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.

The larger and smaller dies were nested together and used to die cut a frame from the larger panel of Secret Sea card. The frame was glued in place around the die hole in the white panel.

Using the Holly Berry Dies again, I die cut a large detailed holly leaf from Copper Foil and the smaller holly leaf form the Gold Foil and tucked them under the label, using Mini Glue Dots to hold them in place.

I ran the piece of Vellum card through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I added Seal + to the card front in the centre, where I new it would be hidden and placed the embossed vellum on top.

From scrap pieces of Basic White, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen card, I die cut 3 detailed holly leaves using the Holly Berry Dies. I used a little of the liquid glue to adhere the leaves together and to add them to the Vellum panel.

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using the following colour combination:

 

I am using the very versatile Bottled Happiness stamp set to make my card today.

To recreate the bottles card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Vellum – 5¼” by 3½”
Starry Sky card – 2¼” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 2” by 2”

 

I stamped the bottle all over one of the 5½” by 3¾” panels of Basic White card in Soft Succulent, Pacific Point and Starry Sky inks. The images were stamped either vertically or horizontally. The stamped panel was adhered to the larger Basic White panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the vellum panel over the top secured with a strip of Seal + placed where my sentiment would hide it.

I wrapped a length of Starry Sky Woven Metallic Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Soft Succulent card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the square of Basic White card. It was then die cut using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. A slightly larger circle was die cut from the Starry Sky square using the same set of Dies. The circles were adhered together with liquid glue and added to the card front on Mini Glue Dots.
