Versamark, Real Red and Brilliant Blue ; Accessories - Silver Embossing Powder, Dimensionals, Star Punch and Large Star Punch.

I really like the scrap page and the fireworks effect. The longer matchbox is also very cool can't wait to see how you did that. And knowing boys I bet they loved the pirate skull candles!
