Hello, Crafters.
We’ll be heading home after a fabulous Stampin’ Up! Convention in Dortmund Germany. Today’s video was requested by a demonstrator friend who was asked by her class attendees if she could show them how to make one. I didn’t know how to make it and there weren’t many videos on YouTube, but I was able to find enough to put my own spin on it!
The first card I made didn’t turn out too well but it pointed me in the direction I wanted to go with it. I gave up on the second card after I did a great test card, but found I didn’t have any Designer Series Paper (DSP) to finish it off – the base of the card was Grapefruit Grove! The third card was in Real Red Cardstock and that worked brilliantly.
I made the fourth card immediately before I made the video to remind me of the process. The colours for this card were Highland Heather and Purple Posy, and the DSP I used was Feels Like Frost. For the video, I chose Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and the same DSP but different designs. I used the detailed Bells buy ambien mexico Dies to decorate the lantern card, with a sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set.
These are some of the goodies we received at OnStage, starting with this really fabulous rucksack!
Inside the rucksack, we found a stamp set called Timeless Tulips, as well as this note pad and pens.
At CentreStage we received a credit card holder and the new stamp set called My Meadow.
When my number came up during Prize Patrol I won a stamp set called Parisian Beauty.
A later Prize Patrol was two stamp sets and the winners had to choose one to keep and one to pass onto a new friend! Michelle, a new demo friend I’d made earlier in the day through an existing demo friend, gave me her extra stamp set called Lovely Lily Pad. I was really chuffed she chose to give it to me. Many thanks, Michelle – you made my day!
I’m closing now, but I’ll show you the covers of the Spring/Summer Catalogue and the Sale-a-bration cover, plus anything else I’ve forgotten about! I wish you a very blessed Sunday and I look forward to being back with you tomorrow. In the meantime, happy crafting.

WELL DONE JAN. I MADE ABOUT 25 OF THE BOX CARDS WITH THE TEA LIGHTS LAST YEAR. I USED NIGHT OF NAVY AND GOLD AND SILVER DSP AND OUR BETHLEHEM STAMP AND DIE SET. EVERYONE LOVED THEM.
I LOVE YOUR DESIGN.
I can imagine your cards looked stunning, Debbie. That was a great bundle last year! xx
This card is just simply amazing. I love it. You made mention of possibly adding something where the inside bells are in center? What about just some white dots that would mimic the white snow like in the card stock? Or a few white tiny snowflakes? Think that would bring the bells out a little more as well & would look pretty. Not too overpowering. Will have to give this one a try. Looks like it just may need some extra postage for us here in the US. But really worth it for me. Happy you’re back home. Can’t wait to see your swaps. TYFS
Many thanks, Barbara. I love the idea of adding white snow or snaowflakes. I may do one of these when I’m ready to send them out! xx
FYI: 3DSVG.COM HAS MANY, MANY TEA LIGHT LANTERNS PATTERNS…JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT SHE MAY HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR. OF COURSE, THEY ARE MADE FOR CUTTING MACHINES BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN GET THE IDEA AND I BELIEVE I HEARD IN ONE OF HIS VIDEOS THAT THEY ARE ALSO ON PINTEREST.
GLAD YOU TRIP WENT SO WELL.
Many thanks, Barbara. Back home now and looking forward to some crafting! xx
