I just took it one step farther, by stamping the snowflake images on the tissue paper using versa mark and then embossing with white embossing powder. Each snowflake was cut out and adhered to the candle using a glue stick in the position I wanted them. I then melted them into the candle using my heat tool.
The candle was further decorated with small rhinestones in the center of the larger snowflakes.
A white organza ribbon and bow and a punched out snowflake (covered with dazzling diamonds) complete the gift.
I made a similar but smaller white pillar candle (embossed with gold snowflakes) as a hostess gift at my recent workshop. I put the candle in a small candle holder, and made a box for it. I'll post that at a later date.
Be sure to purchase inexpensive candles. For some reason they are easier to stamp on.
Although it looks complicated, it really is easy.

The white embossed snowflakes on the red candle are striking! I never would have thought to emboss the tissue paper before melting it into the candle... great idea!
Beautiful Maria! Cheers, Lora Sinkler-Lake www.crazystamper.typepad.com
