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 S5-406 Candlewick Doily Round Dies.
I prepared a card and a box for a Wedding day. I love the Doily Round Dies so much that I decided not to use neither bow nor flowers to expose its beauty.
It's very delicate and it goes very well with other dies from Candlewick Classic Collection.
To make a box I used a die from the last year Christmas Collection - S6-153 Charming Cottage Box.
I decorated it with Doily Round Die and flowers S4-1015 Candlewick Rosebund.
These plates are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–> HERE
