Hello and welcome to CASEing the Catty – Sunday Blog Hop. Tonight I have some lantern glitz for you!

Here are the two of them together

The Window Box Thinlits were used to make the base in Soft Sky and the top in Night of Navy.The top hexagon on the Soft Sky box and the bottom hexagon on the Night of Navy were cut away. Thus each box was open on one side to allow the middle section of the lantern to be added. 

Taking vellum that was 15cm tall, I scored at 4.7cm intervals (which matched the dimension of each edge of the box) to make the lantern sides. The stars were heat embossed onto the vellum using Clear Embossing powder and then sponged Night of Navy. Mimicing the curved starry skyline on the card.

I cut two of each of the houses dies from the new Champagne Foil Sheets using the Bethlehem Edgelits. Two were adhered directly onto the vellum with Multipurpose Glue and the other two with Dimensionals. These were offset so they wrapped all the way around the lantern. You can see the front and back views in the photo below.

Rather than adding a sentiment, I attached the Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon around the top and tied a bow. This ribbon ties beautifully – making gorgeous bows!

And the top of the box can be opened.

 It was such a lot of fun making this lantern and I’m really pleased with how it turned out! What do you think?
