Vinyl from Cricket Vinyl Supplies 
and
NEW Limited Edition "GRUNGE" Rumple Ribbon from LoveBug Creations!!
 
 
 


My Vanilla Jar Candle uses Cricut cuts from Doodlecharms and CM Cheerful Seasons. It is a mini Jar candle at only 4 inches  tall so my cuts are less than 2" in height. I used 5 different colors of Vinyl and finished this off with some gorgeous ribbon from LoveBug Creations, a silk flower on top and a gold pearl.
 
BLOG CANDY ALERT!!!
I am giving away some yummy ribbon to one lucky person!! Wohoo!!
How does 2 yards of Brown, 2 yards of Black and 2 yards of Cream sound?

  1. Connie,
    I love the candle! In fact, that may be my very first vinyl project. I need a house warming gift for my parents and think their new street number would be fun on a set of candles. Thanks for the inspiration!
    Sure would love to win that ribbon....can you ever possibly have too much ribbon? I think not!
