I made this luminary yesterday using Beate’s tutorial found here. It was fun, quick, and easy to make. I did one thing different on the construction. Instead of using the Nestabilities, I used my WIDE OVAL PUNCH. I folded 2 sides over on each other and then punched. Then I did the same thing again with the remaining 2 sides.
Here it is again with the lights out and a votive inside (I put the votive in a glass container and then put it in the luminary).
Here’s what I used:
Stamps: none
Ink: none
Paper: Silver cardstock, Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Vellum Paper (not cs)
Accessories: Scallop Edge punch, Mat Pack/Paper Piercer, White grosgrain ribbon, Wide Oval punch, Soft Subtles brads, Sticky tape, dimensionals, white brad, MS snowflake punch, some large confetti snowflakes I’ve had forever.

It’s such a fun time I year to make cards. With Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas around the corner, there are plenty of ideas of things to make but also usually a shortage of time!

We have a wonderful challenge hostess this month over at Our Creative Corner, Lori Rider. She has really challenged me this month and this week was no different. The challenge was to make a card/project inspired by your favorite scary (or Halloween-themed) book or movie.
The only “halloween”ish stamp set I own is Carved & Candlelit and I have the witch from Tag Time. Both of which are long retired. I also don’t and haven’t ever seen Horror flicks with the exception of Legend of Sleppy Hollow (Disney version), Harry 
Potter, and Twilight (if you can call those scary movies). So I went to My Digital Studio and created a Halloween card…not too frightening though! I also used the Verve VSOCT09E sketch!
For all of you who don’t think a digital card counts…here’s the real version. I had to print out the designer paper downloaded from MDS and the Stamps from Eat, Drink & Be Scary. I also changed a couple of the colors…
So…Here’s What I Used for the “real” card:
Stamps: All Holidays, Eat Drink & Be Scary digital stamps
Paper: Cast-A-Spell DSP (digital), Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Perfect Plum, Old Olive, plain white printer paper
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Black Button, White Embossing Powder, Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon, Black brads, Mat Pack/Paper Piercer, Dimensionals, embroidery thread,
