Snowflake Lantern

When I first got my Silhouette, I tried it out, then promptly forgot about it for several weeks. But, when I finally decided to dive in and learn how to use it, I was amazed at all it could do. How did I ever craft without it? ;) So, when my DD asked me to make a few little gifts for her teachers, it was a no-brainer that I would crank up the Silhouette!

This cute box was cut from a sturdy shimmer cs and trimmed with cs scraps from my earlier post, the snowflake box. The delicate snowflake design is accented with Diamond Stickles, and backed with panels of vellum. It is filled with Ferrero chocolates, and at the bottom, I put a flickering battery-operated tea light.

Once the candy is gone, this is what it looks like with the candle turned on. My DD was thrilled! I hope her teacher will like it, too. I've run out of time for this year, but next year I'm making several of these for myself. I have several places around the house where they will look great!

Thanks for stopping by!
