INTRODUCING CANDLEWICK CLASSICS I GIVEAWAY


Hi Friends, last month we introduced Candlewick Sampler and this month we are introducing a small companion collection that drives home that sweet Candlewick look.  We introduce these so that there is a central place you can see them and how they are used; we hope you will welcome Candlewick Classics.  If you loved Hemstitch Classics like Hemstitch Rectangles then you'll love the individual new dies options in the 6 die collection.  These are basics you'll definitely want to evaluate for your stash.

A Bit About Candlewick Classics


Nowhere does the candlewick look and feel come through more than on the Candlewick Classics.  It's a delicate look reminiscent of actual candlewicking and punctuated by the rounded motifs that imply french knots.  Candlewick Classics are classic square, circle, oval and rectangle label shapes that are bordered with the candlewick motif in the most useful card making sizes.  They also mix and match with the Hemstitch Classics. 

What is Candlewicking?  Browse the google images found when searching "Candliewicking" and you will see that it is a type of whitework embroidery normally done on cream or white fabric embellished with cream or white french knots.  The series of french knots create the outlines of the pattern giving it a unique look while adding a touch of elegance.  In these dies, you can see rounded motifs that hint at the texture of dots.  Without overpowering, it's a sweet little detail present on all the dies in the collection.  Plus, it just happens to be the perfect spot to place a pearl.  Google candlewicking and you'll see exactly what we mean.

My Projects For Today:

I'm introducing S4-1035 Candlewick Circles Etched Dies

                   Nestabilities Candlewick Circles Etched Dies Candlewick Classics Collection by Becca Feeken

Here is what the Plates actually look like.


Circle Dies are one of those Die sets that you can always use. The versatility in them are endless. I just love the inlay on these dies. So pretty! I decided to make a place card setting for my Fall table using these dies. I made some cute perfectly round pumpkins with the Dies. :)


I added some sticks from my yard to the "pumpkins" to act as stems, dressed them up with some pearls, fabric leaves, twine and ribbon.


For my Next Project, I made a simple card with these beautiful Dies. This is one set that you need in your crafty stash, for sure!

As a sign of gratitude on how my son was saved from autism, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My son suffered autism in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication,and he always complain of poor eye contact  . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who have the cure to autism . I never imagined autism  has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.autism  has a cure and is a herbal cure,you can contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get this medication, Thanks.

Use your smartphone. The easiest and quickest method to embroidery digitizing your photos is to use your smartphone's built-in camera. Snap away, then upload images from your camera roll directly to your computer or into a cloud storage service that's compatible with your operating system — whether that's Android or iOS.
