  • You are looking at Celestial Lanterns or giant snowflakes. To me they are giant snowflakes, the largest measuring 30 inches across. I cut all three out on my silhouette cameo three in Ivory card stock. The large lantern is eight sided and looks like old lace. The second lantern a bit smaller, is seven sided. It looks rather modern in design. The fourth is nine side, with lots of triangular shapes.

    Let’s make these celestial lanterns, or giant snowflakes, in 3D! These are indeed very very large! When I first saw these giant paper snowflakes, I knew I had to make them. Snowflakes are one of my favorite subjects for macro photography. I look forward to those wintery days to catch the little ice crystals and look at them through my DSLR camera. There’s nothing more beautiful than those tiny works of art. And yes, each one is different from the other. These celestial lanterns are SVG files from SVGcuts, so you’ll need an electronic cutting machine such as a Silhouette, Cricut, or similar to complete this project. You can either…

  • You are looking at the Side of Fries 3D Pop-Up Box Card I made for a birthday card. This card is very colorful and is a lot of fun. It actually looks like a box of french fries that you would get from a fast food restaurant! For the box base I used red paper, with a blue layer going across the front of it. With a yellow layer on top of that. I also stamped "birthday wishes" in a label. That sits on top of the yellow layer. The french fries inside the box are a light yellow color. That I inked around with a light brown ink. The fries are also 3D that stand upright in the fry box.
