Today's creation is made using my Lantern die however I have used just 4 of the 6 panels to make a taller square box with the christmas tree stained glass die ( included in the set) simply cut form the front. I have also used the Brand New Moulding foam form Craft Artist ( Christmas pack) to make the poinsettias flowing down the box, don't they look different in foam?

I made ups the lantern in 300gsm watercolour cared to add little texture to the lantern and instead of using all six panels I cut 2 panels away to make the square box. The great thins about this die is that the top is designed to fit whether you use 3, 4, 5 or 6 panels giving ultimate flexibility.
I cut the Christmas Tree stained glass die for the front panel and used the rectangular window die form the other 2 sides leaving the back solid. All I would do to display this is add a candle ( battery powered of course)
The flowers are cut using my Poinsettia die cut form the new Craft Artist Flower moulding foam that launches on Hochanda on the 6th November. The great thing about this foam is that you don't need heat to mould this, although you can use it, I simply moulded and twisted the petals in my hands making the flowers easy to make whilst sat in for of the TV.
Ive added a picture here of what the flower looks like if you use the stamp as well as the die which adds a level of details.
Enjoy...

What an amazing creation. All the poinsettias are just gorgeous. I’m wondering where you have room to store all your lanterns without them getting spoilt?

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. Love the flowers. Looking forward to seeing this foam being used. Looks a ‘must have’. Not had any electricity since 6am. Could be back at 3pm so am at my son’s as was getting very cold. Have gas heating but it also needs electricity. Couldn’t even make a cup of tea.
