The file will cut 3 pieces.
The front and back layers
The middle layer
Once embellished and ready to assemble, they will stack like this.
Embellishment is of your choosing when it comes to this card. I am using Pagoda. I chose to stamp my back layer first with some super cute flowers from Basic Grey. Then I cut the 3 lanterns and their layers from Pagoda.
To embellish the lanterns, I used my white Signo pen for the tassels and my gold Signo pen for the strings. My last added touch was my stardust pen to the magenta. I glued the lanterns to the back of the middle layer.
Next I added some greenery from Pagoda around the edging. This time I chose to glue my die cuts to the front of the middle layer.
Then, I lined up my middle layer and my back layer like this.
I then glued them together.
My next step was to add the front layer. One again I lined the edges and glued.
To really pull this card together, I created a hinged door using the silk screen from Pagoda and the a rectangle from Plantin Schoolbook. I flipped and welded the image so I would have two symmetrical doors. I then folded along the edge and then glued the flat portion to the front of my card.
The door are completely functional. I used hot glue to hold them down .
Finally, I took a small ribbon and looped it through the slots and tied a bow.
The files are free and available to download from my blog
