Christmas Lantern Classes

Posted on by

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
Thick Basic White card – 11.2cm by 11.2cm
Dsp – 9.5cm by 7.5cm x 4
Vellum – 8.5cm by 6.5cm x 4
Scrap Shaded Spruce and Gold Foil

 

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.

Measure 1cm from the scoreline forming each triangle – see photograph then use a pencil and a ruler to join the pencil marks. This will give 1cm tabs to help close the top of the lantern.

Here is a really pretty, delicate looking snowflake wreath card made using the Joyful Flurry stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the snowflake wreath card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Parakeet Party – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Tahitian Tide card – 2¼” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 2¼” by 2¼”

 

Taking a pencil, I drew around one of my circles dies to give me a shape to stamp around.

I stamped one of the medium snowflakes in Tahitian Tide ink three times around the pencil circle and added the other medium snowflake in Parakeet Party ink, again three times.

Then I stamped the smallest snowflake randomly all around the circle in Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Orchid Oasis allowing all the colours to overlap. The pencil circle was then erased and the panel added to the Parakeet Party layer.

I wrapped a piece of Parakeet Party Metallic Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Thick Basic White card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto the scrap Basic White square and die cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added this to a slightly larger scalloped circle cut from the square of Tahitian Tide card. The sentiment was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies was die cut from the larger square of Basic White card. The leafy wreath was stamped in the centre of the die cut circle in Garden Green ink. I turned the stamp 90°and stamped the wreath again without re-inking. The twiggy wreath was stamped on top in Soft Suede. The stamped circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Vintage Christmas stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the smaller Basic White square and die cut using the same set of dies. It was added to the card front on a Dimensional.
