Caught in Candlelight


Deb with you today. Candlelight evokes romance, at least in my mind. And I'm told that every woman looks more beautiful by candlelight. So I definitely want more candles around me! If you love candles, too, consider this project. The results give you a soft dreamy look - very romantic. This project illustrates this week's technique for Eureka Stamps - adding images to candles. At this point, I must confess I didn't make up this technique. I read about it on the internet, but I don't know where so (sadly) I can't give proper credit. You won't believe how easy this is!

To begin, smooth a piece of tissue paper over a piece of cardstock. Fold the tissue to the back of the paper and tape it down securely.

Front



Back


If you are using a digi image, adjust the color so you print in grey scale rather than in solid black. Size the image so it will fit the size of your candle. I've used Eurekas Gladiola and Hummer sized at 5 inches high for a candle that measured 5 1/2 inches high and 9 1/2 inches around. Run the package through your printer.


If you are using a rubber stamp, just ink up your stamp with grey ink and stamp onto the tissue.

Color your image with alcohol-based markers. Below, I've used Copics:
Bird: C5, YR61/65, RV 63, 66
Flower:YG 23/25/45, YR23 and V01/04/05/06/09


Remove the tissue from the cardstock and trim. You can see that I trimmed the solid line at the bottom left corner.



Drape the issue over the candle.



Cut a piece of household wax paper larger than the size of your image. Place it over the image on the candle and wrap it tightly. Continue to hold the paper as you use your crafting heat gun to warm the wax paper and the candle surface. Heat only until the surface gets shiny and you can see the tissue being incorporated into the wax. If you heat too long, your candle will start to run, and you really don't want that. Peel the wax paper off the image. 
Hold wax paper tightly
Voila!

Decorate your candle any way you wish. I've added ribbon and some pearls from my jewellery making stash.




And, finally, The Boss offers to help with today's clean-up.

Printed Fabric Transfer Using Digital Stamps

Good Wednesday to everyone, this is Sara;)
I am here with a tutorial for you on one more way to use  your digital stamps,
Printed Fabric Transfer.

Supplies you will need:
Digital Stamp
Today I am using
Computer/Printer
Fabric Transfer Printer Paper,
I used the product below from Avery
 
Mainstays Flour Sack Towels
Iron and Ironing board
2 yards of ribbon trim
Fabric Glue
Scissors


Step One:  Open your digital stamp into your graphic program I use PSE10, make all the changes you desire.  For mine I used a red color stylizer.  In just a few seconds I had transformed the background image.

Step Two:  Print your image onto the transfer printer paper (per product directions). 
I chose custom print size and ticked the box Scale to fit Media.  *The original size of the background stamp is 5.94" by 7.29". 
You can see below the prompt box the open white space for the printed background.

 

 Now for the last screen before printing, you can see the digital stamp fills the entire
8 1/2" by 11" of paper and there is no more white space.



Step Three:  Cut your paper transfer to the size and dimensions you need for your project.
I used 3 3" wide strips 8 1/2" long.  I also had to cut two smaller pieces to fill in the end side of the pattern.  It took a full sheet of 8 1/2" by 11" transfer paper to complete my design.


Step Four:  Wash and Iron flat the flour sack towel.


Step Five:  Iron your your transfer pieces (per product directions).
You can see below how I used the hem of the towel for positioning my iron on transfer.
I did this step three times until I had the 3" trim transfer I desired.


Step 6:  Take your fabric trim and fabric glue and apply to the upper and lower borders of the transferred image and let it dry overnight.  You can if you wish tack it in a few places with some stitching if you so desire.

 Here is a photo of my finished towel hanging...

This was so much fun to do, I hope you give this tutorial a try.
Any questions you can email me
paschal.sara@gmail.com

Thanks for stopping by
Eureka Stamps blog today.
