Hi Stamping Friends!

The fun word bubbles from the Just Sayin' stamp set look great on just about any type of background, but some of the phrases call out for something specific. As soon as I saw the "You're How Old?" bubble, I immediately thought of a bunch of candles on a cake, so I thought pairing the image up with candles would be perfect!

Candles Background—I wanted the candles to really stand out, so I kept the Bermuda Bay card base plain & simple. I cut 1/2" wide strips of the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper, and trimmed them to size as I laid them out on the card front.
Class Kit participants will get a half package is included in their kit, so they can choose whichever paper pattern they want for the candles.
Candle Flames—Atop each candle is a flame punched with the retired Blossom Builder Punch. I used Crushed Curry card stock for the basic shape of the flame, and Champagne Shimmer Paper for the inside flame. You could also use the wing of the Bird Builder Punch for the outer flame, then trim it down for the inside flame.
Sentiment—The Just Sayin' greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay, the die-cut with the Word Bubbles Framelits. If you're getting the kit, you definitely want to upgrade to the Framelits Bundle if you have a Big Shot.
I tied some Bermuda Bay 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon around the card front and the word bubble is attached over the top with Dimensionals.
Less Is Not More—I used the same basic elements for my vertical version, featuring fewer candles that are taller. But, looking at it now, it seems a little empty on the side. I probably should have used 5 or more candles to fill up the card front a little better. I think a bigger bunch of candles would better reflect the sentiment, don't you think? Yeah, the more overlapped and crooked the better!
