Lantern Card

Following on from my last post, here is the lantern card I made during a Zoom meeting with crafty friends on Saturday.  Most friends were scrapbooking, but I had fun making these. There are lots of instructions for lantern cards online, but the ones I followed are HERE.  This was actually the second lantern card I made on Saturday.  The first one came out much bigger than I expected at 6 1/4" x 6 1/4" when folded, so I adjusted the measurement and this one is about 5" x 5".

The patterned paper is from a paper pad called 'Riverbank Revels'.  Everything apart from the ribbon and the large square of  patterned paper was from my snippets drawer.  I knew all those little scraps of patterned paper would be useful one day! 

I made the flowers with punches....

 
.....and the hearts and circles were made with punches too.  The card folds flat for posting.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
Double D Challenge ~ Use your scraps Oops! Just missed the closing time. 



Here is the first, larger card I made, which I'll probably keep as a sample to remind me how to make them.

  11. I love the look of this Liz and you are so clever at doing this paper engineering, and the two you have made are both very pretty, and great papers coordinating beautifully with the plain coloured card. I think the blue colours are my favourite. x

  26. That is seriously amazing, Liz! What will they think of next? Wouldn't it be cool to make one where each panel is a playing card or a stamped playing card as a design for someone who loves playing cards?! I hope you're keeping well! Hugs, Darnell

    1. That's a great idea, Darnell. I'd had a miniature set of playing cards, it only I could remember where I put them! Thanks again for your beautiful card, I hope you and Kevin are keeping safe and well. xx
