My first attempt this year for stamping on candles. I made 15 of these for my sisters and sil's and their families. One side has the flakey friends snowmen and the other side is the mitten with the Happy Holiday's with each families name.

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

farmwife-
how do you get the frint of the candle to be som smooth-i have made two exactly the same way and have like a ripple effect even though i am smoothing it along the way.. are you doing something different than stamping on the tissue then putting on candle place wax paper on top heat evenly and occaisoinly smoothing it out by rolling on a flat surface? because yours are soming out som nicely . let me know as soon as you can thanks

answer to mommietess question. I would try a different candle. I bought these at the dollar store. I tried one (a 6inch) from Big Lots and I didn't like the way it melted. I also use an old knee high stocking, when I take away the wax paper I rub the stocking over the image to give it a shine. I hope this helps
