St. Patrick's Day Lantern

Hello! or should I say Top of the Morning to Ya?   I've been having fun creating St. Patrick's cards so I thought I'd make a Lantern for St. Pat's Day as well.  I started with a sheet of 12" x 12" green cardstock and cut the design with my Cameo using Silhouette file #253765 by Suzanne Cannon.  I erased the cuts for the fold lines before cutting because I like to use my Scor-Pal to mark the fold lines.  I think this gives a smoother look to all the folds.  I assembled the lantern and  used vellum to cover the openings.  Placed a battery tea light inside.

Christmas Lantern

Hello!  I am sharing another Christmas card today.  I was inspired to make this by a Photo Challenge but I missed posting the card in time for that one but I found other challenges to enter.  I stamped the lantern stamp from my stash on white CS with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Red and Green and other Copics and a Silver pen.   Added some sparkle to the flame and poinsettia center with Stickles. Added some die cut branches from Green CS and a red satin bow to the top of the lantern.  Finished the card with a GKD Sentiment stamped in Red ink and a Dotted ribbon that I attached to a Red card base. Die from Impression Obsession -used only part of the branch.  I think the red bow was a perfect touch for the card.

Christmas Lanterns

  

Hello!  Today I am sharing some paper lanterns that I made with my Cameo. The Christmas Tree design was made with Green CS and Red Vellum.  After cutting the design, I used my Scor-pal to score fold lines and assemble.  I like to remove the dotted lines (fold lines) on the Silhouette design before cutting to have smooth edges on the fold and therefore I use the Scor-pal.  I then add  I then add a LED tea light  and enjoy.   Another Lantern that I made was a Snowflake design using Blue CS and Blue Vellum.
