Light Up Lantern (Mailable!)

Hello! Welcome to the Collab Hop with Scrappy Tails Crafts and Pear Blossom Press! As you hop along with us, you’re going to see some of the prettiest light-up holiday cards, all featuring your favorite stamps and dies from Scrappy Tails Crafts, and lights from Pear Blossom Press. Get ready for lots of inspiration, and be sure to comment as you hop along, for your chance to win a $25 store credit! 

Today I’m excited to share a Light Up Lantern card that is completely mailable! This is a genius die set and I really couldn’t stop creating. I have FOUR projects to share with you today.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I was inspired by a lantern I have in my home (see that big one in the back?) and so I started out with a cream colored Mini Lantern with black accents. This is the one I share how to add EZ Lights to, so it becomes easy to fold and is completely mailable! You do need a larger envelope to mail it, however: it is so cool and so unique.

Next, I created a BLUE JAY lantern using the Birch Die add on panels and the Cardinal Layering Die set. Yes, I turned the Cardinals into BLUE JAYS! I love this die set so much, and look how you can change up the colors to create an entirely new bird!

You have to check out the video to see how beautiful the sides are using that Birch Tree Add-On die set! I cut the trees out of silver glitter paper and added a blue frame by simply cutting out the inside pieces of the Basic Shaped Lantern Panels. I added some vellum to the inside of each panel to diffuse the light.

The Carolers together with the Holiday Lantern Panel (Christmas Tree) might be one of my favorite combinations! I adore the layering caroler dies…there’s even a caroling DOG in this set! LOL.

For this red lantern, I used the new Lumberjack Plaid Distress Spray Stain for the lantern itself. I cut a striped paper for the topper (hello, candy cane!). The leaves are gorgeous sprayed with Mica Spray Stains in a variety of greens. I loved adding the Red Pearl embellishments. This would also look so pretty with a Cardinal!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Watch the video for all the details! I hope you enjoyed these projects today. I cannot wait to create centerpieces with these…and also a Slimline card! I still have yet to use the reindeer panel and also build a cardinal. Check out the rest of the beautiful designs that are available for these lanterns, too!
