The circles and curves found in the 122590 Delicate Doilies stamp set match the curves in the 117014 Curly Cute stamp set.  I love how the 122464 Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punches were used as an accent piece on this card.

Planning a wedding shower, baby shower, birthday party, holiday dinner, you pick the occasion and you can decorate tealight candles.  You can decorate them simple or elaborate.  Here is an adorable sample from a recent stamping event.  Wrapping ribbon around the tealight candle is the easiest way to cover the sides.  Then use your punches and Big Shot embosslits to decorate.
