It's funny that although I know the baby is coming and even an arrival date, I often am scrambling for a baby card when the time comes. So as a part of my stamp-a-stacks, I try to include baby cards at least once a year. But how do you know what to make? Well we take care of that and make one of each!

Tealights
Aren't these cute? You can use the same technique for stamping on candles on tealights. Stamp your image on tissue paper and color. I used marker here but have also used colored pencils. Cut the image, and if you use a shape that works in our punches, it's as easy as can be. For a tealight you need to use a hole punch to make room for the wick. It's a big help to punch the tissue on a piece of scratch paper so that the tissue doesn't tear. Place the tissue on the candle and heat with a heat tool to "melt" the tissue into the wax. It is really still there, but the wax of the candle melts around it. If you were doing a candle, you could hold it on securely while you heat it with wax paper.
I have been planning for a few months to do a tealight with stamp club sometime soon. And then in my latest APEX swap organized by my upline, I got one of these from another talented demo in our group.... great minds do "ink" alike!

Black Magic Technique
Wow! This was my first time with the Black Magic Technique - super easy and super dramatic! Each month in stamp club, I try to include at least one technique and this was what we did this month. It would work on other dark colors, but I just love the bold look of the colors against the black.
Stamp Whisper White Craft ink on your dark cardstock, heat set it, and then color over the white with colored pencils. It's that easy. I have another partial card made with this technique that you will see in the next few weeks too. I think this is my new favorite technique!
