These lanterns are made out of cardstock and vellum paper and have a battery powered tea-light to give it a glow.  By using the dark cardstock it gives the illusion of iron lanterns.  Thanks to Lia Griffith for this wonderful cut file.

I made a couple of these, I just love how they turned out.

 I made this card while I was at a Stampin up demonstrator’s house.  It has several layers added but is very simple to make.

I did a couple of cute cards this time around.  I made a penguin stack and then added names to the penguins.  I added washi tape around a couple of the penguins to look like scarves, then I added a little saying on the inside.

This next penguin card was made with my cutting machine.  I wanted to see how well the penguins would turn out and I think I did a great job with it.  The inside has a simple saying of warm wishes.

Peace on Earth, don’t we all wish for this to happen.  This card just screams peacefulness.  Can’t you hear the sounds of the forest, the animals scurrying around and the birds flying by. Most of the card is made with die cuts and some stamping in the background.

Here is a couple of gift tags that I made for some of my gifts.  The Santa is the one that took the longest.  Lots of little pieces to put together but well worth it.
