Light Up Some Graceful Glass Designer Vellum
September 11, 2018
Today let's Light Up Some Graceful Glass Designer Vellum. A couple of weeks ago we created some lovely cards using the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum...but today we're going to create a very pretty 3D card using that same vellum....
Pretty but wait, let there be light, and there was light, and it was GOOD! Here's what it looks like with the lights turned out and a tea light burning inside.
Here's a side view.
Isn't this awesome--what a delight this pack of designer vellum can be--we're finding all sorts of great uses. I'll give you the steps to create this little beauty and then I'll give you the supply list below.

Card Directions:
1. Cut 4 X 12 from Early Espresso 12 X 12 cardstock; score at 4" from each end. Use the Layering Square Framelit that is just smaller than 3" and cut out a square in one of the end panels.
2. Cut 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 Gold Glimmer paper; using the same framelit used in Step 1, cut out a centered square from this. Adhere Tear & Tape to the underside.
3. Cut a 3 X 3 from the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum (see pic for design); color top side with the following Stampin'Blends: Poppy Parage, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Bronze, Old Olive.
4. Remove the backing from the Tear & Tape and center over the Vellum square (recommend laying the vellum on a plastic surface to prevent the Tear & Tape from sticking to an unwanted surface).
5. There will be "unstuck" tape which we will use to stick this square unit over the square hole cut in the 12 X 12 base piece. (Again, lay on nonsticking surface) Fold the 12 X 12 piece into a triangle with the vellum on the outside.
6. Using the lattice from the Petals & More thinlets, cut lattice from Gold Glimmer paper; adhere to the inner base with liquid glue--see pic for placement. With your finger lift the inner edge of the lattice piece to act as a stop for the triangle front.
7. Cut a 3 3/4 X 3 3/4 square from gold foil--adhere to inner middle square of the triangle with glue dots; Cut 3 3/4 X 3 gold foil and adhere to inside bottom of the triagle (these will help reflect the tea light.)
Insert the lighted tea light inside the triangle.
Your lighted card is ready to enjoy!
