A Christmas Lantern made for my December 2025 classes using the Scenic Adventure, Nested Essential Dies and the Modern Christmas designer series paper from Stampin' Up!

Christmas Lantern Classes

Today I am sharing the Christmas Lantern project designed for my December classes inspired by Jennifer of Évasions Créatives

Colours used to make this project are:

 

To recreate the Christmas lantern, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 17cm by 14.85cm x 2

Take one of the larger pieces of Thick Basic White card measuring 17cm by 14.85cm and score it on the 17cm side at 8cm and 16cm. Turn so the 1cm strip is at the top of the scoring tool and score at 10cm. Repeat with the second panel of the same size.

Place one of the scored panels on a Silicon Mat with the 10cm portion at the top. Measure the centre of the two larger panels – 4cm and make a pencil mark. Using a Scoring Tool score from the 4cm mark to the where the vertical and horizontal scorelines meet. Repeat three times, twice in each 8cm panel to form two flat topped triangles. Repeat with the other panel.

Pine Forest Card

Today I am sharing a pretty, clean and simple pine forest Christmas card made using the Pine Tree Trimmings stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the pine forest card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3”
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅞” by ¾” x 2
Scrap Silver Foil

 

Using 2nd and 3rd generation Shaded Spruce ink, I stamped the pine tree, multiple times across the panel of Basic White card to give the effect of a forest.

I adhered the strips of Cherry Cobbler card to the top and bottom of the stamped panel and wrapped a length of White Baker’s Twine around the whole piece, secured it on the back with Sellotape.

The sentiment was stamped in the lower right-hand corner of the card front with Cherry Cobbler ink and the whole piece was then added to the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.

Paper Pieced Leafy Spray – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. When I saw the Petals of Beauty Dies, especially the large leafy die, my immediate thought was ‘paper piecing’ and that is what I have used to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the paper pieced leafy spray card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 4⅞” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 4”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Secret Sea

 

Using the Textured Notes Dies, I die cut a decorated rectangle from the 5¼” by 4” panel of basic White card.

I die cut the leafy spray from scrap pieces of Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Secret Sea using the large die from the Petals of Beauty dies. A Take Your Pick Tool was used to free all the pieces from the die, one colour at a time, taking care to keep the leaves in the correct position.

The Secret Sea outline leafy die cut was then adhered to the die cut Basic White rectangle. At this point I realised it would have been a lot easier if I had adhered double sided adhesive sheet to the back of each scrap piece…….. don’t you love hindsight!

The infill leaf pieces were then inlaid into the Secret Sea outline; I used all the colours.

The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set was stamped in the lower left corner using Secret Sea ink. The whole decorated panel was then glued to the Secret Sea layer. I then added the panel to the Pool Party card front on Dimensionals.

A trio of Iridescent Faceted Gems finished the card. With the left-over pieces, I made three other cards. Let me know which is your favourite.
