I'm continuing the fun for this week's Stampendous New Release Celebration with a Halloween candle and coaster today. This project uses several newly released products; the candle it self features the cling rubber Raven background stamp. To create the candle, here is what I did:
- Stamp Raven background on tissue paper.
- Tear around image, apply ink as desired using sponge.
- To apply image to candle: Place image on candle, wrap wax paper around and hold tightly. Heat gently with heat tool until wax melts slightly, adhering tissue paper to candle. Slowly peel off wax paper. (want to see a quick tutorial?)
Here is a better look at the coaster, with the new Trick or Treat Color Fragments and the cling rubber Autumn Words on it. Making the coaster was easy - here's how:
- Stamp Autumn Words on coaster.
- Add ink directly from ink pad to edges; apply to coaster surface with a sponge.
- Spray Goosebumps texture spray onto coaster surface, sprinkle on color fragments and allow to dry.
A few of my teammates are showing off new products from Stampendous as well! Not only do some of them have their own blog candy, Stampendous will be drawing a winner for this great prize pack.

looks like a cool project, does the tissue paper burn down right along with the candle-or is it just for decoration?
You are so creative!! This is beautiful and something I really want to try! TFS

Hi there
I have been making these candles for a long time and I LOVE making them. I really like your candle and love the coaster that matches! It's a great stamp set that you used!! Thank you for sharing with us and for a chance to win some awesome stuff. We all LIKE stuff, LOL!
I do so appreciate your thoroughness in giving complete instructions on how you create your amazing projects. That Raven is SO COOL!
Oh my gosh, I love the raven project. I LOVE ravens--we see them around my house every now and then, and I just love them! And my favorite holiday is Halloween, soooooo I LOVE this.
This is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! Being the Halloween nut that I am, I am over the top with excitement.
Making stamped candles is one of my favorite projects, but I've never made a matching coaster--love this!
