Stampin’ Up! Mini Curvy Keepsakes Glow Lantern Decorations

Morning, y’all!  Happy Sunday!

If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video – I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me!  If not – but you’d like to see how to make these fun decorations, here’s the replay. 🙂

A customer – and friend! – asked me about using Vellum and battery tea lights with the Mini Curvy Keepsake dies.  She also asked about using the Delicata inks on the Vellum.  So…I did it all – and made some Christmas and wedding/anniversary decorations.  Take a look-see:

The wedding/anniversary lantern plays along nicely with this week’s Global Design Project challenge!

Isn’t it pretty?  For that one, I cut the Mini Curvy Keepsake Die from a piece of Petal Pink Perennial Essence Vellum.  While I was cutting, I also cut out a snowflake from the very bottom (you’ll see why in a minute!) with a die in the set.

I covered it with large So Many Stars stars in Gold Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink and Silvery Shimmer small scattered stars.  I used my Heat Tool on the low setting to help the ink dry – the Delicata inks take a little longer anyway and that’s increased when on Vellum!

Before adding the decorations, I popped a battery-operated tea light into the inside – helping it stay put with a couple of Glue Dots.

For the sentiment, I used the MR&MRS from the Piece of Cake stamp set, in Silvery Shimmer Delicata Metallic Ink and then cut it with a Stitched Stars die.  I cut a larger star from Gold Glimmer Paper and popped the sentiment onto it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the stacked star with Liquid Glue and then added a big bow from 3/8″ Scalloped Lace Trim (I used my Bow Easy – you can see how to make the double loops on the video!).  The bow is adhered with a Glue Dot!

And…here’s how it looks all lit up!

I also made a trio of Holiday lanterns – with sentiments from the So Many Stars stamp set.  Check out the video to see “Love”! 🙂

These are made the same way – using Vellum card stock.  The sentiments are stamped in Real Red – and not stacked.

I cut them with a Stitched Stars die and adhered them with Liquid Glue to the box.

I cut pine boughs from Shaded Spruce card stock, using the dies in the Mini Curvy Keepsake Die set.  These are adhered with Liquid Glue and have a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (from the Christmastime is Coming set coming on 1 Nov) at their bases.

The bows for these guys are made with Shaded Spruce/Gold 3/8″ Striped Ribbon – adhered with Glue Dots.

And here’s how these babies look with their little lights a-shining!

Now – remember that snowflake I cut in the bottom of the Curvy Keepsake Box?  Here’s why…

When I stuck the tea light in – with a couple of Glue Dots – the switch is positioned over that cut out.  Which means…I’ll be able to turn my light on and off when I need it! 😉

Et Voila!  The Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Dies come thru again!  Can’t you just see these on a wedding reception table, for a Bridal Shower, at Christmas dinner or on an Open House buffet?  I sure can!

I hope you like!
