Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree - Cheery Lynn Designs

For Cheery Lynn Designs this week, I have created a Christmas tree, table decoration. The base of the tree is a hot chocolate container, which is covered with cardstock, and then the Snowflake Edger border was added to decorate.

Cheery Lynn Designs have an amazing range of Christmas dies, you can find them 'HERE'.

I have a love of snowflakes, probably due to being an Australian, and only ever seeing snow once in my life. Even though I was only very young, I can remember every single detail of our trip to the snow, and how cold 'that' snow was!

My Christmas Tree has been totally decorated with snowflakes, including the negative die-cuts from the Snowflake Edger. The list of dies used can be found below.

The challenge over on the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog is 'Tags'. You only need to add one Cheery Lynn Designs die to enter, and have the chance to win a $20 voucher to the store. For further inspiration from the rest of the Design Team, visit the Cheery Lynn Designs Inspirational Blog.

Have a wonderful day

Cheery Lynn Designs - Christmas Lantern, Tag & Friendship Card

Christmas is just around the corner, I’m not totally sure where this year has gone, which is a little scary!!

Cheery Lynn Designs has some stunning Christmas dies, and this week I have created a Christmas Lantern and matching tag.

A tutorial which can be found “here” in the ‘resources’ section of SplitcoastStampers that will give you a guide to making a lantern.

I used the XL-11 Covered Rectangle Scalloped

(smallest) to cut the shape from the four sides of my lantern, and backed each cut out, with vellum. The Elegant Evergreen Christmas Tree (DL144) is so detailed and appealing, though a smaller version was required, so I removed the lower edge of the die cut to make the tree the right size to apply to the lantern. I also adore the new release Snowflake 2, and knew it would look so pretty against the velum when the candle was lit.

It is not recommended to use tea-light candles in a paper-project. However, you can purchase battery operated candles which are perfect with no fire risk. These battery operated candles are so realistic; they even flicker like a real candle!

The Christmas tag was made with the left over cut-outs from the lantern. The CoveredRectangle Classic (2^nd smallest) was used to back the tag so the Elegant Evergreen ChristmasTree would fit nicely.

These lanterns would look gorgeous on a Christmas table, and could even be adapted to hang with the use of eyelets and some ribbon!

The below ‘friendship’ card, I created for last weeks post, but sadly my internet connection refused to allow me to upload the photographs. So thought I would sneak it in with this weeks...
