Festive Sizzix Lantern Tutorial by Astrid Maclean

14 Dec

Hello everyone! The Inspiration Team is taking a much needed break over the Holidays so we are bringing in guest designers from around the globe to Inspire you throughout December. Today I’d like to welcome Astrid Maclean! Astrid is a talented designer from the UK and I’m sure many of you are familiar with her work. You can learn more about Astrid and her inspired designs on her blog Astrid’s Artistic Efforts. Keeping with the Holiday theme Astrid has created a Festive Sizzix Lantern tutorial for you today. Let’s get inspired with this creative tutorial by Astrid Maclean..

Festive Sizzix Lantern

A Festive Sizzix lantern using Eileen Hull 3D block cube 658983

STEP 1:

I created a festive lantern, using the large 3D block cube. This wonderful die had a magnetic central opening in one of the squares, perfect for cutting windows in the sides. You need to cut the main die twice to create your cube.

STEP 2:

I covered two Sizzix little sizzles mat board strips with scrapbook paper, cut them out with a Sizzix movers and shapers circle die in the magnetic opening. The medium sized circle fits the opening to perfection.

I cut off one of the squares, so the bottom part of the finished cube would be open, and kept the cut out circle for later.

STEP 3:

I created a base for my lantern from mat board, covered it with crackle paint and when dry painted it blue to match the colour used on my lantern.

STEP 4:

I cut a couple of cherubs from the mat board once more, using another movers and shapers die. One was covered in paper, the other painted once more to match. I used the cut out circle to create a little stand so my cherub could stand on top of my lantern.

STEP 5:

I gathered some embellishments, using the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens mini and Vintage Tidings Thinlits dies and some flowers and berries from my stash, and then put everything together using my hot glue gun.

STEP 6:

A little battery operated tea light finished it all off.

Hats off to Astrid Maclean for this fabulous Festive Sizzix Lantern Tutorial! Please visit Astrid’s blog for more creative projects and let her know how much you love her Festive Sizzix Lantern.

Stay tuned for more Holiday creativity from special guest designers this month.

Hi everyone! This month the Inspiration Team is getting a jump-start on the upcoming holidays. We’ll be sharing holiday Sizzix projects all month-long featuring Eileeen Hull dies past and present and my new twist and style tool. This week we have some Halloween Sizzix Cookie Box Tutorials to share. My Cookie Box die from the Vintage Kitchen collection is the perfect container for sweets and treats.

Come along and see the creative tricks the team has for you this week. At the end we have an extra special Christmas treat for you too!

Halloween Sizzix Cookie Box

Pam Bray has plenty of creative tricks and treats in store for you with her gorgeous Graphic 45 Halloween Sizzix Cookie Box project. Pam covered my Cookie Box die inside and out with Graphic 45 Rare Oddities papers. She then attached it to a candle stick to make it really “stand” out. Halloween colored tulle and Pansy die cuts from my Paper Flower Party collection finish off the look and make this candy container a real TREAT!

Go trick or treating at Pam’s Blog for more details on how to create your own Halloween Sizzix Cookie Box.

Anne Redfern shares her own Halloween Sizzix Cookie Box with a creative “twist”. Anne used my new Twist and Style tool twist up some fall colored twine into a fabulous fall bow! She also created a clever coil to attach a bat to her cookie box covered in Tim Holtz Halloween Idea-ology papers.

Anne’s creativity just kept getting more twisted from here. After finishing her Batty Halloween Cookie Box she moved on to the next holiday and created a totally twisted Christmas ornament! Walking through a wiry wonderland Anne twisted up a lovely hanging heart adorned with wired crystals and pearls. This creation would make a “heartfelt” gift or even a gift topper.
