10 Weeks of Christmas- Week 4 Christmas Lantern

I want to show you the 4th project of the “10 Weeks of Christmas” – Holiday Lantern. I put the LED tea light inside the lantern and placed it in my bathroom at night. I use it as a night light during the holiday season.

The stamp set I am using today is Christmas Gleaming. The ornaments in the stamp set have the gorgeous details. The best thing is that these ornaments has the matching punches to cut them out. 🙂

Here are the measurements for the paper:

Night of Navy (100867):
- (2) 5 ½ x 4 ¼ (A)
- (2) 5 ½ x 3 ¼ (B)
- 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ (lantern base)
Copper Foil Sheet (142020):
- (4) ½ x 3 ¼
- 3 x 8 (punch 4 ornaments)
Vellum Cardstock (101856):
- (4) 2 ½ x 4 ¼
Brightly Gleaming Specialty Design Series Paper:
- 3 x 8 (punch 4 ornaments)
Whisper White (100730):
- Scrap to stamp four Holly Berries

Here is how:

Score the (2) 5 ½ x 4 ¼ Night of Navy CS at ½ on three sides. Fold the scored lines and cut the corners as the diagram below.

Score the (2) 5 ½ x 3 ¼ Night of Navy CS at ½ on the long side. Fold the scored lines and cut the corners as the diagram below.

Use the Stitched Rectangles Die to cut the “windows” for all four pieces above. The windows are off the center – towards left side.

Glue the Vellum CS behind the “windows

Glue all four pieces to the 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ lantern base and create the box. Yellow area is for the glue.

Stamp 4 holly berries on Whisper White CS and color it with Aqua painter. I used Garden Green color for the leaves and Poppy Parade color for the berries.
Cut the holly berries out with hand and glue red sequins to the berries.
Use the Gleaming Ornaments Punch to cut out 4 ornaments with Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP.
Punch out 4 ornaments with Copper Foil Sheet and embossed it with Tufted 3D embossing folder.
Arrange and glue the ornaments and holly berries to the lantern. I glued the Copper ornament and holly berries to the lantern and then used the “pop dots” to attach the DSP ornament to the lantern.
