Hi everyone! Happy March!! It’s Shari here back with another project for you. I’ve had this idea swimming around in my head and was thrilled to finally put them together. I wanted to make a luminary with my dies… and vellum was the answer to hold everything together.

This first one uses the Woodland Tree die with some scrap paper I’ve had laying around. I really like how intricate the die is and it’s beautiful when light shines through.

I’ve  created another using Slate card stock with the Super Heart Border die, and in the back you can see a peek of the Surf Blue card stock and the Mod Window die luminary.

These are really easy to make and can be used for a dinner gathering, bridal or baby shower. The sky is the limit with all the dies and papers available.

Please Note: To keep things safe, use a battery candle rather than an actual flame. 

I’ve shot a video of the process. You can view it below or on our YouTube Channel HERE.

  1. Those are so lovely, Shari. I need to use my new dies to make some of these for our Spring/Easter tablescape.

  2. I have a bunch of these battery operated tea lights so this would be a great idea for me to try!

  3. Love the idea. There are so many dies out there that would work for this project. Thanks for sharing your idea with us.

  4. Yes the vellum was the answer. I can see luminaries all over my house. I already follow by email.

  5. Oh! My! I never thought to make candles prettier by wrapping them with paper that has been die cut. And what lovely dies you’ve used. Gotta do some shoppin’ .

  6. WOW – what an ELEGANT and COOL technique Shari!!!
    I will definitely be giving this a try – THANK YOU for the INSPIRATION :)
