July inspiration on the LawnFawn blog

 Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share some inspiration on the LawnFawn blog. Today I have a super easy and fast lantern you can make for any party or late night dinner you're planning this summer. Since it is made from paper you, of course have to use battery driven candles. 

I started by cutting two pieces of cardstock 6½ x 4 1/4 and then scored them like in the picture below.

After they were scored I placed a scalloped edge die at the top and the garden window die at the center of one of the sides. I held the dies in place using postit notes and masking tape. I diecut windows through each of the sides. 

I then used the arch die that comes with the garden window set to cut perfect pieces vellum to place in the windows which I adhered with selhesive tape. I then assembled the two cardstock pieces (trimming away a folded side on each of them) using doublesided tape. .

Last I cut some flowers and leaves from the spring-flowers-backdrop-die  back drop die set, colored and added them to the lantern using glue dots.

The LawnFawn blog is such a great place with lots of inspiration for your papercraft projects.
