My Lantern Window Card 

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Lantern Window Card using the Lighting the Way Stamp Set and the Lighting the Way Dies by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Lantern Window Card

For my card, I decided to create a Window Double Open Fun Fold that allowed the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to show through behind the beautiful lantern.

First, I stamped the trail of lights in Gorgeous Grape on the card base for a tone-on-tone look.

Next, I used with the Deckle Circle Dies to create my window frame. Tip: add glue along the edge of the larger Crumb Cake die cut circle and adhere to the Gorgeous Grape card base before cutting out the circle centre. Then cut out both at the same time so that everything lines up.

I die cut the fireflies in White Glimmer Specialty Paper and brushes some Crushed Curry to their tails to make them glow. I placed the two on the front of the card following the trail of lights and one on the inside showing through the window.

The lantern was die cut twice in the Holographic Paper for the front and for the back to give the lantern a finished look from inside. I added some vellum to the inside of the lantern on which I stamped the fire glow in Crushed Curry.

The embossed sentiment helped to hold the lantern in place while a bow of Linen Thread and a glue dot anchored the top of the lantern.

For the inside of the card, I created the double open part by adhering the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to folded Basic White card stock. Thus, creating a perfect place to write your message.

Finally, to add a bit more magical shimmer, I used the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels scattered around my lantern. These are also retiring. So, make sure you get them before they are gone.
