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.
