I love Simon Says Stamp's DIEcember celebration and have a 'two for one' card idea to share with you featuring the unique and super fun So Many Candles. What a fabulous die set! I really enjoyed playing with this one!
An A2 sized panel of white card stock was covered with Tear-rific Adhesive Sheets that was cut down to the same size. The double sided adhesive will make the paper piecing quick and easy!
Strips of 1/2" card stock in three shades of pink were cut and pieced onto the panel diagonally. The paper pieced panel was trimmed to 4" by 5 1/4".
The main die in So Many Candles was used to die cut the paper pieced panel, a 4" by 5 1/4" panel of black card stock and white glitter card stock.
The white glitter grouping of candles was inlaid on the paper pieced background and the paper pieced candled on the black panel. With both panel and candles face down, I found it easiest to inlay the top the candles first. As I worked, sections were held together with scotch tape.
The white candle panel was adhered to an A2 sized, black matted card base. For the other card, the fuschia card stock was used as the mat.
The So Many Candles die set comes with a die to cut all the flames needed to finish off the candles. The flames were cut from white glitter card stock and adhered to the top of the candles.
Happy Birthday Brush Script was used to black and soft pink card stock. The sentiments were mounted on foam die cuts and adhered to the cards across the candles.
The flames were finished off with Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew.
