January 2002 Creative Express Projects
I am sorry I am so late getting this project on-line!! Organization often times gets the better of me!!	CE 13 Candle Birthday Stamps by: Candle by Darcies; Thinking of You and Bless and Keep You (inside) by Stampendous!; Happy Birthday by Hero Arts Supplies you will need: double-stick tape or glue dries clear adhesive Pop Dots 1/8 and 1/16 inch Decorative Corner Scissors
Instructions: 1. The candles are all going to go onto cardstock for support. You may put the candles on the cardstock first and trim both layers at one time. If you have limited strength in your cutting hand, you may wish to trim each layer separately. 2. Using the dries clear adhesive, glue the rhinestones onto the candles (the upside down heart is simply amazing for a flame!!!). Allow to dry. 3. Cut and layer the cardstock pieces. Cut and layer all the sayings. 4. Using the two different sizes of pop dots (as well as flat onto the card), layer the candles onto the card. Layer the outside and inside sayings to the card. 5. There is an extra candle included with this project kit. You can layer it inside next to a saying!!! 6. I guess that's it already!! Funny, it did not seem thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat easy when we were doing it!!!

Instructions 1. Trim out the "inside" of the penguin. 2. Remove the Peel'n'Stick from just the feet of the penguin (this will make it easier for proper placement).

Repeat with the other side. 4. Detail trim the penguin. 5. Color the checks and the beak. 6. Attach the hat to the cardstock and detail trim. 7.

Place the Pop Dots 1/8 to the outer sides of the hat--that will be enough support since the hat will be over the penguin which also has Pop Dots. 9. Layer the cardstock and paper onto the main card. Attach the "Hugs". 10. Complete the inside of the card. 11. Using the 1/16 inch Pop Dots, attach "Pedra" to the card. Position and attach the hat appropriately. 12.

You need to have an even number of holes for the ribbon lacing to work out. 4. Lace the ribbon through the card. Start by placing the ribbon down into the first hole. 5.

Instructions 1. Detail trim the couch and the kitty. Both images are going to be on cardstock, so you could place the images onto the cardstock first and trim both layers together. 2.

Gee--I guess that card was extremely easy too!! But soooo cute!!
