Hi Friends, last month we introduced Candlewick Sampler and this month we are introducing a small companion collection that drives home that sweet Candlewick look. We introduce these so that there is a central place you can see them and how they are used; we hope you will welcome Candlewick Classics. If you loved Hemstitch Classics like Hemstitch Rectangles then you’ll love the individual new dies options in the 6 die collection. These are basics you’ll definitely want to evaluate for your stash plus they layer seamlessly onto Candlewick Sampler Dies.
A Bit About Candlewick Classics
Nowhere does the candlewick look and feel come through more than on the Candlewick classics. It’s a delicate look reminiscent of actual candlewicking and punctuated by the rounded motifs that imply french knots. Candlewick Classics are classic square, circle, oval and rectangle label shapes that are bordered with the candlewick motif in the most useful card making sizes. They also mix and match with the Hemstitch Classics.
What is Candlewicking? Browse the google images and you will see that it is a type of whitework embroidery normally done on cream or white fabric embellished with cream or white french knots. The series of french knots create the outlines of the pattern giving it a unique look while adding a touch of elegance. In these dies, you can see rounded motifs that hint at the texture of dots. Without overpowering, it’s a sweet little detail present on all the dies in the collection. Plus, it just happens to be the perfect spot to place a pearl.
My Projects For Today
I’m introducing S5-399 Candlewick Rectangles
Here is what the plate actually looks like.
I so love Hemstitch Rectangles, it has been a go-to die for me for years. I kind of felt like it needed a sister, or something else I could use every now and again. Enter Candlewick Classics, the little sister to Hemstitch Classics. It gives me a fresh new look to the classic layering I’ve been doing for the past couple of years. While Hemstitch are tiny boxes reminiscent of the look of that needle application on linen, Candlewick is round and romantic and looks like tiny little knots. Because I’ve been dying to, I topped them all off with pearls. I won’t do that every time but for the the first time out, I thought it befitting :-)
Here is the detail up close :-) You can either cut frames or you can have a solid panel. I love the texture and the fact that you can layer another color behind your panel and it makes the detail just pop!

These plates are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–> HERE

Love it Becca – especially with the little pearls. I’d love to have this one but I’ve already outspent myself on new dies and embossing folders for the season!
Hugs Dianne (the kardlady)
The dies look really beautiful!
I love the hem stitch look, also. It looks so finished.
I’ve been waiting for these to be released as I love the square and circle variations as well as the doily. I use the hemstitch dies a lot so these will also get a lot of use. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next

Another wonderful card. You have beautiful dies
Beautiful. I actually make a candlewick pillow before.
I have been creating needle crafts since I first learned candlewicking as a Girl Scout. My french knots were so perfect, that I was asked to teach the Girl Scouts in other troops. I was 12 at the time. So I love these dies as they remind me of my first needle work projects. Becca, your card is truly romantic and the papers are so lovely. Your bows are ALWAYS perfect.
Simply elegant and stunning!
So Stunning! I love all your cards!
Becca your dies are always so elegant! I love anything you come up with!! They are just what I like. :-)

Hi, Becca,
I’m so delighted to see you featuring these dies. I have several of the hemstitch dies and they are sooooo useful! I definitely want to have these in my collection, as well. I love that they can be used as backgrounds or a focal piece. Changing their orientation brings more versatility to the mix.
Love & blessings, Sandy
Quite lovely! And all of those pearls!!! Thanks for sharing!
The Hemstitch family of dies has been a favorite of mine since they were introduced. No surprise then that I fallen in love with the Candlewick dies. Beautiful and elegant just like you!
Oh Becca! My word! Does your creativity never end. These dies are gorgeous and your card is a true Becca classic worthy of being framed. Love it!
Hemstitch and Candlewick are for sure sisters or cousins ?? I love how you make all of your collections work together. You succeed in that endeavor! Thanks for sharing your love for this craft.
Hugs, Diana
The ?? above was supposed to be a heart emoji. Not sure what happened.
Becca I absolutely love your card!
This card is so elegant! Thank you so much Becca and DT for these beauties. Have a great day.
Wow!! I can’t believe you had the patience to add each one of those pearls but what a spectacular result! These new Candlewick dies would be used often, whenever you need a little bit of extra detail to take a project out of the ordinary.
I love these and the added pearls. Very romantic and dainty.
Becca! What an elegant card! I love the way you layered and overlapped the rectangles! Such a beautiful way to showcase the oh so pretty patterned paper. Thank you for another stunning collection!
Oh Becca! You never cease to amaze me. Lovely, lovely dies. Again, it makes me want to get married again…..well, maybe..lol, so I could make party favors with your lovely designs. Keep up your awesome ideas!
Love the cards and dies!!
Hello Becca, I’m go glad you released the Candlewick Classic Collection. When I viewed the card you showed to launch the blog hop, I was so happy. It had pearls everywhere! I love it when you do pearls! And, as you pointed out, the dies make places to put pearls. That will make it much easier for my arthritic hands to operate the tweezers! Win-win! Your card was, as usual, gorgeous, very stylish and much needed as a staple in anyone’s stash. Thanks for continuing to design such wonderful dies and share your incredible talent with us all.
Love the new dies.
