HAPPY FOREST FRIENDS TEA LIGHT LUMINARY with KINDEST GNOMES stamp set - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Tea Light Luminary that measures  4 1/2  x  3  x  3".  I used Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper, Kindest Gnomes stamp set, Gnomes dies, Layering Circle dies and Celebration Tags dies.
I got my inspiration from Esther Collmar who made a treat box.  I believe she is from Germany and her website is  www.kreativpapier.com



I made this Luminary in 2 pieces.  The inside is Cardstock and the outside is Designer Series Paper.
I started with the inside.
It is a piece of Soft Seafoam Cardstock sized
6 1/4  x  3 1/2".
I scored the  6 1/4" side at:
3/4,  2 3/4,  3 1/2  and  5 1/2".
I scored the  3 1/2" side at:
3/4  and  2 3/4".
I cut a 1 5/8" circle out of one of the squares using the Layering Circle dies.
To cut and put the inside together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after scoring and cutting.


Next I did the outside pieces.  You need 2 pieces of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper sized
11 1/4  x  2".
I scored ONLY the 11 1/4" side at:
1,  4 1/2,  6 3/4  and  10 1/4".
There is no cutting for these pieces you just need to round the corners.
To put the Luminary together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your Designer Series Paper (DSP) should look after scoring.


I attached the DSP pieces to gather at the square in the middle with Liquid glue.
I attached the Tea Light box on top of the Squares with Liquid Glue.


I punched two holes in each of the 4 ends of the DSP strips about 1/8" up from the scoreline and about 1/2" from each side.
I ran Soft Seafoam Seam Biding Ribbon around the strips, through the holes, and tied a bow at the front.


Next I stamped the Gnome, from Kindest Gnomes stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the image out with the Gnomes dies.
I colored the image with
Stampin' Blends:
Light and Dark Mossy Meadow   -   Shirt and Pants
Light and Dark Soft Suede  -  Hat and Shoes
Light Smokey Slate  -  Beard
Light Flirty Flamingo   -  Top of the Nose and Mouth
Dark Petal Pink  -  Nose and Hands


I cut a rectangle from Soft Seafoam Cardstock using the Celebration Tags dies.  I attached the Gnome to it with Dimensionals.
I punched a hole in the top of the Rectangle and looped White Baker's Twine through the hole.
I tied it around the bow and tied another bow.


For the final touch I added 3 Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the top of the front strip.
Here are some pictures of the Luminary in the Dark.

Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper
Kindest Gnomes stamp set
Gnome dies
Celebration Tags dies
Layering Circle dies
