Our Cuttlebug Challenge this week is to create something with lights. My favorite part of the holidays are the lights: hanging from eaves, candles lit in windows, or bushes and trees strung with lights. I also like lighting candles in my home all year long; occasionally at dinner or when I have a chance to soak in the bath tub...I light candles and turn out the lights. The lantern I made for today's post will be displayed in my craft room. My lantern has a wood base and a small light bulb in the center. First I stamped a dragonfly and floral image in various inks on mulberry paper. Then I covered 4 chipboard frames with the stamped mulberry paper. I used my crop-a-dile and jump rings to join the four sides.Come back tomorrow for my tutorial on Gifts From the Kitchen. I have a few quick and easy gifts to showcase tomorrow :)
Welcome to our first ever Festival of Lights from the fabulous team at the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog!
The party kicked off over on the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog with a map of the participating Design Team , if you get lost on the way no worries, just check the DT off the map.

Hi June, the way you constructed your lantern with jump rings is so different, very cool design!
Im sure you will enjoy it...just dont try to craft by candlelight *giggle* That could lead to a bandaid!
This is so soft and elegant June! Beautiful work and I love the use of mulberry paper...it adds such a perfect dimension and texture!

cute lantern will try this in the future. scrapaliciousleo@gmail.com
Quite like the jump ring idea!
very very pretty. love this a lot.
Very pretty latern, love the color of it. Thanks for sharing.
such a pretty lantern
Wow, I love the ring detail on the sides.
great light there :)
I have seen where something similar is made to fit on the Febreze square lit scent thingy. Anything that gives off light works. I am glad that there are those battery lit tea lights now. They are much safer when using paper.
Stunning lantern. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
oooh beautiful dear! your hard work really shows!
Great idea to use the jump rings! Beautiful job!
