Paper Candles

Images copyright 1990-2008 Stampin' Up!

This card was CASED but unfortunately I have forgotten where I saw it - Thanks to the original creator for sharing the inspiration.

The candles on this card were made with Designer Series Paper (2" high) and then matted on Chocolate Chip cardstock. The sentiment is from Happy Everything. The flame on the candle is the leaf image from the stamp set Time Well Spent (This is a Level 3 Hostess Set). You could also use the leaf from Bud Basics. The wide Chocolate Chip satin ribbon is from the Theatre collection.

How do I get a perfect "V" cut on the ribbon?

A: Fold the ribbon in half and then make one diagonal cut from the outside edges of the ribbon downwards to the centre of the ribbon. Open and you have a perfect "V".
