Fancy Favor Box Luminary

This is one of the projects that we did in my last class. I saw something similar to this on another blog, done with metal sheets, and thought, why not just use metallic cardstock. This Red is not Stampin' Up! However, we do have Brushed Gold & Silver Metallic Cardstock that would work beautifully for this project. Because I used cardstock, I can't use a real candle, so I have a battery operated tea light inside. I love the way they "flicker" to make it look as though a real candle is burning.

First I cut the Fancy Favor Box with my Big Shot. Then I used the Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder. This is a bit tricky. Place the folder over the straight end of the box and run it through the Big Shot. Trim a 1/2" off the tab end of the box so the folder will meet in the middle. Make sure you keep the same side of the folder on top as the first side. Learn from my mistakes ;0. Run through the Big Shot. I used my Anywhere Hole Punch from the tool kit that we used to carry. You could use your Paper Piercing Tool and wiggle it around to make the hole a little bigger. Then use Sticky Strip to adhere the side and bottom.

These would make adorable table decorations for bridal or baby showers, or even weddings. You could add a handle, ribbons, flowers...the possibilities are endless!

Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your weekend!
