Hi everyone, After my successful milk carton filled with chocolate that ended up being a gift for my son's teacher, I was thinking about a gift idea to give someone who can not or does not like chocolate and I came across an awesome project on Pinterest and I thought, I can make that!! The picture I originally saw was this one and it inspired me to make a tea light box card to give to my neighbours this Christmas. There was no tutorial and no dimensions so I went ahead and made it up as I went. To make a card base Cut your card stock down to 8" W x 5.5"H. Along the long edge, score @ 3.5" and 4.25" The card will be 5.5" H. Next, cut 3 panels of pattern paper to 3.5" W x 5 2/8" H.

Welcome back everyone, I have a wonderful project for you today :) Lets make a Lumaire!! I started off using this beautiful paper from  Echo Park's Oh Holy Night Collection Kit Here are the sizes you are going to need : 8 x Pattern paper @ 2.25"W X 3.75"H  4 x vellum @ 1.75" W x 3" H 1 x pattern paper @ 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" (this is for the base) Also cut 2 X cereal boxes (glue them together) @ 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" 1  X Pattern paper @ 2.25" W x 2.5" H ( this is for the lid) The 8 pieces of pattern paper will form the walls of your lumaire. Each wall has a sandwich of vellum in between 2 pieces of pattern paper. To be able to see the tea light flickering, you will need to cut a window out of the paper and replace it with the vellum. I chose this rectangle die - 1.25" W X 2.5" H to cut the middle out of my papers ( frame on far left has already been sandwiched with vellum). ...
