Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!

I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

Golden Honey Candles card Save

I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it.  Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering.  It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you.  Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall.  The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes.  I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color.  The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  

For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper.  I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle.  Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.  

Other Details

  • The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog. 
  • The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
  • Granny Apple Green

Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies.  If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  See it here.

    Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.  

    First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.  

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade.  The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible!  I love the touch of vellum she added. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set.  This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch. 

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive.  She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

    Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card.

  • Flowers for Every Season & more!

    Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors. 

    First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

    July Mary Flowers Save

    Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly. 

    Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also. 

    July Mary Flowers Save

    What a fun layout!  Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer?  That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder.  The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.  

    Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane.  She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.  

    July Mary Flowers Save

    The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings.  Love these delicate dies!  

    Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better?  They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully.  It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!
