So now I have a couple of projects to share. The first features the new Luminous Lantern Die, Roses Die, Rose Leaves Die and To My Friend stamp set...
I started with white card stock and used the new Luminous Lantern Die to create a four paneled lantern. The best part of this die... there are two separates bases you can use to create your lantern... a square base (shown here) and a pentagon base (which creates 5 sides.) I used the insert panel on the front and top panel to create the open fretwork. The remaining panels were cut not using the insert. You can fold the tabs in on top and loop a flexible ribbon ( I used seam binding) and tie it closed. I plan on putting a battery operated tea light in the base. I rose was created with white card stock and the new Roses Die. After cutting my petals, I colored then with a prawn distress ink, spritzed them with water and shaped the layers. Once they were dried, I glued them together and shaped the outer petals again. I added some leaves (created with white CS, grass distress ink AND the coordinating Rose Leaves Die. I added a bit of greenery using an old favorite, Fancy Foliage Die. The sentiment (To My Friend stamp set) was stamped on white card stock and framed with another old favorite, Ornate Ovals Die.
Here are the new items you see...
Now for a easel card featuring the new Lovely Flowers stamp set
and Fancy Fan Die
I chose a soft turquoise and kelp colored CS for my layers, adding a bit of DP from the Blooming Garden Paper Collection. A couple of strategically placed flat backed pearls serve to hold up my easel. I stamped my sentiments and borders (Lovely Flowers stamp set)
on white card stock and die cut with the new Fancy Fan Die.
and the new items you see here...
and some old favorites you see on today's projects...

Your card is so pretty! Love the color combo. And I LOVE that lantern. Gorgeous and your roses are stunning!!
So many great uses for those lanterns. Lovely.
Beautiful samples. Now I know what the Fan Die is, so I hope my previous post with another blogger is just disregarded. I would still like to know if there is a tutorial for putting it together and once it is, how is it mailed? Thanks

Both of your projects are beautiful! This is the second card I have seen this morning using pearls to hold up the easel card. I'm thinking...Why did I never think of that?
