I've created two light projects for you... first, this lantern made of paper, powered by a battery operated 'tea light'. This was so fun to make and not too difficult with my Cricut. The trees and snowflakes are Cricut cut and the roof is Cuttlebug embossed Core'dinations whitewash paper using one of the new Christmas embossing folders.My second light project is a very simple one using a candle jar with a votive holder inserted in the top. The inside of the globe jar has a little 'snow' in it and some Cricut cut trees and churches. The band around the top is Core'dinations whitewash paper embossed with a new Christmas Cuttlebug embossing folder. I also stamped some white snowflakes on the outside of the globe jar.
Now... on with your Walk through the Park.

What adorable little trees at the bottom of the lantern. Great job. Hop Hop Hop
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs. Number one looks so incredible. I'd have to go with your second design. It looks much quicker for the time-crunched holidays.
ReplyDeleteLove the lights. The globe one reminds me of a snow globe which I have fond memories of at Christmas time as a child.

ReplyDeleteBoth projects are simply stunning! How talented are you! TFS!
ReplyDeletevery pretty projects you did
ReplyDeleteLOVE the lantern. Great color choices and I like the subtle layering. At first glance I thought it was metal accented with paper rather then all paper.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your little globe village with the candles. I am definately of the opinion that if it's cute and involves a candle that you can burn it can't get any better!
ReplyDeleteI love your candle ideas. I had to follow the link to get the gazebo cut file. Cute. I Love this blog hop.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Almost an oriental look.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
