I wanted to make something different for my grandchildren for Valentines Day this year. I saw some cute luminaires on Card Making Downloads, but none of them had a soccer theme. I lucked out because when I was looking through the luminaries I found a free one and I downloaded it. I didn't care what it looked like I just wanted the pattern. (The link below is where you can find luminaires; however, the one I used is no longer free) http://www.card-making-downloads.com...dex&cPath=1378
I printed the luminaire onto printer paper and used that as a template. I traced the template for the card front and back onto green cardstock, scored it, cut it out and folded it to shape. Then I used Washi Tape to tape the template to my DSP and repeated the process. Cut the DSP apart and trim as needed to fit the card base. The Soccer ball section, on the bottom of the Luminaire, was cut from a second piece of DSP. Sponge all of the edges using green ink before adhering to the bottom of the box. I used a third piece of DSP to get the soccer words.
The “GAL” words were cut using my Cricuit Machine. I used a soccer ball for the “O” in the word goal. The rest of the balls are stickers attached to the card using Dimensionals. The small heart on the front is punched using an “EK Success Heart Die”.
Assemble the box so that the back flaps are on the outside of the card back. The “We Love You” words on the card back are computer generated and punched out using Martha Stewart’s “1” Heart Punch”.
To make the Red Heart Frames: Place the Martha Stewart 1” Heart die all the way into the red cardstock with 1 edge at the edge of the paper (or the previous cut). Take Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Heart die #2 and lay it over the cut out piece on the paper. Tape die in place using Washi Tape and cut out. Arrange the words on the card back and tape in place. Use Dimensionals (cut thin) on the heart frames. Lay frame over the hearts and adjust the words the way you want them. Adhere words in place; then, center the heart frames over each of the heart words.
Turn on your Tea Light and set the luminaire over it. It makes a great nightlight and the kids love it.
